The boy asks "How do you do it?"
"How do I do what?" says the old man
Frustrated, the boy screams "LIFE"
Smiling, the old man replies, "My boy, Life goes on, with or with out you. Might as well go along."

"What do you see in him anyway" They ask

"The person he'd be if loved" I tell them

I knocked
And I knocked some more
"Knock, Knock"
And God answered,
"Who's there?"
But
I don't remember the joke
Not anymore

The little girl with her undying morning spirit?

She's about that unplanned tattoos and painkillers along breakfast just in case life now. Y'know.

Ever gone to the bathroom just to breathe?
Carrying the irony with you.

Just like you see the light a thunder sends before you hear its loud roar
You'd see his spark first ,
and it'd be purple,
aren't all bruises purple?
You'd see him spark one last time and hear his cry long after his light is gone.

BREAKING NEWS : HAPPY GEMINID METEOR SHOWER DAY

Today December 14th, everyone around the world can witness the peak of the Geminid meteor shower where 120 meteors shoot across the night sky per hour (at this peak) in colorful streaks.

“Let’s not talk about the past. I really want to move on” I tell him.

“Do you know what the best way to move on is?” he asks, smiling

“What?” I ask

“Coloring your hair.” He laughs.

For some reason, I really hoped he had the answers.
After a minute, when he sees me giving up
He continues,

“I read somewhere that the hair contains information about everything that has ever been in the bloodstream."

That's what brought us together
The need to be apart

I do my thinking on the road
So the same thought won't happen twice
But will be long gone with the wind
The trees the houses
The sunset
I leave behind

"Why do you write?"
Is the equivalence of "Are you okay?"
That's why my fingers stutter all over my keyboard

Boy: How are you still alive?
Old Man: Death stood me up because I didn't treat life well

When the highs and lows hit

When the highs hit
I thank the lord as I get home from a long day
I thank the lord for the cold water that runs down my body
I would look at the water and close my eyes to feel it
And I would feel my sins going under my feet
When the highs hit
I applaud the lord for the blue sky, the wind, and trees I walk past
I thank the lord for the pillow
Where I rest my head
And I pray, "Thank you lord."

And when the lows hit
Like today
I run from the lord
From home
From myself
All my sins come back to find me
And I pray, "Lord, I am tired."

Honored to be announcing this collaboration with "Not a Goodbye."

It's been amazing working with you 🙌🌻

"Not a Goodbye is a place of belonging. It has been thought to be a home, a homeland. It's the place where I give voice to memories, space to dreams and shape to glee. It's an ethereal field of openness. This is where it all started. The way I'm now developing this project includes manly drawings and short stories, but I'm working with photography, filmmaking and music too. If I'd really picture Not a Goodbye as a physical place, there would be a sign at its entrance: goodbyes are forbidden here and memory doesn't prioritize the truth. 'Cause everything falls into place around that."
