About Me


This is my only music page at the moment.

The corner bent into a perfect dog-ear

I'd need them again,
but at that time I couldn't see it.
I would read that page everyday for the next year.
"She sang a short tune.
daaaaa, da da da da da.
And I came from her soft touch
and slept."

We sat on a shoreline
watching wind scalp the white off the waves.
Sitting on a shoreline and if I could do it,
I'd dog-ear this page.
We spoke about growing old
and filling the future's empty stage.
I hope the weather holds,
but you don't need the sun to make you shine.
These island towns don't care for city folk,
but I think we can starve the city from our minds.
I know we won't want for much.
It's just me and you and a bed and a shoreline."
