Safety In Numbness
There is safety in numbness,
in so denatured a locality, so far removed
from nature and history.
And I’m grateful, deeply grateful, to be stuck here,
sinking in geographical and cultural isolation,
seldom jolted out of numbness,
in this seductively deadening place –
both sanctuary and termination.

Seeking Answers and Gaining an Understanding
THE LYDIAN PODCAST
A ‘chat’ in the desert with Lydia Lunch and Tim Dahl.
It may be worth mentioning that this conversation took place over breakfast…

Last Ride
You lose your face, your health, your mind,
and what do you find?
Wisdom…
that it is too late to use.
You don’t have time anymore,
time has you. It speeds up
as you slow down,
and all the wasted years come rushing back
as you run out of fuel on a one way track.
The last ride is an express train,
not bound for glory,
no more stations,
end of story.

Empty Pages
One might think by now
that the complete lack of payback
would have discouraged me.
But it hasn’t.
A jaded urgency
is my obsolete currency.
While doing nothing, I bask
in the glory of creation.
And lost to myself,
I find myself again,
setting up a screen
upon which reality scratches
in vain. To stem the tide
of pettiness, of complaint
so ingrained.
