2004-06-13 took a long time to stand
2004-06-11 everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell
2004-06-10 the same old town that bled her dry
2004-06-09 don't let me be carried away
2004-06-07 you say you've gone away from me but i can feel you when i breathe
2004-06-04 read the part and return at five, it's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
2004-06-03 and i try to be, but you know me i come back when you want me to.
2004-06-01 standing on a hill in the rain
2004-05-31 a clean bedroom dream
2004-05-28 the safety of the pitch black mind
2004-05-25 and i'd do anything just to hear you say, it'll be all right, it'll be ok
2004-05-22 and be forever with my poison arm around you
2004-05-16 this is the place you'll end up when you lose the chase,
where you're dragged against your will, from a basement on a hill

2004-05-15 So I wait for the F train (white city on the yellow line)
2004-05-13 i had plans for both of us that involved a trip out of town, to a place i've seen in a magazine that you left lying around
2004-05-12 with love from brooklyn
2004-05-10 how long i've been running
2004-05-02 "you will be collecting a series of unshakable addictions..."
2004-04-21 beginner's mind
2004-04-19 let's go to tijuana and lose ourselves
2004-04-16 out of the frying pan and into the fire
2004-04-12 i want to watch you lose control
2004-04-09 sun kissed
2004-04-07 here we go again
2004-03-31 you draw up your ego not from the stains on the black satin sheet, but from the precision of the poem within... the torturous, elegant process of each clean, white page fulfilled.
2004-03-24 SAN FRANCISCO. there seen showing.
2004-03-20 for a few minutes she liked you. but the fix is in.
2004-03-17 blood lust
2004-03-14 this is why we turn away
2004-03-13 with the one i keep where it never fades, in the safety of a pitch black mind
2004-03-07 too much is never enough / PALO ALTO / palms approaching infinity
2004-03-06 create the clues and the world follows
2004-03-05 morning
2004-03-03 you get what you want but you don't know what you're looking for
2004-03-02 it's sure as fate and hard as your luck
2004-02-29 carrying my life on my back
2004-02-28 it's just a brief smile crossing your face
2004-02-26 i'll kiss you again, between the bars where i'm seeing you there, with your hands in the air, waiting to finally be caught
2004-02-24 now i am home
2004-02-21 donna, whisper something in becky's ear
2004-02-15 if it opens, it will be i, it will be the silence
2004-02-13 not if you were the last junkie on earth
2004-02-11 i know how i begin and how i'll end
2004-02-09 bled white
