Pacoima Love Letters

We lost some soul today. Events that have occurred have now been erased. Stories shared are now oil based, but not beautiful. The factories have been overtaken by men who do no work. “It’s a shame,” the man said. His words were true. This poetic masterpiece has been taken from us. It’s being held captive … Read more

Hey Virga, Cheer Up

Hurry, hurry and catch up! The cloud has been abandoned. It did not want to continue on. We must save it before it falls behind the hills and it is lost forever. We can still repair it but it all gets blurry. Where are the other clouds off to? They float away to a better … Read more

The Inability To Do Math

Never have I fallen so low. Or been pushed down to the ground. I bleed from all angles And the lights don’t flash fast enough. The siren doesn’t howl loud enough. You’re sightless to my becoming. A little farther away from you. My nose bleeds. My elbow’s scraped. I don’t want to feel. Fury and … Read more

Ten. Ten Million.

I was gone for 2 of ’em. There hasn’t been very many of ’em. And you were forced into the world to learn it all on your own. I was nowhere to be found. Your transtion was halted, troubled. Letters cannot spell out the sorrow. You screamed for help. You needed me. And I was … Read more

Out of control!

Punched in the mouth. Blood sneaking through the cracks between my teeth. Knocked around. Slapped. Kicked to the ground. With bloodshot eyes and an anger filled fist I arose. I stood up with all my might. I looked him dead in the eye. He wanted more you could see. Picking this fight. He picked this fight. … Read more

In the act of building.

Like a roaring machine that exhales the most charming sounds. I indulge in the splendor. But orange lights flash. Information has arrived. When the notice arrives the cement truck spins with glory and pain. Here we are again. A call from the Governor, I see. We are standing with taped mouths and vicious eyes. Our … Read more
