Sand. Seagrass. Wind.
You are fed.
Solitude for breakfast.
I am constantly taking pictures. It is rare you see me without my camera. I use many of them in my poetry blog. This poem for instance, has a wide expanse of dunes and seagrass from Cape Cod at it's header.

People constantly ask me “Why do you take so many pictures?”

Because they help me remember.

i planned my suicide last night
It gave me a sense of feeling alright
I planned to take my pills and let them take effect
I have like 500 or 600 of them last time I checked
No more having to lie when I say “I’m okay”
Because I planned my suicide to happen today

Single
footsteps,
in the sand
form behind me,
another reminder
that my journey
is my own

The
waves,
They lazily wash over,
effortlessly
filling my imprints,
restoring perfection
to the beach

But,
although they are
now hidden,
I still know
they existed,
In my mind,
And from the sand
On my feet
your precisely placed golds, pinks, oranges, and splashes of rich reds
painted over by a mop-full of thick, dull graphite grey.
the words you so painfully extracted from your near-dead heart
agonizingly buried right back into the abyss of soul it came from.
your lyrics harvested from the insides of thinly-walled veins
dumped into a floating sea of dejected nothings.
shapes crafted from the convoluted map of a firing brain
morphed into one dimensional figures fitting perfectly inside a box.
frozen moments of space captured by a still-whirling mind
unfrozen and desecrated by your own, still-grieving mind.

Me
I set out to built
a street
a shed
a house
then wanted
a palace
an island
a country
a landscape
a universe

You begin to be
become
a universe
with stars
with earth
with hearts beginning
to beat
to know you

Hands up
Don't be shy
Say it out
              loud

   You hate the world!

Envy more
Stay jelous
         Ignorant

But don't come
               Crying
           Terrified
       And lonely
When everything is over
Ode to Ignorant humans who destroy mother Earth carelesly
Always give yourself the first priority...you come first...the world comes later.
