Sit and look out the window at the crows tipping the treetops 
don’t move
I cannot I am rooted to this spot 
root chakra umbilical cord
blood riches feed down
to subatomic particles
Kill the autobots
Turn off the automatons 
​
a gull crying outside 
grey sky grey sky 
the heater high 
same old desk typewriter transformed
transmission still
being sent and received evermore
don’t stop continue 
walking the cold winter streets
listening.

Letting go.

It is the time for letting go of things that no longer serve us
loosening grips so we can step into the new
the moon is pulling tears out of me in tidal waves

I am downloading the program for every song I’ve ever heard
listening to the patterns repeat and expand
overdubs intertwine and separate
the ability of a voice to exponentially improve itself by singing in tandem
as layers refract and expand
​aural rainbows
this is my language 

I am growing inner worlds
scaffolding holding the future 
mapped with delicate wires
circulatory systems feeding the clouds 
refractions filtered through my mind’s eye 
spectral lights holding cells shining with promise 
witness empires perfectly executed
by leaving in the flawed turning of notes.

the relief of naming, decisions,
ending follows.

Braille Stars are in transit to Ascension. We will play a show on Friday January 25, 2019
​at The Kenton Club in Portland, Oregon in our current lineup.  
Braille Stars will then expand and grow and change into Braille Stars Collective, with new members, different configurations. Sometimes we will be a 2 piece, sometimes a full band, now focused songs, improvisation, instrumentation to change and rotate. Please witness this collective as it grows.
