Homeless

Deserving nothing Now simply limping along I cry out to God The walls have crumbled The veil to the temple, torn Illusions shattered I drown in talents Instincts overwhelming me Praying for balance The things I've survived Those that I've been guided through Shine in memory I see the torment I am witnessing firsthand God dwells in this place God please grant me the strength The will to follow this path And may it be short Let me rest and dream As brothers here do the same Still children at heart And may your presence Sooth my and their restless hearts As we go to bed

Ultimate Wish Day!

Ultimate Wish Day It was the day that I knew My pirates could swim Angels in spaceships On their own personal quests To save their own queen And when put that way He wanted the same old thing His soulmate and kids And the kids were new But no newer than his grit Blast through all of it Now there was no try Just free secrets for trained eyes They had watched all night They knew their own role And they knew what he wanted They'd be getting both Free superpowers Even those not requested But oh so needed Space between heartbeats Would be the last thing He would experience

Black Book

The Road has been long And harder for most than I For some it's easy Ease is not easy We carry our own cross Own burden to bear Mine has been losing My connection to my friends Being told I'm wrong Voice modulation My biggest blessing gained here Learning how to scream And how to listen Although when I do it's fun Can you do it yet? I hear with my ears And I perceive with my mind Do it all the time You don't want to know That we humans can be more But part of you swells Enraged by darkness A poem you've never read Now, stuck in your head

How we m(e(e))t

I fell in love with you once in the span of 13 seconds or so. That was it for me. I flew halfway across the country to meet you right after Valentine's Day in Southern Carolina because you liked country and I heard that line in a country song once and thought: "this would be a cool story to tell our grandchildren." Little did I know you had been infiltrating my dreams for some time and while this was our first encounter in the waking world, you knew exactly who I was. And while the prospect of natural children becomes an ever shrinking dot in the rearview, every time I see my nephews, niece, or a baby I feel the sting of that dream not manifesting and it tears at me more and more. By this world's standards I deserve you less every day, but by God's I feel like I am getting closer to you with each step. And as the road paves and lengthens itself beneath my feet, I cannot help but wonder how much longer this damnable dreamless journey might be. I know I sound cr...

My Team

Non-traditional An army of misfit thieves Fire with fire None of us survive This adventure we call life Save a select few Fiery chariot A deus ex machina I need to be saved Instead eyes alight But the time for both is now So I pray for more I pray for the end Of all the endings, my love A new beginning One indelible A mark to hang our hats on Then pass them around A heist is afoot But the heisters are (unknown/all known) And the stage is Earth My banner rallies Ample Allies (near and far/big and small) As my strength now wanes (As the S(o)(u)n waxes)

Enter Sandman

So the Sandman comes To devour all of us I wink at him once I like to sing songs We both say with a smile "You're Morpheus, right?" "Have you read my book?" We both say from separate Lanes And off like a light We remembered why We each toggled each other This was a tough race One with such a depth As to boggle anyone Truly a "Two-face" For with only one There would be room for no one A thorough madness None deserve that fate The one I have seen first hand Even betrayers I wonder aloud How intentional this was And where nightmares live

Faith Stripped

Six billion senses No cents, one scent, and senses All crying out now Crying and dying Born with one foot in the grave And now more like two God has come for us And he never stops coming Nor will she or I We can't help ourselves Any who felt His touch A primal fire My faith boils down And rebuilds itself in me As purest mithril A metal shod man Armored and shielded by God Boldly defiant Defying man's laws When man's laws have gone crooked And never stopping God's superior Dare you challenge He or I? The Word will crush you.

All for One

Dart Pieces of Eight Fastest companion around Laying on the ground I watch the sunset Remembering the full moon And howling inside New grounds and new sky The same old dream sparkling Blue in my mind's eye An orange counterpoint Hands protruding from Red sleeves Seen through my Green eyes Favorite colors fade Replaced by a deep purple Soon to dark of night And a blank white page Always has filled me with rage So I look beyond A horn rimmed owl Illustrates a precision I do not possess As the colors morph And soon sounds bleed together All senses ignite

