Praise Song Sing

I
A dog hunches under my knees, which are under a desk.
Octaves wander into the light-licked corners of each room
in each house on this street. The sun is on the other side of the world.

II
A straight star unlike light

and proof is being needed.


III
The Chinese symbol for heat looks like a rain cloud and its aftermath.
The Norwegian word for lightning is letthet.
David Letterman once said,
I cannot sing, dance or act; what else would I be but a talk show host?
In Serbia, a hostage said to his mother through videotape,
Expect I die.
And he did.

I’ll eventually say each syllable
Knows you know February in 1959 did something like February 2002.
We feel it in the cartilage.
We shrink inside ourselves upon another octave.
We think music can’t be like this: our bodies decide
The unwoven sound crashes against us unlike waves.
Pluck an eyelash and your eyelid slaps back into place.
Throw another page into the trashcan like fool’s gold.
Let the dog lick your ankles because it loves you.
And don’t let sweet is sweet in any language bother you.

I am not a blogger. I don't have enough time to write daily or enough ideas to tickle the imaginations of many. But I do love words. This blog is only meant to provide me an avenue to publish publicly for those who wish to find it. Most likely, you've found this because you know me or know someone who knows me.

If so, enjoy it. Give me your feedback, if you have any thoughts on anything I write.



da capo = repeated from the beginning (used as a musical direction).

daemon = a subordinate deity, as the genius of a place or a person's attendant spirit.
also: the Greek form, rendered "devil" in the Authorized Version of the New Testament. Daemons are spoken of as spiritual beings (Matt. 8:16; 10:1; 12:43-45) at enmity with God, and as having a certain power over man (James 2:19; Rev. 16:14). They recognize our Lord as the Son of God (Matt. 8:20; Luke 4:41). They belong to the number of those angels that "kept not their first estate," "unclean spirits," "fallen angels," the angels of the devil (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 12:7-9). They are the "principalities and powers" against which we must "wrestle" (Eph. 6:12).
