with toys from Santa's red sack
proof he got my letter

There’s a nip in the wind,
so into warmer clothes, I’ll change
the coming storm, they say, is a beast,
but rain won’t start, till after light;
all night, the rain will pour;
I must bring in the cat.

Storms terrorize my cat,
so do rattling windows, in the wind.
Around here, rains...

Tiny crocuses soon peep their purple heads
Above the lingering pale green foliage
In my upper yard's terraced flowering beds
Robins on my lawn will hungrily forage
Building their sturdy nests out of sticks and threads
Young folks are considering dates for marriage
Days when I open the windows for fresh...

Floating on life waters of which I drink too much
Whiffed on angel wings in arms that’s tranquil to the touch
Searching souls where chances of escape is very slim
And surviving equals staring in the eyes of reapers grim
Slashing strings and snatching as he cuts me down...

With temps in the nineties for four solid weeks,
and nary a raindrop forever it seems;
our outlook is bleak and to this our mood speaks
of these late summer months and their endless extremes
as the visions of autumn are filling our dreams. 

The ground is all cracked...

Legs slowly extend
moments push and bend
I sigh
must the morning end
as sun meets the skin
deep sigh
Eyes close once again 
sheets are folding in 
oh my


Fingers are tracing
a day in waiting
like this
air is exciting
lips are inviting
oh yes
Stay in my morning
anticipating 
such bliss

Here I wait not wanting to be alone
Looking forward to some time together
I call but you fail to pick up your phone

My spirits started light like a feather
Anticipating seeing a smile on your face
Looking forward to some time together

So here I sit looking out into...

electric abdominal sensation
pendulum’s cresting action…
gravity’s attraction...

I remember the anticipation of Christmas
Days passed so slowly as excitement filled the air
Practice for special Christmas pageants at church
Worrying that I might forget my part in the play,
Listening while plans were made for Christmas Day
While feeling that something could prevent a visit
From Santa. Lots...

2 days away from the woman of my dreams
It’s taking forever to get here or so it seems
I want to fast forward hurry up and make her mine
I want to see her beautiful eyes filled with sunshine
Her eyes drew me in reminding me of the...

behind the invisible and locked door Akashic records are re-
corded and monitored (lizards and limbic systems leak fluids) 
as druids sacrifice their lives for the harvest and hum…

the swelling cities ramble and babble
beneath sagging and aging wires
disintegrating and integrating 
into the impalpable web…boiling brains…

blackness eats...

Christmas is coming,

Jesus heaven's command brings:

-
Love one another!

Diversity explores
both resonant and opposing positions
with nearly predative anticipation

And such perversely curious
reverse revisioning diversity deplores 
with monoculturing anxiety
quietly crossed
and boldly violated boundaries
of personal
and familial
and municipal
and EarthTribal
indigenous integrity

Sacred space expands 
mindfully perceived
this Business As Traumatically Usual place
too lose/lose dark
and too win/win blind
to keep faith with dimming...

There must be a calm hidden with the darkest storm
Albeit hidden, well concealed not wanting to compromise 
As the air turns and twists beside my bed 
The earth trembles as lightning surges thru’ the air ... 
And strikes against my trembling breast
With no one around...

Without anticipating my actions
I step enter the fray
Using ever ounce of my will to eradicate the violence
Basing my principals on justice and equality
This Ive regained my trust in the future
Keep calm and alert I remain
Standing and walking without creeping
But understanding the world I weep...