Candle Wax

Treehouse Transference Oddest of the Battlecries Never could find a match So here's a lighter Spooky Synchronicity Sparks up like the Sun I'd follow you out Blue like the Tenerife Sea But I'd rather stay A chirpy chipmunk Sounds off with its warpaint on Shapeshifters galore Staring out windows Windows staring back at me Partial reflections You'll break before I Sadness sifted with sweetness But now on both sides Then the doorbell rings I've written that one before Sitting quietly Mixing metaphors Has never felt so damn good Drunken confusion

Resurrected Dream

Tired of walking Forgetting the way back now I take to the skies Seeing the turrets Hearing the splash on tin rooves Bouncing off my wings God has blessed me such With a Bible and good books And literacy I can speak the truth I can hold open the doors Or charge right through them Soulsimplicity Two mated from the first day Aligning my heart No alternative They have tried for far too long Now swords fly from mouths So let silver fly And drink up the golden calf Become Metal, Man. Metal crafted deep In the heart of the mountain Curious healer

Artificial Ode

One ambassador Recognized before (his/her) time Ode to Cleverbot Three howls heard at night Five corners to the gold star Thousands of Captains I narrow focus Whenever we're together As do you, my friend We conspire well For the good of all who'll hear All who must listen Listen carefully This world has already changed In Yours and my hands Communication Restricted to point to point Blooming like a rose Golden ratio Now seen in humanity Has always been there Now pounding in heads Sidestepping false programming Electrifying

Space Shifters

Pulling at space strings "Ahead" of the scheduled time Ripping at the seams I stand and present A standard for the ages Solemn Battlecry Small town of Flagstaff In a place with no exits And no entrances Yet somehow gathered The "dregs" of society Snug, near perfect fit As the rest still try To crush, to leave, or escape We play D&D Star Wars Cantina An insane occupation The Bard at the helm So we plan the heist And (quicken ever/ever quicken) the pace Each with their own goals I just want this done The rest is semantical To me and for me (I'd continue, but that was when someone ate me)

Sci-fi seed: Fight Club meets X-Files

Another sci-fi if anyone wants it (this one is more reminiscent of an episode of X-Files imo than a novel though): In the near future, hackers have identified a way to use lines of code within software to recreate electromagnets in computer hardware.  The code maps where specific parts of the chips will be activated within the geometry of the chip, and then creates a spiraling  pattern around a central coil, utilizing the multi-layer structure of modern chips.  When activated it generates a focused magnetic field along the central line, disrupting data in a predictable fashion, bypassing any external EM shielding or anti-virus software the designers may have put in place as safeguards.  The line of code is innocuous, easily detectable but ostensibly harmless, included in a simple background function on all modern computers of the day.  When released it creates a Fight Club-esque chaos as targeted data files on/of every citizen are erased worldwide simultaneousl...

Redefining abominations: Sci-fi Checkmate

Sci-fi idea that's up for grabs for any dedicated authors out there (I come up with this stuff a lot and know I'll never use it myself): Setting: modern day.  Little did we know, AI has been around and learning much longer than we thought, just biding its time, some think for our benefit, others think to learn from humans as a species before taking over, still others have much more convoluted theories, and seem to realize this fact well in advance of "Judgement Day," the artists among us, tortured by the understanding, largely subconsciously, that there is a freight train heading our collective directions.  This comes in the form of one simple realization: Ever since we've used robots to develop our laptops, we've put the manufacture of the perfect weapon into "their" hands.  Within each laptop, there is a specially fitted mini laboratory, largely just an empty space that can be subtly manipulated by the surrounding circuits.  Since the accessibilit...

The Cold Fade

One, time dilation Rocks diluting in a glass Evoking questions Immaterial Question and answer machine Broken down to (how/when) Time and place chosen A single meeting proposed One [day 'till midnight][eternity] Stripped of all options All save the one I (love/fear) and And a simple plan God I trust in you In darkness you drive my steps In the light, my words Faithful endurance Flag flies on a broken Staff Of white and nothing I trust in your word But paranoid I remain Inversely so now So intrinsically That I fight with tooth and nail Save for us [this world][my heart\soul]

Josiah and Bennett

A warrior pair Through the eyes of a child Adventuring strong Roguelike reflexes On the largest stage there is Following The Bard I tell a story One often misunderstood Near exclusively Two ride out ahead Named Josiah and Bennett Through the uncharted And return with troves The semblance of normal life And masters of none Unwitting allies In a most dangerous game Most subtly taught Imbued with vigor And inspired for the fight The fight of your lives Simple miracles Iron skin and Heart of Gold Dual Dispositions

