Camera Obscura
mind the mind
when skin lacks depth
feet rebel against shoes
shoes rebel against feet
walk along the edge
of el caminito del rey
it takes seconds to die
it takes more to live
think about yourself
the lens is focused
beauty lives
4 adventure
digital thoughts
will not be recorded
vistas are blind
you need to wear shades
camera obscura
puts 10 years on beauty
time overate
what fate prepared
twists take turns
turns take twists
the canyons
still remember
the holes
of holiness

Night Whispers
night whispers – listen closely – come in – the door’s obsolete
in stillness – sounds know more than you – when time travels
thoughts fly more than the speed of light – imagination’s
another spectrum – he demands more than attention
close your eyes – insight sees more than light – listen closely
night whispers – the door’s obsolete – come in – sounds know more
than you – in stillness – thoughts fly more than the speed of light
when time travels – he demands more than attention – imagination’s
another spectrum – insight sees more than light – close your eyes
come in – the door’s obsolete – night whispers – listen closely
