REVERIES 18 #83 “the death of decency”
if any
fucking fuck
ever
talked to any of the women in my life
like that, that piece of shit creep,
i would punch him the fucking nose

kind of guy.
it is long past time,
for decent people,
especially men,
to stand the fuck up.
REVERIES 18 #55 “redwood creek part 2”
more fire
more birds
more ukelele
from a glorious evening on the shores of redwood creek
REVERIES 18 #54 “redwood creek part 1”
earlier this month i had the opportunity to camp beside redwood creek in redwood national & state parks… was by far one of the most archetypically beautiful places i’ve ever been. I brought my ukelele!
birds + ukelele + creek + wind + fire
REVERIES #51 “back from the dead”
i’m not sorry
for being gone so long

REVERIES 18 #46 “great divide”
into the

what we want to be
and what
we are
REVERIES 18 #45 “head space”
finally
a place
to
rest
my head
REVERIES 18 #41 “steeple”
too steep too climb
in so many a day
been gone in the
lost highway
off the way there
little town
get off
and disappear
into
forgiveness
REVERIES 18 #40 “desired”
so deep
the dive
into the alive
that i forgot
it’s not
what i wrote
to you
what i spoke either
quiet places
so left out
in the course of
any normal day
REVERIES 18 #39 “forget to remember”
all day long
you are in my mind
then my thoughts
swallow it all
and forge
toward
but
this ember
still
breathes
REVERIES 18 #38 “this way”
why am i this way
no really
i know
navel gazing
star gazing
day lazing
whiskey grazing
endless mazing
it feels like
a way
i didn’t choose
this way
meaning: i didn’t mean to do YET ANOTHER SUPER MELANCHOLY SONG
but i did anyways!
reveries 18 #37 “a good mess all day every day”
good to get less
mess
reveries 18 #36 “good afternoon to the world in a dream”
i like the idea of playing with
not songs
not there at a ll
but want to maybe live inside one moment
for long enough
to make it not forget
able
wish i was closer to you
through
that
honestly
REVERIES 18 #35 “good morning in the world in a dream”
good morning you
in the world
in the
what?
I have missed you
cold studio
and you
bold listener
I don’t want to have any rules
or not have any rules any more
and but
i don’t want to make the same thing again and again.
it’s a balance.
staying off balance maybe
may be
where it’s at
REVERIES 18 #34 “storms in clear skies”
I don’t know why I make such moody music all the time
it’s not really a reflection of anything in me per se
it’s not really a reflection
also i took a break
yay for breaks!
REVERIES 18 #32 “collective sigh”

disconnect
between worlds
I both miss it and I don’t

reveries 18 #25 “fugitive”
where you runnin to
there sunny
in the light
in the clouds
with the withall
to be without
where you going to

wish and wish
perfect blue
reveries 18 #24 “long exposure”
so long
sitting there
in the leftover
places
where you don’t look
no one does
that’s where I found
the things
that made
me cry
thankfully
reveries 18 #24 “standup”
playing in the studio tonight, didn’t think i had much in me, and i didn’t, just stood here, looking for things to bang on. and so so so it goes that you put some room reverb on and a broken guitar and all the sudden it’s the blues. which is great.
reveries 18 #23 “cycle”
went round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round

reveries 18 #13 “imaginary band”
i wish i was there
in an imaginary
northern california
barn
with imaginary
dancers
and endless
waves
a collision of real
and thought would
i’d probably fall into it
like a venetian canal
a real myth
i wish i was there
on an endless blues solo
forever
dark figured shadows
and fire
no where to feel
like a stranger
no doubt to go
out and out into the world
a repetition of pithy complaint
over and over again
makes beautiful lines
get grizzly
i want to have a ranch in albion
and fall apart with the fog
into the oblivion
but real
nevermind the silliness
nothin
necessarily transcendental
just a thing that can
happen
reveries 18 #12 “stormy brewy”
oh alas
we can’t use waves as metaphor
anymore
too close
to shore
no more
for sure

reveries 18 #11 “listing”
this way and that
how come we never
hang out together
hanging over the rails
reveries 18 #10 “forgery”
seems like the real thing
reveries 18 #9 “artificial silence”
really just wanted
to pretend
that i could be here and there
inside of that big vast (place)
forgotten
pin drops
and make sense
but
as usual
instead
just a raw translation
a drawing on a napkin
fr you to find
friend finder
reveries #8 “video gem”
this thing
this old (new)
replica
of an old
chinese
wind instrument
(ie, can’t remember the name)
chopped up
and maddeningly turned
to
doomsday beat
seems
just about
right
right now
reveries #7 “i am still filled with rage and hurt and disappointment that being a good human being no longer matters”
what a bunch
of fucking bullshit
we have had to witness
too bad
we know
we do
