an attempt at being good-natured [Nov. 29th, 2006|01:45 am]
IN THE TEMPLE OF THE SKY

there are two trees, certain, in you
they reach a pinnacle in my purview
leafless and ancient
lifted and high
shivered up
in the temple of the sky

reaching after, remove
shuffle danger, planted in disguise
reeling so ball and chainly, remainly
only ever after settled plainly
ruffled and down
belly up
in the temple of the sky

there are calmer wanderers
calmer waters but stagnant in chain
a long line to the grey, shall I remain
ruptured and grazing
mirrored and still
knee high
in the temple of the sky

there are green buds breaking
beasting ever, kissing why
ever so leafy laughter, decide
head arranging
people sigh
chin up
in the temple of the sky

been a long time coming
going as they say, to the birds
to the bard of worthy words, worth more
with every pass endured rightly
go lightly
sing mightly
sure song
in the temple of the sky

has she ever sang softly
not awfully, lest a beat end costly
tell a good man of me, reasonably shy
take the good one
leave for nothing
gull, fly
in the temple of the sky

KARMIC FIDELITY

She gives me instant karma,
like blood from the knee
not the death from above,
from behind Two years,
on your birthday

I'm leading Three long on,
with a little help from herself
neither wants to do the dishes

We're passing One around the table
red wine from a green vine rooted
in sleeping shame,
I have no dreams
She is the table

[mood |not looking too good]

the pension, I had to wait till the debt was paid off and that is only just done, so that I've been unable to send you anythign all this time. But now, thank God, I believe I shall be able to send you something more and in fact we may congratulate ourselves on our good fortune now, of which I hasten to inform you. In the first place, would you have guitssed, dear Rodya, taht your sister has been living with me for the last six weeks and we shall not be separated in the future. Thank God, her sufferings are over, but I will tell you everything in order, so that you may know just how everything has happend and all that we have hitherto concealed from you. When you wrote to me two months ago that you had heard that Dounia had a great deal to put up with in the Svidrigailovs' house, when you wrote that and asked me to tell you all about it--what could I write in answer to you? If I had written the whole truth to you, I dare say you would have thrown up everything and have come to us, even if you had to walk all the way, for I know your character and your feelings , and you would not let your sister be insulted, I I was in despair myself, but what could I do? And, besides, I did not know the whole truth myself then. What made it all so difficult was that Dounia received a hundred roubles in advance when she took the place as governess in their family, on condition of part of her salary being deducted every month, and so wit was impossible to throw up the situation without repaying the debt. This sum (now I can explain it all to you, my precious Rodya) she took chiefly in order to send you sixty roubles, which you needed so terribly then and which you received from us last year. We deceived you then, writing that this money came from Dounia's savings, but that was not so, and now I tell you all about it, becaouse thank God, things have suddenly chaged for the better, and that you may know how Dounia loves you and what a heart she has. At first indeed Mr. Svdrigailov treated her very rudely and used to make disrespectful and sjeering remarks at table. . . . Bud I don't want to go into all those painful details, so as no tto worry you for nothing when it is now all over. In short, in spite of the kind and generous bbehaviour of Marfa Petrovna, Mr. Svidrigailov's wife, and all the rest of the household, Dounia had a very hard time, especially when Mr. Svidrigailov, relapsing intho his old regimental habits, was under

[mood |indescribableinsecurity plus happiness]
[music |daniel johnston! david allan coe!]

every thing matters

mood is reality

I wrote some songs today, it was a good day. a little bit of my zep binge is showing ttru I think. trying to stay happy and doing a decent job so far (beware of tinnitus and ear damage) I also tweaked an amp and a guitar into sounding 25% better each, which makes me happy

I need to find a way to turn the sound of the ocean, a stormy sky, and an abandoned theater into an album of rock music. any ideas? my most recent (and recently decided still in progress) album comes closest, but I think it probably needs to be written on a piano, which I am not very adept at at this time

farewell=show:
dan wiley
tom ulmer
jared pemberton
david anderson

the sound, 7PM, sat 16 sept.
let me know if yer coming!

[Current Location |t, it was really loud and tiring, but sweeet]
[music |turned my amp up to 10 today for the first time, what a blas]

I had the most beautiful evening tonight at jared's big 1-7 party. i started out feeling like a ghost amongst ghosts, then worked into a sort of spiritual groove. everything is in its right place with me and my florida people

some interesting music headlines lately: johnny marr joines modest mouse (for real), albert hammond from the strokes is releasing a solo album, ted leo hit himself in the head on a microphone and started bleeding, as well as continuing a show even afer a power outage, good job I say, Jason Reese from the trail of dead is marrying someone named Chi, in hawaii (seems like everywhere I turn these days people I know or know of are getting hitched or popping out babies)

well off to bed, trying to wake up early(er) tomorrow to drive to pensacola for church under an overpass

my sister, the other day, at the hotel she works at, checked in mr. Burt Reynolds. I don't know why I get such a kick out of that. she said he's charming, older now (born 1936), and he's there to teach a class at the FSU film school. Personally I'd like some tips on mustache cultivation

it feels like christmas and I feel like a kid... or a beatlemaniac. My led zeppelin DVD just came! it couldn't have picked a better moment to arrive. tomorrow is christmas morning. did you know my mom saw Elvis perform, with my grandmother? that would be maybe 2 weeks before he died on the toilet.

stay on the lookout for new rocking OGZinnas recordings, to be posted soon (ish), recorded on a 4-track tape recorder from the 80s that I got from a friend of my uncle many years ago, and just remembered that, oh yeah, I can actually use this thing. bill on bass, dan on guitar, and isaac on drums. some exceptionally phat beats...yes, get scared.

pet sounds [Aug. 24th, 2006|01:45 am]
[music |the beach boys...aaaaaaaaah (and still some zep)]

well we buried a 14 year 2 week and 2 day old labrador today, in the woods behind the house, next to the puppies that didn't survive last time lily had puppies. Latigo. Lily is in stage 2 labor and we expect 6 or so baby bulldogs in the next 2 days or so. maggie is very concerned lately with being the alpha dog, or, in other words, beating up her mom. maggie survived from the last batch of puppies... lily had them outside in the dirt and maggie was buried, she dug her way out and is alive and happy to this day. she's a fighter I guess. (I was rescusitated at birth..they say I'm a fighter too). some of the other ones were lost under the dirt. I was sad about latigo, but not heartbroken. she was a dog after all...an old dog.
