...I walked cautiously through the gates
as the waters beat down upon the stones

Your capture made me violent
and the Almighty was weeping at the prescience of my actions

I was confused - but certain to bring you back
As the eyes of The Watching forewarned the Hound of Winter

This has been entered due to my uncertainty that it will stay in my current work (unpublished).

outtakes

Jeanna Cole and myself tried a collab- line to line. Didn't work too well. We'd do good though if we went per stanza... at any rate - these are the outtakes from my side that i liked.



your ears leak like two spickets

inseminating the ground with rose petals

they thread the dirt as roots to new fabrications


upturns the worm

plant your fingers to become new growth

strands of your hair have begun to wilt


... skulled up the rivers of change

this is an unfinished idea - i wanted to post something, so i didn't wait.

-----------------
martin falls back into the snowy fields of the yukon. completely alone.
an expanse of land that's never been touched or even set foot on by mankind.
there he lay, completely still, staring up at the azure blue heavens.

there is only silence.
a deafening silence that takes the very sound of his breath away.
he talks to the sky in a normal tone of voice - yet it is repeated as just a whisper.

[if a sound is made that breaks this barrier - this, silent's silence -
does it evaporate and travel into some fold of time?]

....

the icey bering sea.
a whaling boat makes a low rumble through small temporary bergs.
not a soul, lest the crew, could notice.

....

a shoemaker in the netherlands arrives at work;
december of 1784AD.
he kindles the dying embers of last even's fire.
as he turns to grab a piece of wood, a low rumble echoes throughout the timbers of this workshop.

a sudden moisture is in the air.

lately i've been working on my frame of mind when i write music. for example, to create a true ambient work (which i'm obsessive about), really tried to bridge the gap between touch and sound with my own piece of musique d'ameublement (furniture music; see journal entry on related subject).

thus,

what notes can describe the halflight of 5:00am - in the wet streets of a soundless city;
the street lights are losing their effect; a thin mist rolls up from the falls in the valley below.
in the distance, headlights can be seen as a man with the early shift sits semi-huddled in his car -
seeking warmth
- wiping away the fog from his windshield.

the lights turn from red to green - but no one passes their way.

a girl, working her way through college, turns on the neon sign,
letting everyone know that her espresso stand is open.

It was because love was apparent.
Why else?

...it would not be like me to write about reality. I exist in reality. I'm not alone. "I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one."

[plains of existence]

what if time were being played on video tapes (in some other plain of existence).

... I'll stop there for now. I'm researching.

What the hell people? It's Saturday and noone is doing anything. ... how about everyone's doing something? That would make more sense, since they are all away from their computers. Is there really more to life?

I just got done looking at a bunch of MSN Spaces. What's with these people that keep serious blogs? ... Before I go further and make this a serious conversation, I'll stop.

Nobody has listened to the station today. Well, not for any extended period of time. My average listening time - I kid you not - is just under 24 hours. Seriously, I had a guy listen for almost 4 days last week. {if, by chance, anyone is wondering what i'm talking about - please visit [www.loungingsound.com] for more details}.

I'm going to be starting a radio show within a month or so. I will do it just once a month for an hour at first. Then we'll see where it goes. It will be very 'Hearts of Space'(y). Info about the history of a chosen ambient music, and the music being played itself. ... my buffer is way down. I'm listening to the station, and I just rebuffed - it was a completely different song. At any rate, it will be titled, tentatively, [possible stimulus]. I think I've mentioned all this before...

[possible stimulus]

"...dissonant reverberation cause by noise disrupts focus on a particular aural lead which opens possibilities for original events in scale and latitude.

Much of what we hear moves in rounded waves through "planes of consistency" transforming experiences accordingly. For instance, abrupt noise makes us alert to an event occurring in both corporeal and temporal frames, such as a fire siren simultaneously giving rise to an image of flames and the dream-like event of something being on fire." - Brian Eno - Architect of Sound ^{[article by Jules Head in the spring 2005 issue of Skyscraper {18}]}

my notes read: "patterns, whether unpatterned or not, create solid images of something in the mind."

unpatterned patterns would be something with a similar consistency to the first - possibly some sort of mathmatical addition to the first - keeping the prime in focus whilst adding other material. never returning to the origin.

what's unpatterned then?

non-consistency or a harmonic that is tainted. a similarity at best - but unattached to the origin.

certain numbers and letters carry colors, words, themes - and vice versa.

not long ago i used the word 'sparrow' to match my mood - carried by colors, etc.. that is to say, words are moods, feelings, emotions, as to the psychological and subconscious attributes to color, sound, smell. does that make sense? i'm not sure it even makes sense to me - but i know what i was trying to say. - in essence, here's a poem that carries the colors 'canary/brown/pale/red' all the way through it.


how narrow the arrow missed the sparrows marrow
'twas a scare, o'
how harrow-ing
had been that scenario

"perhaps be more aware, o' sparrow;
avoid a tear in your fair wings -
and spare the air of death"


in any case, though the words are all similar and you could easily not rhyme a single word, the point is still made. perhaps it's the color of all these things in reality that make it what it is - or maybe what these colors are associated with. i want to say 'no' to that - but that would be a bit ignorant because i don't truly know the answer. this needs much consideration.

rebuttle?

nothing is ever black and white. everything must be unblack and off-white. which is fine... it leaves tones for everything in between. however, it can be particularly difficut when accented with red.

now, history/experience has shown me that between every thought is truth and between every truth is thought. that may seem neither here nor there; after all, it is mindless babble - but i'm attempting to solve my own problem with analytical nonsense.

so, let's take that. between every thought is the truth (so, amidst every conundrum is the actual/factual/truth) and between every truth is thought (the path to the truth was the thought process and it's origins). so, what i'm telling myself is that i need to remain centered in my thinking, remembering fact and probable, and not let my thought overcome the truth. not to get carried away in the thought; appreciate it- use it for understanding- but keep the anything but the truth in check.

yeah, that makes sense to me. it may seem obvious, but there will come decisions in your life that are complicated to make - unless you are person that dosen't think of your actions and acts on desire alone. in that case, i pitty you. because wisdom is better than all other things.
