General

I am a dog father and I love guns. Powerline fields, gray skies, summer mornings, jazz, 50s magazines, coffee and tea, graveyards, cathedrals, morse code, wheatfields, coyotes, deer, lambs, rabbits. I think that there is something of the lamb in me too—soft despite knowing the world's teeth. Empty barns, psalms, alcohol, orchestra, diet Dr pepper, farming, weight lifting, boxing, tattoos, farming, laying in trees and playing my harmonica, nature. I collect bird feathers, moth wings, bones, oddities, old photographs, brass keys, flowers, knives, antiques, dried wildflowers, moonshine.
