I properly learned this song existed in July of 2021 but didn’t know who wrote it until tonight. I listened to Pablo Honey for the first time tonight and was pretty shocked to find out that Creep is a single on it. Let me try to explain. The first time I heard this song was […]

 SeedsIn a secret gardenI buried a seedthat bloomed and blossomedinto a field. Baby BreathOpen skiesBaby breath by a bridgeFresh breezeThe grass on your feetA smile upon your faceAll in a day.

BURN When an arsonist haunted our street my lip trembled with helplessness. The first fire, a rosemary bush outside the house  of an outspoken neighbor big white beard and pot-bellied,  picture a grizzled Santa Claus. The first time we spoke he told me about  the ex-son-in-law he almost murdered, beating him  and driving his car […]
