everyday skin

July 10th, 2008

the unconscious wisdom
everyday skin
this is nourishment
pen, paper, silence

far from the nervous eyes
where hunger waits with time uneasy
i catch the moment
now still as the final breath

memories come rushing, then disappear

nearer my love
emptiness is a gate
the moon does not hesitate
come darkness

Scene from Training Day

a more complete picture

July 7th, 2008

About four years ago, during Bobby McFerrin’s workshop, at the Omega Institute, Rhiannon told me, “give something that is important to you.”

Recently, during a private conference for an on-camera class, I told the instructor, Doug McDade, actor and director, that I am not always the most forthcoming. Doug reminded me that the best actors expose themselves.

So, I have resolved to become more expressive and share these other facets of myself. Doug reminded me, “you are not only a musician.”

I never wanted to be one of those people who presented a business card that said, “actor, model, pianist, vocalist, poet, martial artist, composer!” But, to provide a more complete picture, I will open the perspective.

muthafuckas

July 6th, 2008

The boys are full of “muthafuckas.”
You don’t want to hear.

I’m afraid of the muthafuckas,
my damned self.

I could get a gun
and shoot some muthafucka,

but he’s only gonna be
twelve years old.

July 2nd, 2008

there are no words
no taste of blood

my feet touch the floor
without sound

July 2nd, 2008

I stand in the doorway, the sun beating on my chest.
As time kisses you still, I dream hard.

defense

June 28th, 2008

shoulders drop, weight sinking through my elbows.
the fear of knowing you, thinking does not help.
tension is defense and most time, i spend alone.
love soothes anxiety, if you balance the line.

shadows

June 25th, 2008

Stone heavy, I move in shadows

Each morning, I dive deeper

For a moment, spread across time

Release feeling into long dead nerves

And what I find is not safe
