Earth to Ash Podcast Episode # 40 – I’m Thinking in the Rain

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m running errands in the sanctuary of my car out of the elements but thinking about the elements. In this case, a November rain on a Sunday afternoon. The memories are flowing back so sit back and have a listen. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Enjoy!!

Like a Death Warmed Over

twenty-three years
it was placed in a box
dead for you
dead like you
flatlined from any more pain
you left without a scar
as your zombie still chased me
biting
grabbing for me
I barely stay ahead
how dark were those days
where you could not see me
your vision obscured by the disease
your heart blackened by the rot
your eyes staring into some void
like our blood was no longer the same
that smell still comes back to this day
when I’m hungry for memories
some of them are spoiled
no good anymore
they make me sick
like the day I became infected
by you… by that living death

Back Arm Trail

when I was young
I took the back arm way home
where the town ended and the forest began
the whole journey protected
by those evergreen trees I shared days with

every step was like a play
knowing the parts by heart, knowing the story to home
running along in places
others stopping for a spell
little legs, lasting time in the in-between moments of my once-life

Earth to Ash Podcast Episode # 38 – In the Mist of Things

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m walking in the misty rain remembering what it’s like to be present in the moment. I talk along the dampened town streets about sometimes not being myself and needing a little nudge. Take a moment and bold your lines, shade yourself in when you start to fade. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

My Feelings

that time in the evening
of a September day
is a feeling

a time when thoughts can drift
when sound stays quiet
the road a certain hue of grey
like the sky, maybe one shade away

sometimes I look down and count the patches
kick the broken asphalt
to the dirted sides

where the trees grow
the berries bush
and flowers wild

I look harder at things
appreciate that I am
then

remember someone
think of some time
escape back to a similar place

that time in the evening
I could see into kitchens
and all those moths swarming the post-office lights

hear dogs and guess which one
see cats and watch them go home
smell sawdust and smile

that time in the evening
of a September day
was a feeling
