Something I wrote many, many moons ago…it makes me laugh. Monster Rocket My jewelry box is full of your lockets So don’t talk to me about your deep pockets And your so called monster rocket Your words ring…..out like trumpets As you’re draggin’ me ‘round town Baby you’re only missing a crown Monster Rocket Monster Rocket Moster Rocket Lift me from the ground Stop talkin’ to me about your regrets Do you even remember when we met?

Of facts and fairytales… in chapters of suns and moons, memories of un-borrowable beauty ride the low and falling highs. A being more vivid and more blue than before The Rain arrived. The Dark became home… cooling the day-ending rays that bleed for Night in colors all Her own… The Dark became home.

This very morning… To the sun I did sing Won’t your please give me a name For I have lost mine along the way And now my smiles have all slipped away Without them nothing feels right Won’t you lend me your light Just enough to curl my lips tonight This very afternoon… To the clouds I did plead Won’t you stay close to me For in here there’s no shade, no tree And I’m burning without cover With fevers […]
I will try to make this brief, because it has the potential to be very long… Starting about 6 years ago, I was sick. This sick lasted for years. I started getting chronic sinus infections and accompanying intermittent fevers. These waves of sick were increasingly taking over my life. I was sick much more often than I was healthy. I had never had a sinus infection in my life before moving to Arizona- so it took a long time to […]

Grown outside the mind Love will do just fine My heart will skid and forgive My eyes open under their lids For I’m not sinking or sleeping But I am laughing and weeping In blue-yellow shades of time Love will do just fine
Standing strong > standing tall. In this blog, I am going to explain why this portrait was made. Much of what I say here could be applied to my other self-portraits as well, because many are built from the same place within me. Because of the major impact my height (4’11”) has had on my life, it has shown up many-a-times in my creative outlets: blogs, stories, photographs, song lyrics, and poems. However, I have never discussed it this openly […]

Seeing my distant cousins Scotty Wiseman and Lulu Belle in the Country Music Hall of Fame, was pretty freaking amazing! The Johnny Cash Museum Johnny’s marbles. The “Hurt” corner. I stayed there a while, listening to the song over and over… even though it was tearing me a part…I guess the good kind of torn apart. Yes, tears and maybe even a little ugly crying in public. It couldn’t be helped. I have never thought much about dresses […]
