always only almost

December 11, 2018 westyreflector img, nyc, poetry, words

i never jump
but sometimes
wonder as to be

/ squeezed between wheel and rail /
/ liquified into sidewalk cracks /
/ betrayed by the softness of water at terminal velocity /

a final taste of blood into quiet black
forever suspension
soul mixed into the city gutter

always only almost /
the city self-harm paradox:
selfish + public
too many other’s
commutes, …

[poetry] winter streams

January 10, 2017 westyreflector poetry, words

Yes, New York City. This time of years.

I can’t stay in my room that passes for rent.
Somehow I’m nothing without the trouble of garbage and the falling of heroes and the yelling of subways.
High lines and low times and fractured dreams and hated schemes.

Ravens in flight point the way to survive
filters for a global consciousness.
End of days is …

[words] since i heard the sun

October 11, 2015 westyreflector poetry, words

It’s been a long time since
I heard the sun
Call my name
It’s been a long time
since
I was supposed to
Find my way
Since
I felt needed
Slept through the night
Saw any form of
promised land

Dreams take me high
And leave me lovely
(but) also falling
[terrified]
judged outside
turned inside
At the back door
On a front line…

people now fear loneliness

August 21, 2015 westyreflector poetry, words

people [now] fear loneliness
more than
they want truth,
[and]
more
than
they feel hell.

[then]
we,
in a place beyond time.
in the company of love,
we live outside the li|n|es.

we,
who don’t fear dark,
you
[into]
me,

we know the moon
skies full of chariots,
unafraid, [again,]
we taunt the sun when it fakes.
[and again]
we could turn this world…

writing seeing

writing without photographs,
evolution’s parallel selection
to writing with
photographic memories,
:
the dotted lines between

imagination,
the sole (soul) hideout
halfway safe house
for
picturing
without pictures
:
// the fear of writing before seeing
// the legacy of our age

I Could Not Record Today

December 16, 2014 westyreflector poetry, real life, words

I could not record today.
My studio is not soundproof
enough for a city daytime.
Contractors hired by an aspirational
Brooklyn property developer
stamp rumblefooted underpinnings
for a cantilevered condo to be
four times the size of the
sixty year old
two family the developer
demolished a month ago.
The mufflebooms travel
into my rear office studio,
up through my mic stand,
from the …

STORY:

I’m in Detroit. Or what I think is Detroit. Wandering around in the rain. I’m in town to play a show and I can’t sleep. Neon lights abandoned Main Street. Restaurants and artist studios nestled between broken glass windows and crumbling bricks. Harbinger or fossil? Hard to …

Big Search

pulled in quicksand

Adam Had This Idea

December 30, 2010 westyreflector poetry, TheMexicanTaxi

Adam had this idea after we bought
our guitars on the beach
to do a record called
Music From Dave’s Couch.
We would release it only on vinyl.
Maybe only press 14 copies.
Now, Adam had never seen my couch
when he suggested all this.
He just knew we could make
a perfect cult record
from a couch.

The line between cult
and not …