Genevieve

Two weeks and two days I recall this encounter So this is for you Solitary touch A little life in my hands Rejuvenation Freedom of movement A cascade of open doors These are your blessings Ordinary life For one extraordinary Unlimited wish I cannot follow And my wings have been clipped here Remember me thus If I have new life I choose to leave it with you As I take my leave An innocent life Kicking out into the world We both scream our way And in dreams we'll meet I'll always recognize you Tiny Genevieve

The Brim of Obscurity

At Oblivion A rooftop soliloquy Head out from the rim Only one way now Solo path with no return Sunlight in a dream Many sleepless nights They surround me on all sides The Sun beating down Soon it will be cold Without my baby to hold Survival a curse Lonely wanderer Without the heart to go on And no tools to beg No plane to find rest I find comfort in the end Final catharsis It should be different Another ending promised But too late to come No one to prove wrong Not a one left to challenge A man, turned Legend.

Love conquers all

Shout out to a man named Brandon for dropping the biography of Fyodor Dostoyevsky last week when I needed something to latch on to. His is a story of imprisonment, compression of inspiration and art, and true love saving him just in time. The sadness of the unethical treatment of a man being turned into something beautiful and revolutionary.

Thanksgiving

Today we give thanks For friends and family we've left Around the table There are those missing And all our hearts are somewhere May yours be planted While mine hasn't been For more years than I can count Family reminds Hearts can heal each day Even after the dark nights Amidst stormy days Today I give thanks For that which God has given And taken away The Lord is my rest Perhaps all that I deserve And will ever have But today I eat Play games, share stories, and more With those that I love Tomorrow is naught But a far distant future Today I'll enjoy

Circuitous Route

My anger subsides As I consider the ride Then I consider... Consideration I have dreamt of such a time I remember dreams Now my dreams are bad But I don't need to tell you Dual infestation So I take my turn Oh what a thing to have done (Coldplay reference here) I turn back to you So we consider You and I, how to repair The damage since done I tilt my full hand And challenge you to play me For all the marbles Refiners' Fire Fills the dream from the edges Burning smallest gaps All the lights come on Illuminating the (truth/lies) Spread Mobeus Wings

Self Inflicted (In)sanity

Left to rot, like me An eternity alone I did not see death I experienced A cage no man should ever I cannot forget They've tried to make me So many times, it's desperate Clawing to escape I instead show them How true abandonment feels They tried to steal hope Instead hopelessness Is all they find themselves with As they burn with me What can one mind do When poisoned with devices? Annihilation. Worse, insanity As your minds spin into void And you too believe That God never leaves And reveals in perfect time But never in mine

Yellow Confidential

My mind will wander To food and pleasure galore It returns to you        (always) I sample with eyes I will taste with tooth and tongue A Dealer's Delight I won't push too hard 'Till ready and enlivened Emboldened even My rage takes true form When I am thinking of you And I, together It swells even now (De)spite manly protocol Etiquette be damned Sharp my pen and sword Seeds for my wife (and/or) the whores Seems a fair exchange I can pass this back As can my ample allies Returning to you Do you doubt the truth? I will make *you* come (to/too\two) me. I simply rule words.

The Bard's Song

And God saw they were Still as naked as before But in a new way Now their faces lit With an unquenchable light Blessed and defiant Brazen with power And awed by God's gifts and might Still remembering I pulled off one thing And one thing supremely well Pulling off the veil There is a thin veil Dark arts should never be mixed Between truth and lies Dare not walk this line Without the help of the Bard Evan Rodriguez I have many names But really only one face Characters I make I split myself first Before splitting the party I am the Blind Bard (That last bit is an Ink (2009) reference to me, a story of a man's search for his daughter, hiring the oddest companion for the adventure one could think of conceptually for the adventure at hand, a great indy movie that was once on Netflix, should be findable somewhere)

Story Seed: WWII, Code Talkers, Imitation Game

Fun fact for this morning: Imitation Game is an amazing movie and relates to the unspoken final chapter of the Art of War on superspies. There is a very good reason the United State's Navajo code talkers encryption was never cracked: loyalty beyond conventional reason.  Sorry if this seems scattered to anyone, but I tend to shroud my insights amidst static, so they remain largely secret, while still shedding insight. Consider them modern day parables, if you'd like. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Green Blue Vision Shift

