Baby, Get Lost Baby,
get lost.

I'm trying to sleep.

You can't understand
what I've been through.

All night, I've been dreaming hurricanes.
I bet you've been fooling around.

Now here you are looking for love.
rubbing up against me and
getting pretty vocal.

Baby,
get lost.

I probably should have fallen
for your brother.

He wasn't as cute, sure,
but I bet there would have been
a lot less drama.Baby, Get Lost by ~KillingTrees

After the Break-Up The void of memory between us is a broken mirror.
In another seven years,
none of this nonsense will mean a thing.

Hey, did you know?
The face you wear isn't who you are.
It's only a Venetian Mask.

When I saw through the cracks
I realized I didn't love you anymore--
but without you I've forgotten how to laugh and cry.

I wasted so many years fishing for myself,
but all I caught was a cold.
Pretty typical, huh?

Funny, looking back now,
what I hated most wasn't even you.
It was the 'me' I saw through your eyes.

P.S.: Are you doing anything Friday night?After the Break-Up by ~KillingTrees

Soda Tabs what I loved most about him were his fingers—
the way he opened cans one-handed,
and the way his knuckles would bend like a cat
curling it’s paw.

Some people might tell you about his eyes,
or his laugh,
or the texture of his hair.

Not me.

I loved him best for the soda can tabs
he used to misspell my name,
his yellow shoelaces,
and the cracked black nail polish
that will be with me
long after his name has gone.Soda Tabs by ~KillingTrees

Conversations with Strangers We’ve spent our whole lives having conversations with strangers
but there’s no one that’s stranger than us.

All we know how to say is ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’

What Mother taught me
is how to smile when I don’t mean it
and cry when no one is looking.

Now that I’ve grown,
I’ve got it all backwards.

There’s something the moon is trying to tell me
but I’m too blind to listen.

I used to know you better than this:
When I think about that,
I sigh expansively,
exhale entire planets.

The stars we used to watch together
have probably died,
but the miles of sky betweeConversations with Strangers by ~KillingTrees

you can't feel through fabric tonight the rain becomes the earth
falling from hidden spaces in the sky and swollen clouds
i hear it make mud of dirt, and lovers of friends
and ask, quiet, where are you going but down?

i’m not all there in the head
you’re not all there in the head, my mother says
i’m not all there in the head i repeat
sometimes i’m there in my toes and fingers and heart as well

and now - in this downpour moment- i lie on the street
so warm that i think well that’s where love’s gotten to
but where is your shirt n? oh someplace else
and is that a light flickering in the house across the road? hide!

Journals / Personal

I know I said July. So sue me for being early. I got my first proof copy in the mail today and, surprisingly, can find absolutely nothing wrong enough with it to require another go. The cover lines up right, the pages seem to be aligned correctly. There are one or two extremely minor niggles, but I'm the only person on the planet who'd notice them.

So for anyone who is interested, it is available at: [link]

Print: $12.95
e-book: $6.00

For whatever reason, the e-book only seems to be available via my storefront right now (left column), not sure why, but it's probably because it was only just released an hour ago.

Soll ich nun so bald erwachen?
Sonne scheint und will nicht
lachen.
Eine Sense hängt am Baum"

No problem at all. It's nostalgic for me. The trail I used to hike with my parents when I was a kid looked quite a bit like this.

The lighting, the brush strokes, it's a great piece.

fall to pieces.

thanks for the fav.

~KillingTrees Jan 16, 2009

no problem. When it comes to poetry I'm really passive/aggressive, so when I find one I like, I feel like I HAVE TO fav it. haha.
