All The Hollows We Wallow In

You say, "In a min, I am writing," like I do normally to you.

While I found a lost link in me, someone I used to be. On purpose, but still..

. Niedhavellir,

Feels separate, disparate, apart.

To be here now, to look at this aggregate of far-flung, fantasized notions of self,

Is worse than a shallow cut with a sharp blade

You know--the finger won't fall off, definitely, but a scar is made.

Feels a lifetime ago

And what did you do with that lifetime?

Seems nothing to show.

A hollow distraction, though--I came here to be anew.

And I find peace, am at least pleased, that I recognize me

here.


anyway, like I was saying:

All The Hallowed Hollows We Wallow In

They say, "Call it Frankenstein's Monster," and so a web, a plan, is made.

It's a tall-tale, to tell-all

And hide the truth inside

The glimpse of a whispe,r like smoky mist-vapor over water

How the secrets pass on


I'm in bed, waiting

For strawberry-season to come

The wild ones in the Columbia River Gorge at the base of Mount Hood

Tha t peak and peek ou tt in the springgtime, sweet mead ow timme,

That cusp of summertime,

and all the fallen antlers and dead leaves swam away in the winters' sludge,

w herr e a ll th e w ords n ow als o go.


That's all just to say, I'm starting this blog again, because my relationship with writing needs precedence or purpose, and maybe there's a tinny tiny bit of that here.