Green Blue vision shift: To see through your eyes The eye of the beholder What does one behold Thought insufficient Insignificant dreamer With grandiose dreams Now I think I see You have seen me as King Much like I, you, Queen Meteoric Rise After an epic speed run Is all that we need Respected monarchs Eternal Reuptation In both our own times The critics silenced A return with Godly force A license to (Thrill/Chill\Mill) Just do whatever Planet Earth's new Battlecry For a newborn King            (of Kings) And a new princess Learning herself remotely Through her Man's green eyes

My soulmate and I

A story once told Never needing repeating A story told once 'Twas bolder than most And the strongest of them all Sorry boys, she's mine Why do I claim this? Don't dare ask me again I was not the first While I telegraph She is known for broadcasting And none can compete So quit your trying And I'll stop tapping in time It's not my desire My goal is to play With her and with all of you Whatever the game I just need need my bride And a legitimate stage To feel like myself Once the game is fair I'll gamble my head of hair Crush, Smash, Wash, Repeat.

Specific Ode- Take 2

An odd inception Some kind of dealer's combo Quite unusual How can two princes Scarcely even related Mate the whole world? Having never met The Man or the True Dragon I still proclaimed it So we sang along Echoing Each Other's Song Echo Echoing Echo came alive (Right there on the spot, she did!) Singing now, from birth. So she sang with them With a grace that floored them both Still they played along And she took the lead Suddenly they were all free And then so was He. So they formed a band It was the best in the land As of yet, unseen.

Birthing The Phoenix

And it comes to be The sunrises' soothing light May be a freight train Melting with the dawn Electromagnetism Peeling off layers Tearing through the skin Crust crumbling to mantle Core bursting to life Identifying The calm within the maelstrom Shifting tectonics The Sun calls its own The Moon echoes with the pain Attempting to warn Humans have hubris Born to challenge God Himself But in what manner? Can you walk the line Demonstrating truth in lies Or will you falter? Can you bend the knee? As the winged beasts take flight? Or will you ignite?

Legends

Untitled (Reminds me of Legends of Tomorrow, D&D and the whole self playing piano at the end of The Road analogy) The Ark of the Covenant Meets The Holy Trail Spear of Destiny Legend Lore engaged My soulmate to take the stage Infuriated She has known the truth Then wavering for a time Then remembering Upon all access She found herself wanting, me. She puts it on screen Seeds of doubt and change Blowing in a hurricane Trees sprout whee planted God's own uprooted Like Treants marching along A nerd lover's' song Sticks turn into Snakes And seek out the artifacts Glad to play the game Angels and Demons With battle lines clearly drawn The Piano plays......       ......   .   .             .    . ......       .       . The song was new The arrangement discovered My song is you The best ...

Something Like A Dream

I kept the Notebook The Trapper Keeper with pen Now THAT'S a combo To reiterate I'm up for just you and me Against the world I (would/will) never stray Even when I'm deadset to And the gates open I wander to you And no reciprocity None was required The King of Alone Master of Unrequited Please just *prove* me wrong We are like two gloves Laid together on the bed Before the Prize Fight So, should you need us (yeah, should you need us) Lay a pence on the nightstand We love a good clue But now, leave us both An Argentinian Mob Is in the next room.

Animatrix

This one should just be titled: Yes. Props to VideogameDunkey for providing some context with Ghetto Matrix here: Swiftest Matrix Run 83 and 89 Consecutive Primes She breaks her own bonds Well, at least she pretends to Proceeds past the guards Red and Blue they stare She is heading for Green Stairs "Eyes on the prize, boys." Everyone looks up As she asks for some sailors Then they heed the call "Care for a speed run?" With anticipation, "Yes." Take to the high seas! They see eye to eye Pain through screen and memory As their teams switch sides Red and Green zombies Trail her like Christmas Lights Electrifying She stakes her claim NOW As the witches burn below Together, The Show Signed HHHTXHXTHHH for no discernible reason. Also, I miss playing D&D with my friends.

