Red flowers like blood
Sat on my lap
They tend to perceive this path
Strewn with impossible to fight
Foes
Fabricating fearful fine
Thread
Of my past accomplishments
Telling me that
“Past performance
Is not indicative of future results”
This is just where I’m coming from
But the end of the line
It will be much different each time
When I’m intending to break the pattern
And straighten out everything that matters
For me the most
Regardless
Circumstances
On the other hand
Because it all depends on my mind
Openness, tenderness, and perseverance
All these elements
Combined together
For the better
Understanding
Where I stand

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

You and your literary sculptures make me want to write forever! Your words leave me in a state of enthusiastic melancholy. For some reason this piece bought the intro to Jesus and Mary Chain - "Lowlife" to mind (Have to listen to "Rollercoaster" first!)
