I walk
a thin line
between
and

My lies not quite lies, my half truths I

How sad is that?
I have bound myself to this construct.

I am a
prisoner
in this form.
![Page 5: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
I feel like running
like fighting my way out
![Page 6: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I'm a blank slab
hoping some lonely artist will just so much as
spill
some paint on me.
a mistaken brush stroke
a
of paint
out of place.

a blue print for some
lost masterpiece
never to be finished.
Anything
to define me.

But the truth is
we will
scream
and howl
and
shake
our cage…
![Page 9: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
but even if
the door
becomes
unlatched
we wont step
outside of it.
![Page 10: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We have
grown to
our
bonds.

Some people revel in the cage... and we the wandererslove them
because wesecretly admire their
contentment.
we hope they are
willing to
venture into
but they never will.
uncharted territory
with us...
![Page 12: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
so we wait, & silently rage, & shake our cage
until the day,
if it ever comes,
we are able to step outside and
run.
![Page 13: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
I spent some of the best years of
my life
What is this guilt that has been taunting
my existence
since childhood?
Even when I had nothing to be guilty for, I
felt
apologizing.
remorse.
![Page 14: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
When I realized this,
I cultivated the ideal of
I think I'm starting to
living with no
regrets.
forget the
way.

So I stay, with this
fire
in my chest.
Trying to
dull
the flame
with the smoke
of tobacco & other herbs
with my
fast friend whiskey
![Page 16: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
with lustful
thoughts
of unknown lovers
![Page 17: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
And Yet tempting it by playing
on the edge of propriety.
The more I play on that edge
the more I enjoy the feeling.
The more that fire
makes me feel alive.
![Page 18: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I hate myself
a little
for trying
to put it out.
I hate myself
more
for not being
able to.
![Page 19: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I fear I will be filled with this wanderlust
forever.
I fear and
revel
in this secret of mine.
The one that will
kill me.
The shadow
that I will neverlet go of.
![Page 20: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
the realization
comes to me now
that perhaps if I stop my
artistic endeavors
the fire
will die.
If I stop recognizing
its existence
then I will finally
become a man
worthy
of
love.
![Page 21: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
not being worthy of love
is a fate I feel is worse
than death
however.
I feel the same
about becoming the man
I am suggesting
I become.
![Page 22: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This conflict
is the origin
of the inscription
on my right wrist…
Nomad.
I have no place to lay my head
no peace
to be had.
![Page 23: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
So I make do with
what I have
and continue the
journey.
The question of
with wonder
and fear.
where it will take
me
fills me
![Page 24: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The question of
where it will end…
I am consistently reminded
by this brand:
Nomad.

a man with no home
to wander forever
to tread the earth
without ceasing.
![Page 26: Blood And Fire](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54949ce7ac7959132e8b4be6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Partners in crime, tempting
the beast
within.
With Love & Admiration,
