WD 184 “My Desert”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. My Desert A studied hand, breaks the corner of the stormfront Measured- and- my heart beats with the breath of the wind – Can you hold destiny in your pocket?

WD 183 “Daydream”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Daydream There is a place behind the eyes Which fills all empty spaces With transgressions, animal input Plagued social ills A tablet of translation for things that might be and might be again There’s a heart that seeks to believe that the tall grass is fullContinue reading “WD 183 “Daydream””
WD 182 “Things Come to Pass”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Things Come to Pass I suppose I deserve some contraction Meddling with old metals, locks and lockets Smearing my liquid thoughts like paint across your dashboard Sunlight to sun-dip (But it rises again so quickly, and the dark barely has time) To win you over toContinue reading “WD 182 “Things Come to Pass””
WD 181 “Postmodern”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 169 “Haunted Temple”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Haunted Temple The eye is upon you While you go about your daily trade A pox, a curse, eye of newt and skin of toad And medication refills While he is, transfixed and transfigured into every sound that haunts Days of secret whispers in the pewsContinue reading “WD 169 “Haunted Temple””
WD 168 “Breathing Exit”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Breathing Exit Simple thoughts Fly into my mind like they are Drawn to rotten meat When we exit this space what becomes of the cosmic symmetry? The cracked surface between mirror and air And can we begin to manifest An exile into being -All night IContinue reading “WD 168 “Breathing Exit””
WD 167 “After the Flood”
Prose from the journal of The Guardian Fog. After the Flood In keeping with the terms of our agreement, I arranged for there to be a little accident. I slid out of your recommendations, into the purgatory of the after, a quaking reminiscence of previous pain and punishment, until the gods no longer allowed myContinue reading “WD 167 “After the Flood””
