FEAR-LESS BLOG ARTIST PROFILE

meteors, love

the world is gong to end
and i've still not found my love.
many turns have been wasted before;
lives cut short too soon,
possibilities erased.

a silly and beautiful star grows in the nights
and now, too, in the days.
will it just burn up as i burn inside?
or will it be simpler, plainer,
its body quelled (as mine is) in the day's new sun?

the sun has set again
but the sky glows a dim red.
all i think of is love.
i open the cupboard
and sudden
i sense its ripened, swollen presence;
as if it were in the can of preserved litchi fruit, seated right before my eyes;
somewhere past the perfect printed green valley, beneath the even inked azure sky,
waiting to burst in a burst that will outdo any world's end.

---

after innumerable millennia,
the meteor drives deep into the earth's body
and is at home.

(sung from little Jack to adult Jack):

I’ve been making him do things I have wanted.
Do you think that you can really stop it, stop me?

If he didn’t want to, if he didn’t want to stop it,
He could be a man about it, and stop me.

But you, you are so alone, we all are so alone,
there is no hope for change, there is no hope for change,
there is no hope for change, there is no hope for change –
you can’t change.

(lyric by Jack Ferver)

9 Years Later ––– Around Post Office (1/2)

A photoshoot from summer 2010. With a few exceptions, all photos taken on-site at Ground Zero, in NYC. An unusual exploration into memory, death, and beauty. Referencing the tragedies of 9.11.01 became a way for me to channel my own inner-pain.

Please download & listen to an original track titled "Finished" when viewing the images.
