Soil – A Poetic Notion

Image result for oak tree at night


Death is my Religion

Death is my sacred Mother

Death is the vehicle by which my soul traverses the heavens

She is no macabre fancy

But a perfumed blossom

When I was a boy

I dreamed of a rotting woman in an upper room

She would beckon with her will

And I’d enter first the parlor

Then ascend the stair

There she lay on her sick bed

Eyes fierce

Matronly

Nurture and discipline at once

All would fade to such black terror

Such abysmall emptiness

So complete

It sucked the heart from the breast

The heart from the heart

All chambers collapsed

But then in the charnel stench of decay

A bright light glimmers

And I become a raging fire

Her stygian embrace was but soil

From which my sappling oak would spring

So I do not fear

But worship

For when I go to ground

I enter through the womb again

To return to father’s house

For the sun is spread throughout

In billion upon billion glimmers

And there I go

To hang

Till again

The ground it calls to worship

And births a nation

I the man

Have but one rite

The worship

Of the mother

Night

TFS 30 – Quality Nutrition in the Apocalypse


Panic is more dangerous than germs. I make the case for getting a few extra groceries. Worst case scenario you have a slightly fuller pantry.

No this is not a recanting of my initial observation that this virus while concerning isn’t apocalyptic.

This is a supply line problem. And boy do we have a big one. We are insanely dependent on China for goods essential to manufacturing, medicine, hell goods in general.

The United States and all nations would do well to secure as much self sufficiency as possible. Distribution of goods over wide distances is a tricky, expensive, and highly sensitive business.

Let’s not make it our primary means of sustenance!

If you wanna stock up and support Tim’s channel: https://mypatriotsupply.com/pages/rs-repdig-tim-pool?rfsn=1750310.2a7b74&subid=tim.pool

Tucker on our dependance:

Some people have been critical of Tim for “shilling.” Personally, I have nothign against people offering solutions to potential problems. I think that the beans and rice package the pariot supply has is pretty affordable and a sound idea.

Though, you’d also do well to stock up on nutritionally dense canned stuff like herring, etc.

TFS 28 – Perlenbacher, Carpentry Aspirations, and the Canadian Mushroom Feind


I talk about the thrifty goodness of Lidl and Aldis, which are right next to each other in my town. I got this premium Lager from Lidl and it’s decent. Frankly, this whole thing is a ramble where I talk about everything from my bookcase making idea to a dude who got loaded on psilocybin and ended up chasing an Oma with a weaponized broom handle.

The Distance Remained

What even is poetry?

I suppose it’s for when life is too weedy and wonderful for prose.

We waited a long time there in the brambles, amidst the tobacco smoke, we talked for hours. What were we on about? It didn’t matter. Together was wonderful.

She motioned towards the middle distance. A gesture altogether fitting for our joyous apocalypse.

Read me the story in the stars. That is what her eyes whispered.

I gathered myself. Trying very hard to remember all the echoes.

The distance remained.

Bewildered I sipped some of the coffee chilling steadily with the onset of evening.

I let the cicadas drown the question.

Beyond a billion years of bones nourished the trees that swayed amidst the rose tinged sky.

The South smelled of mildewed lumber and magnolia.

Her…

Little Care (Poem)

Image result for carolina old mill lexington


Trading tales

Out there

Where all else fails

Little care

She rests her head

On a shoulder

That’s long dead

Yeah she’s growing older

But still in circles

She wheels

The wreck through cycles

Bursts seals dance jigs and reels

Golden red

Sweet neck

Empty head

All hands on deck

To little care

Seaworthy

She’ll just stare

Too wordy

But just you wait

We’ll get there

Better then, yea better late

Silk hair

Paintbrush

Sketch a future

In tears and smiles

My suture

My little care whiles

My time away

Till

Skeletal

I’ve nothing to say

Be a scaffold

For burst roses

A tale that’s told

Forever

Of little care

That’ll never never

She’ll l just stare

Towards the horizon

My all my why

That the future lies on

Yea we’ll never die
