this is the spoken version of a poem i wrote on umx in september of 2007. the spoken version does not read all of the written, but that is because it felt complete at this point…the written one wanders elsewhere, but this felt like the right place to end it when i read it over a few times. ive been asked to read this one aloud, and it took me a couple years to do it, but here it is.

first written in november of 2008, this is the spoken version of sky lyric. there is a little glitch in the beginning, i’m aware of it. hope it doesn’t get in the way of appreciating what’s left.

this is the spoken version of a poem i wrote on umx in march of 2008. tell ya the truth, i listen to them and sort of want to do them all over! but they were supposed to be practice for the upcoming podcasts, that i can’t let my usual sense of perfectionism drag them into neverland. (especially cuz i have heard weirrrrd things about neverland).
i realize that my father has writing where i’m pretty sure he uses this line in a poem…but x is my generation and this xicano will take it from here. . .

winter…can be so long. this last winter was especially long.
many of these poems from the new “album” fever of peace were written to spark light, fire, heat to see me through the winter. here is one…an awakening.
