this one changes and morphs, is not afraid. this one is powerful in word, body and soul. this one is gentle breeze, fast current, warm whiskey and honey. this one's love is big and gorgeous. this one's beats move many. I miss you brother.

ember is all smiles as he drops some bootie bouncing bass onto the dance floor. we scream. he smiles more, overjoyed to take us as far as we are willing to go. as a friend and lover, that ability to listen attentively, relate, and give what is needed is finely honed. he offers his body, skills, and love easily, with full faith that it will be returned sometime, somehow, somewho. pulling his strength from the sticky sap of cottonwood buds, the mossy laps of old-growth hemlock, and the clownish antics of his golden friends, ember is love.

Ember is a good listener. He makes you feel like you're the most interesting and important person in the world when you're talking to him. And Ember loves his costumes which are beings unto themselves with names and everything. And Ember has a funny accent and would say cahst-ooms if he was talking about his costumes.

Ember is good people.

Words

The Last Flowering Before the Fall
(For Allen Ginsberg)

I see you floating there, back lit in white, tripping out on America's mad habit of mainlining plastic and petroleum,

Almost forty years ago you said our failing ecological systems were a reflection of our polluted consciousness,

You warned our addiction to the American Way would lead to the country's downfall and the destruction of the planet itself.

How intent your expression was, gazing into the television camera with s... read more

Looking down at the city from a broken bedroom window, above an empty church with a pot-belly broiler on fire, heating the whole place up and beckoning soft tapestries to dance, seductively in the hallways

Jade colored lights strung above asphalt blink:
GO!

And we do, down abandoned streets, past broken window homes where red bricks stand wobbly with their seams unfastening

Out beyond my perch in the tall sedge grass, where fresh water tickles the muddy flat, hundreds of mew and bonapart’s gulls rest, waiting for the flooding tide to replenish all that has been absorbed by the foraging of otters, eagles, mink, and grizzly bear. The tide will, of course, oblige, as it always does—this generous friend of the estuary system and coastal fringe. Slow but consistent, imperceptible yet always on the move. I can see it to the south, building against high shoals, oozing ... read more

The big ferry vessel LeConte pushes its way south, passing the sedge covered expanse of the Katzehine Delta to the east. Veins of frothing silver water spill the high country’s essence into Lynn Canal and demarcate green stands of uncut Sitka Spruce and Hemlock—the great trees of the Tongass National Forest.

Even on this big ship of steel I can feel the canal’s intensity as 25 knot winds stir waves that heft the bow of the boat. Usually I ride on the ferry’s upper deck, exposed and open to... read more

I am looking north, as I always seem to be, toward the mouth of the Ferebee River. Gray green water spills into the inlet from Lynn Canal on a rising tide. Thin cloud strands stretch across the blue ceiling like giant cobwebs while beneath, granite spires stand wind swept and snow free above the cold ridgeline that remains blanketed in a thick crust of white.

From where I sit here at sea level, the color green is a definitive feature throughout the forest, estuary, and inlet. For diversit... read more

The Tremolo I Don't Want (in ::Ableton Live music software::) I just made a mix with Live, going between the laptop and cdjs, and realized all the tracks I played through live have a tremolo sound to them. Its not super pronounced but its definitely audible and unwanted. I'm running Live through a newer Macb... read more
