Transition
between spring and summer, Santa Monica and Laguna Beach
despair to laughter, classroom to Zoom
Pagan festival brings renewal cinema:
In honor of May Day
Climbing 2200 feet
Encircled by a bed of yellow wild flowers
Special bonfires kindled
Yellow May flowers summon an eject on Big Bend trail
Screaming flames
off-beat-dancing inside shoulder joint
Roaring numb sinking deep
Beneath the puncture wound
Rainbow bruises cook up
one sexy hip
bloody lemonade rocking the carry-on bag
Bathe in wizard of Opium and Tylenol
Restless nights sneaking up without Full Moon’s warning
First time, may not
be the last – your suffering called forth
my morning dews
A time
to pray: May Tim and Paula watch over their beloved son
Safe and sound
Pagan festival brings
return of passion and vitality, self-healing and silent harmony:
Waves of euphoria without safety net ^ exponentially
Detach why > how > what > where > when
Immeasurable bliss
Aura of delirious tenderness – yet fruitful
Inherent presence – raw and unprotected
Unspoken immersion in realm of whole heartedness
Take nothing
for granted – from a simple bike ride to shampooing hair in kitchen sink
to
wrestle with arm sling
There are no mistakes in this Universe
Take nothing
for granted – from chopping garlic cloves to a divine prayer
to
welcome home kisses
There are no mistakes in this Universe
Take nothing
for granted – from mending torn muscles to sew up a broken heart
to
sponge a wrecked body of Fluffy Bunny
There are no mistakes in this Universe
Take nothing
for granted – from birds chanting and porched eggs in the morning
to
wake up ’sleepyhead’
There are no mistakes in this Universe
Embarking upon this most sacred timeless unification
Pagan festival brings the new norm:
