Addicted to
you, Apollo. let me drink you in -
amber and smoky oak infuse each empty
patch of air graced by your shadow’s scented steps
the path you leave behind burns
these mortal veins
to ash

you, Apollo. let me drink you in -
amber and smoky oak infuse each empty
patch of air graced by your shadow’s scented steps
the path you leave behind burns
these mortal veins
to ash
sometimes I imagine
the heat of your hand on my neck
and the beat of the rain on your window
and my clothes
all bunched up and wet
in a pile by your bed
next to your white helmet
while I’m wearing your arm -
a belt
for my waist, tethering
me, so I don’t
drift off
The Inline-Six Engine: A Dying Breed
The inline-six cylinder engine is gradually being replaced with the more compact V-arrangement. I would not be surprised to see the inline-6 leave the petrol-engine’d passenger car arena entirely, and only be reserved for diesel work vehicles.
However, they will always hold a special place in my heart, because nothing sounds quite like a straight six. With their natural mechanical balance and great exhaust note, let’s take a minute to remember just a few of these excellent engines.
- TVR Speed Six
- BMW S50B32
- Nissan S20
- Jaguar XK6
- Nissan RB26DETT
- Toyota 1JZ-GTE
- Nissan L28 / OS Giken TC-24 B1

Long live the straight six!
I’m surprised the S54 isn’t on that list. That is one of the best NA I6s ever built in my opinion.
Dark thunder. Comes
and rolls in iron waves
down naked spines of Silver
statues; dancing, weaving. A shiver
on the tongue -
tastes almost bitter-
sweet. The tousled tufts of still damp
night stand tall. Ether mountain,
you mount me and together -
we. Insurmountable; still, dawn
feathers across the sky that forms
over us
dalmation covers to keep
us warm when winter
beckons at our door.
