Broken blue nights sparked blood
I let all of my passion flow like all the dead love dug up and resurrected.

“I remember before they gentrified Brooklyn”

They should've known not to fuck with little girl blue
I guess they thought she'd accept her loses and walk away from it, She came back like wildfire spraying bullets from that car, I knew it was raining bullets all over cause I had that sound memorized, internalized, The sound I heard everytime I got off the bus at north philly, and up past the decomposing buildings to the bad lands. That sound I heard for the first time I was 14 in hartford and everyone got on the ground so fast. I guess I took a little longer because bone looked up laughing saying "Shit Lily, when you hear that, it ain't no damn fourth of july firecrackers." I knew what the sound was, and what it meant, But I stopped ducking down a couple years ago, and it definitely didn't have anything to do with bravery, just carelessness.
Wild look in her eye and old school harlem gangsters just stood by her, lifting their guns, spilling blood on those stairs, On that sidewalk and up to that copycat door spraypainted "No place to do your dope, if you don't respect yourself, respect my home." I laughed at the irony, sort of knew what was coming after she spoke to me, her language was a fucked up form of poetry.
Ligtning girl, i wish i could calm your skies.
I guess she thought she'd be free.

lady...i think we're in the same city. kundera & kafka aren't always the best company, and whiskey nights might be going sour.

shall we meet?

I don't want to wander anymore. I mean part of me does. just moving about without anything to tie me down.
but i've done that, and I don't want to do that forever--b/c I can't see where I'll be in the future, I can't see that I'd want to be constantly on the move. I'm tired of being mobile like that. I need to settle.
the last five years I've been learning my trade--learning landscaping. saving money, letting go of old habits. finding better things to get me going through the day.


I've been missing you too recently. i think part of it is because I'm going to phoenix soon, and won't be in your neck of the woods anymore.
i would love to come see you at some point before I leave. I feel i need to see you in person, at least once. smile

be well honey, don't be too careless, I'll be here for anything. kiss

So I mean it. No jive.

There should be a little newsprint booklet
of this stuff. like real pulps, or old labor
pamphlets. I think I still have access to the
New College of California presses, which
Press I started for them. I'm serious about
wanting to play around to make a short
alternative press book or booklet out of your
stuff. Take care of yourself, I always feel a
special need to say to you. You are definitely
one of Chandler's fallen angels, and I would
be crushed if I heard something really really
bad happened to you. Drago

i'm tired and naked on the couch. i wonder where you are and what you are doing. it's night time in brooklyn - i miss new york. i got some new shoes today.

i love how everyone's response to your journals is so strong. people who aren't poetic any other time can't help but be poetic in response to you. that's your contribution to the world, one of many. hug.
