Fragment 71
to keep my optimism fueled for this thing. I still can’t tell if it’s working or not or if it ever will, but can you
it’s not the worst assignment you’ll get just wait until your task is repeatedly plucking the legs of various cicada from the gaps between their rotting teeth you’ll want to go back to blatantly secreting soil from the fingernails of fresh corpses before those hoards encircle the…

Fragment 58
should look at the NaNoWriMo project
for years so one day you may enjoy the feel of it in your pocket I suppose that’s the story isn’t it in some city of broken shells and unavoidable night work
and see what I feel about it
perfecting songs of pain gargling with gravel and when they wake the tender young ones scatter to the traditional winds
because of course I’m having some
though of course…

Fragment 35
wanted. And I wanted allthe toys. There was alwayssome commercial or catalog
base of this house here you see where the original foundation was laid and this line is where builders had some kind of cozy dream 100 to 150 years later or it may have been a fire or perhaps something we have no language for or understanding of and so if you look and keep looking we can steadily unravel how the…

Fragment 23
I want to take a break and I think that helps. One thing that’s been irritating me this week is a case of cracked lips.
why do you ask oh I see well yes that’s fair maybe that should be my catchphrase but in that tree no that one over there you’ll see the bird that stole a jewel from your hair you assumed you’d never see him again but that tiny hat is unmistakeable unless things have taken…

One more thing…
If you want some tunes, or the specific tunes I was listening to while writing and editing Fragment, here’s the playlist:
The full playlist (on Apple Music)
or
A smaller, but still probably too long, soundtrack (on Spotify)

Fragment
I’m very excited to announce that my latest book, Fragment, is available! I hope you all take a chance on this collection of little poems in a trench coat trying to pass itself off as a novel.

that’s almost as good well maybe take my word for it until we turn the corner then perhaps we can talk more openly I’m not asking you to trust me completely just yet but here take this swamp sparrow and hold it in your hand and every now and then give it one of these seeds one forenoon it may want to fly then you will open your hand and make a quick motion like this yes that’s perfect but for now…

If I’m honest I would like to see hersuffer. I won’t try to justify whybut if you had met her but never mind.
The imp inside these rust-colored cavernswhispers to the red river and dark cloudscreep behind the lens that pictures red more
red more and more laughs laughs that echosmaller and smaller in a bare room

I’ve been cutting, editing, re-editing, cutting some more, massaging, threatening, coddling, encouraging, &c. this book I’ve been working on.
We’ve both been through a lot.
But I think we’re getting there.
Anyway, here’s a chunk of it…
we imagine our selves as rushing through though these crumbled things need their own slow time as a plant in a pot but in the forest from the slipperiest slime…

I think the dentist might be right about some kind of mouthguard for sleeping. I woke up this morning with some pain in my jaw. And thinking about it, I think I often do wake up and I’m in the middle of clenching my jaw or I wake up and the first thing I do is sort of grind my teeth. I guess I haven’t really wanted to admit it. I don’t really want some mouth apparatus when I sleep. I have enough…

I did some good editing yesterday but I’m more and more thinking about what to do with the journal bits. I had the idea over the years of trying to do some kind of novel where there’d be poetry interspersed through the bulk of the work. I suppose I was thinking of something more or less like one of Basho’s travel diaries, but not necessarily anything to do with travel. Anyway, I think what I’m…

The problem with starting to post these journal pages to the WP site is that now that’s in my head as I write them, but I suppose, like a documentary film crew in the office, you must get used to the idea and eventually it fades into the background. We’ll see. And we’ll see whether or not I even keep it up. I suppose if there’s any uptick in interest I’ll keep going with it, otherwise, back to…

I found a community on reddit this morning that might be able to help with the hip problems. It was some technique called kinestretch, I think. I only started to check them out this morning, so I don’t know much about it, but I like what I’ve read so far. I tried yesterday to get the virtual PT thing sorted out, but after texting and talking to someone on the phone, they’re saying that I’m not…

I have to say that I feel almost optimistic right now. I feel like maybe I have some momentum with the editing and that maybe it’s the right thing to do and that maybe the book will be—I don’t even want to say it. But I hope it. I feel maybe a new freedom? I’m not sure. I want to say that I feel a bit more in the groove. A bit more that I’m, well not exactly in a flow state, of course, but…
