5.30.2026 found a tape recorder from the 70s at an estate sale & i'm pondering how to incorporate it into my work. tapes of poems? would like to use "exuberant synaptogenesis" as a title for something. @flexvolcanic - "forgotten islands" is a collection of poems i wrote in april of this year (national poetry writing month), & one i'll be self publishing as a zine, as i've done for 2024 and 2025 as well. :) 5.24.2026 took the wrong path but wound up with some beautiful photographs because of it. "you've ignored displeasure for so long, you broke your perception of avarice; you avoid your fellow as precaution, taken by fear of disgust those you avoid notice." -from "forgotten islands" 5.18.2026 a weekend of: -graveyard rubbings -long hikes -tarot cards -bird songs -small burials -and an empty house "in [dante's] time, people didn't dream, they had visions; and these visions had meaning. we only have dreams, and dreams are haphazard and undisciplined, the meager vestige of a once great method of immediate knowing... you see visions today and you're considered abnormal, uncouth." -from "the visiting privilege" by joy williams 5.14.2026 "your dreams are the house you make from forgotten islands of strange secrets,kinfolk to the old thoughts you keep in your pocket but never let out" -from "forgotten islands" 17.17.1717 send me a letter - oneironaut17@gmail.com
