I still had to write them, though. You have to say things, not just sometimes, all times. You have to take the thoughts out of the ether, pulling them down from the sky like clouds or satellites or stars, examining them, and then apply them to the paper. Even when nobody's listening. The papers, the ink, they're there to help you get it all out.

I miss you

I love you

Don't go away

Don't come back

I hate you

I can't remember what your face looks like

You know how it is. Stages, relationships, friends, lovers, enemies. I wrote letters, some like lyrics, some like songs, and some like long run-on sentences that didn't make sense. Short and long letters, and folded them, sealed the envelopes, and then I placed them inside of these boxes.

Would you read them if I sent them your way? Would the things that I had to say to you a year ago, two minutes ago, would those things even matter to you? People, how I miss you, you lost parts of my past.

  • Sometimes one stumbles across some pretty cool stuff on youtube. Moving words and powerful tunes.

  • i wrote this in my christmas cards two  years ago . . . as part of a summary of the year past: a commission of love for the new. thought it was appropriate here, too. i was inspired that night. :o) thank you for you commenting.

  • Did you just come up with that? because it's beautiful.

  • cant stop listening to this song. is it on any of your albums?

  • thats a cool painting.

  • Self addressed, stamped and enveloped !!! Songs, like run-on sentences and long letters are placed neatly in these boxes. I've read them -two minutes ago, a year ago- what can it matter? I know how it is.

  • i love your words, and i like the music you made.

  • I never actually watched this video before but now that I have it made me very interrested in the rest of Brokekites's videos. Brokenkites: I love the little guys you draw and if you ever have the time I would love a couple of them!

  • Let's build something good that we can't see with our eyes, and be surprised when it's our turn to die, realizing that we actually did most of the stuff we truly care about. Actually became the people we were born to be. That we discovered our true place of birth and leaned into the harness of the dark and helped the sun come up a few times without having fallen asleep. Gave the sun no choice but to rise: even it had to find out what would happen next.

  • you got surreal talent in that head of yours
