Wading

I'm wading into your waterin a unceasing surrender, just breathand let the condensation gather on the glassI am emptied as a cupfor you (someone?) to fillI am stung by life, a beeenraptured in my false visioninquiring at every positionWhat is life?but a lived questionWhat is life?but squeezing the grace of giftand being inebriated on the…

impermanence

I feel it coming onlike a veil in the nightafter all the reminiscingand redactionidentifying the flawsa reencounteringit was a trojan horse third wheelingthese flashes of the irean insipid betrayalburning deep into the nighta loss of white robes Now recognize it's impermanence and let it fade into the wind

Tongues

You cannot stifle a volcano nor prevent it from belching and vomiting magma molten liquid earth you cannot tame the tongue a wildfire spark crawling up flame retardant living-room curtains tongues of a whip the sting of a scorpion blood flows mingling down out of this cave comes celestial hymns and comes the imprecatory invocations…

Stupor

I fell into a stuporAll aroundTransfixed moonshot boundinsomniacmoon walkingCrawling inchwormI see it nowIn the crowning of birthIs our coronationA blithe sensationTell me I amOf worthinessEarthboundAnd yet otherworldlyTell me my allegianceFloundering in my innermost beingGasping a fish out of waterCircumspect of possibilitiesYet immobile

Falcon 1/7/2023

Be on the concave  Burrowing deeper within the crust  Driven by discovery   To unearth the inner core with our trowels  In spite of grinding of molars at night  In spite of hip tension     I choose Exodus   Rather than settling  U-turning back to a beginning   I choose to challenge falsities and self-blame    I choose Life  With…

Unobstructed vision 1/7/2023

Clear, unmystified view of Lake Killarney lake   Cranes posed and slashing for minnows in the shallows   Daylit Moon shines acne scar crater   Lapping water polishing granules   Lilies anchored and resistant   Time dulls, or rends jagged edges shit. That's me

Across the Grain (HPNY) 1/1/23

A sigh of relief   Respite from disease   Sight and desire   Sunday afternoon showers  Shivering in the glacier melt A rush a blood- numbing to the head   Controlled contracted exhalation     Just a numbers game   Existence is only a game  Exclamation a newish year     In this barren womb of life  I will never be exhumed    Caught in…

A Rock

There is a time to be a rock     The black rook  allow the rain pour down, tear drops washing the edifice   A squirrely cardinal flew and shit on me  I am imobile whilst being a sundial   I am a temporary abode for red fox    Seeing the world past by but seldomly speaking   A silent watcher …

Mandala 1/6/2023

Mandala swirls and currents of my life  Rolling Riptide grasping my heel  The Now is the only Age of any practicum    When the tongue is loosened   Desire for freedom from tripping over hurdle predictions   And self-impediments   I behold that which resides within   Swaddling a warm embrace of surrender     and  self-acceptance    I fold and bend according …