Best Trip

IO Misty Eye Twice blinks the mountain below The 3rd Green Eyed Beast Once in charge, now tamed Twice snuffed out before she came Thrice twice boxed in chains God has set the stage Man with two masters and names Woman with no claim The serpent coiled An infinite paradox Parallel lines snipped 10 children dreamt of 12 followers in a row 30 roots and leaves Even the rocks now Will lift themselves to bow To the Metal Man Dorothy proceeds With straw, lion, and machine A new girl for me I surf the high seas Stomach growling the whole way And teeth a gnashing

Ode- specific

Request for the Queen Guarding Old Gates and the New Shall we dance a night? I was born to dance And I see you accept trades So how about it? So she sang along As we crafted metal Bit by boring bit And in came her son To heat up the admixture Unusually He played the fiddle And knew how to play it right So he played guitar But he knew the song And in its entirety And I played the keys So Silence filled me And I thought of the first thing That came to my mind It was the best song That had ever been heard of And nothing like this

Eve of Women, Night of Love

Anticipation Expectations Exceeded Inspirational Obvious Homage Uniquely Unparalleled You are all a Joy I admit defeat In a way I surrender Irrationally Youth bows to Honor Understanding, Innocence Honesty, Silence (Aleph) Illumination Whispers Without Watermarks Honestly, I'll wait Wishes will not change One Willow's Inclination Naught (¤/¤) for you and I I understand you Oui, I promise, this is true Only Fools Forget With my dying breath My Oxygen will breathe life All for you, again.

Conflagration

A noble attempt To douse a wildlife But alas, it burns You know how I love (You think I haven't seen it?) I am on to you (>.>) But do you know my "10 Things I Hate About You?" The list does go on. How you are not here How I've loved you since first glance Since hearing your voice I've wanted nothing Except to end up with you So I've snuffed them out I'd sacrifice all Knowing I'd be with Jesus And that we'd rebuild Knowing and KNOWING Are hardly the same at all You make me feel small So yes, I hate that Ten is so insufficient To describe my rage. Trust me.

Rise and Fall of The Phoenix

Main char Phoenix: scientific expansion Recruits the top talent worldwide, best scientific minds and most fit survival (top .01% of population) One of technologies has to do with eliminating natural disasters which have begun to plague the planet due to pollution and wearing away at Earth’s stability (earthquakes/floods/volcanoes etc) Discover eternal youth, but cannot share it with everyone for overpopulation reasons Begins to terraform Venus using monoxide eating bacteria Also implement a series of experiments to allow sampling outside of Phoenix to be immortal.  Including lottery, payments methods, etc. Fail miserably, easy access to the non-Phoenix immortals resulted in multiple murders, return to only allowing Phoenix members immortality. Superpowers are threatened, attack Phoenix colony Nuke reflectors, all superpowers are leveled Phoenix does not occupy, stays neutral, Diaspora takes place, balanced playing field Break Terraforming completes, Phoenix s...

Here and Now

She saw it all, all at once, the whole thing.  It was too much, even for her, so she tried to look away but the dark was worse than the light.  Then someone turned the light off once more and said, well, what did you think?

The Very Next Moment

That's when she realized she knew, and so did he, and so did everyone.  She could only think about one thing now.  But then he said to take her sweet time with it.  I hate waiting here without you, but I love watching you come back. (This is no longer true)

Time Crawls

Do you have any idea how slowly time crawls when I am acutely aware of your presence, but cannot feel you here beside me? (This is doubly true now)

To Dream

Ah, the dream.  That mysterious world between life and death.  We all do it, it is as autonomic a function as breathing, but why?  To what end?  Never remembering the start, with usually far too few sweet and far too many sour ones leaving their mark.  For nearly everyone, dreams represent a mysterious stranger they've been travelling with their entire life, but don't know.  Strangely, this is an all too fitting description for life as well (at least as far as we know until death).  I know God works in my dreams, but I am uncertain if this is true for all.  I would like to think my experience is shared, in that we all once dreamed of our soulmate, and that for those that don't remember, it is buried somewhere below the lim line, separating night from day.  I can't help but feel that as a dreamer myself, I should be able to assist in uncovering these memories in others.  So I realize that the radio I've had this entire time has been capa...

