songbook

This page is becoming a small home for my music.

All from another layer of my life.

Some of these songs were written years ago, some are finding new form over time,

and all of them carry little fragments of memory, meaning, and becoming.

For now, consider this a quiet beginning: a place to listen, witness, and let the music have somewhere to live.

under your skin

i get under your skin

just minding my own business, being me

when our worlds collide, it’s SWIPE

and there I am

I was a little too sharp for you

too razor sharp for you

now there’s a piece of me living under your skin

irritating you until you are red and hot

and you curse the day we met

until you can carefully extract whatever I left

of me

i’m sorry

i’m not here to annoy

i’m just minding my own business

being me

but if you want to avoid the pain when pressure’s applied

click “unfollow”, “unfriend”, or “block”
