Morning demands a burning friction.
The initial heat of existence transforms into the cool glass of memory.
The desire for radiance becomes the capacity for depth.
A spirit acts as a mirror only after it has served as a wick.
Persistence provides the silvering.
Silence honors the spent flame.
Glare now.
Glow later.
The early noise of brilliance earns the late luxury of clarity.
Energy spent is simply clarity lent.
Blaze today.
Behold tonight.

A photo is just a selection
it is a part
that calls itself the whole
a useful fiction.
We do not search for the truth
of who we are
we search for a frame
we can live inside.
To be sorted.
is to be selected
and to forget
what was left
on the cutting room floor.

The little sparrow.
Preening.
Unpuzzled by the complex levers of ending things.
It feels the rust on the dash.
Not the coming fire.
Isn’t it funny.
The thing that can hold a universe.
Is the same thing that
can’t.

Before the deal.
long before the stack...
wasn't there a shadow pact?
A cold wind.
We offer more than cash.
We offer life.
A breath.
A currency that won’t - can’t - buy me an exit.
The dealer just nods.
He has all the time.
And the cold, mathematical equations.

We build reality
from the corner of the eye.
the sky isn't a roof,
it's a mirror.
We are the architecture,
and the foundation is always
what's directly,
next to,
the self.

A mandatory grin
is a slow suicide
of the chin.
Service with a smile
is just a corpse
in a party hat.
If you aren’t there
the coffee
tells on you.
Truth is messy.
Lies are
decaf.