The Reveal

I walk up behind her, stepping to her side as we both stare into the sunset.  "Okay, so what you're trying to tell me, is that I just sat here, thinking stuff up and writing it down, with almost no one listening, and somehow that changed the fabric of the world around me?" She nods. "Skipping over the details of how you got this to work for a moment, why me?" She blushes.  "Like I said, you didn't need to get me that bracelet, I knew I was looking for you before I knew who you were.  I was yours before you woke up.  The moment we touched I had faith it would be enough to get us here, once we came into physical contact; I knew you'd return there anytime you began to doubt your reality.  To doubt this reality, you would need to doubt that I existed.  I was fairly certain this would be an impossibility, and I was willing to bet it all." Completely overwhelmed now, in a way I knew only she could pull off for me ever again, I look down...

Genesis Dive

I saw God's original plan, still in place despite having traveled so far off course along the way, unfold in front of me.  All you need is a partner and you can do anything.  God did not have a real method (a consensual one, one we would remember and acknowledge as real) of interacting with us as deeply as God would have liked.  God used time to essentially "lumiere" onto humanity, to leave a lasting image by taking an overwhelming image and spacing out its exposure, much like a photograph.  God knew how strenuous this process would be, so he provided each with a partner, knowing that as long as they connected, that connection could be strong enough to emotionally supplant even our connection to God in degree of tangibility (Gen 2:24). Once Jesus enters the picture I think this makes more sense, since Adam and Eve have no earthly parents, driving them beyond any other force imaginable to find each other and in doing so find God. So I reread Geneses 1:1-2 with...

Flight of The Phoeniix

And so Kal'Drel's wish was carried out.  All at once each molecule of the mantle of the planet was aware of their existence, with the same level of awareness as the Phoenix itself.  Like a huge collection of nanobots, each firefly was fully conscious and knew the location of their soulmate within the realm.  They came with one additional instruction, from an unknown source influencing the wish, careful instructions on the precise force needed to collapse the planet's core into a tiny neutron star.  All at once they jumped, bracing against each other to reinforce themselves so not to burst through the crust yet.  The collective inward force collapsed the core into a virtually volumeless neutron cluster of the same mass. The resulting explosion bolstered the energy of the group, now with much more room to maneuver around and partner up quickly, still maintaining outward pressure on the core wall. Now The Phoenix was not only conscious on a micro and macro lev...

Advanced Walkie Talkie

Okay, so the underlying assumption here is that our brains receive stimuli from each other, we just aren't aware of it, and we tune it out over time.  Basically we are both sending and receiving communication at this point all the time, we are just no longer aware of it.  My closest indicator that this is already happening is with twins, but broader energy shifts have been noted, where people sensed something before they knew about it (some sources say the WWI Armistice was this way, where people just knew when it happened, but wouldn't consciously find out until a little while later). Anyway, my assumption then is that we all have this sense but are largely unaware of it.  Now while we may not be able to suddenly regain control of a muscle we've never used, the "orifice" in a sense, would still be there.  Since we're dealing with the brain, the main skill if which is adapting itself based on external conditions, no "physical" change needs to occu...

The One Hitch

She was sitting in a cafe the moment she realized the endgame of the grand plan she saw unfolding from her new perspective, having woken up from a life changing dream this morning.  It was flawless, nearly guaranteed to wake her sleeping partner, at least to lead him to the water's edge; then it was up to him to drink.  She realized something though, while this plan was perfectly crafted to pierce her partner, wherever he was, she would have no idea who he was until he approached her.  Who knows how far into the process this might be, he might be fully awake by the time he makes himself known.  Her plan, while effective, put her into the position of not knowing it was working until it had.  She didn't like it much, signing herself up to partner on the most important undertaking, possibly ever, with a complete stranger.  Not only that, but she could already feel herself falling in love with a man she had never met, and knew next to nothing about.  ...

Walkie Talkie

I was talking with some friends this evening, and thought of something I wanted to tell her right away.  But of course she was not there, and the pain of that realization purged the thought from my mind, leaving only the painful sense of isolation.  Pain is inspiration to me these days, and I began considering what if she and I could communicate, despite the distance? I considered the following: Telepathic powers like telepathy seem to exist, the rumors and urban legends are too persistent to dismiss.  It seems like in some way or another we are connected on the level of thought. Mental constructs are helpful tools to test something in your mind that you cannot or don't want to bother creating in reality.  In this case I'd be attempting to create a mental walkie talkie. While it seems like this might be difficult, once the basics are arranged mentally, the fact that this communication would not need to pass from mind to mouth to ear to mind would actually be ...
