Wandering as lidless phantasms through the cinders of a burned-out city, two spectral figures gaze at a bloodshot horizon while faint echoes of George Crumb’s Black Angels drift from a boombox in the ruins.

When a sudden gust pries open a window onto the vast Los Angeles heavens, a transcendent vision of grace and love’s renewal breaks through the August heat, echoing boomboxes, and desolate streets of South Central.

Under the cold gleam of moonlight in a storm-wrecked city, a tearless farewell unfolds beside an empty train station as George Crumb’s Black Angels echoes across deserted concrete.

Peeling back layers of masquerade from a cheap L.A. hotel mirror to infinite country-fair looking glasses, this haunting poem asks who remains beneath the shifting masks of memory and desire.

Standing before the iron threshold of history’s most infamous gates, this searing poetic work reflects on the violence of the written word, the death of the author, and an inescapable descent into the Universal Darkk.

Gazing through lidless eyes past the boundaries of knowing, this hypnotic poem confronts a distant star's glow and the approaching shadow of a lover’s deadly touch.

Calling out to the exhausted moonlight beyond the bounds of space and silence, this evocative incantation weaves Spanish folkloric refrains with a desperate plea to rescue a fallen celestial muse.

Trapped in a loop of helpless infancy and haunting longing, this visceral poem wanders through forgotten storefronts and drifting avant-garde strings, aching to be hushed into sleep.

• Wandering through the Kingdom of Detours from the Watts Towers to Tenochtitlan and Paris, this sweeping poetic work collides memory, violence, and mirror reflections into a single question: What is beauty?

• Rising like a dark peacock across the sky, night suffocates the lunar glow in this striking lament for a moon bleeding its final spell of light.

• As the golden sun vanishes into darkness, "The Moon Is Dreaming" lingers in the cold silver dusk, confronting the distant shadow that has stolen a beloved soul forever.

Plunging through a surreal cosmic abyss, "Tongues" portrays an intimate catastrophe where loving declarations echo out of reach, and the voice is severed just before it can answer.
