FOUNDATION

“...we achieve true wholeness
by embracing our fragility...”

Jalaja Bonheim


FOUNDATION

i had
no script

no actors

no stage

instead let me direct this life

my life

stage the words

add a subtle dramatic  tone
with fragility

once the foundation is built

 i'll work on emotional recall

work in the layers

does it sing

does it dance

does it make you...

Sex is just the icing, 
Isn’t the whole package,
So much more enticing.  
But problems do arise 
When all the baggage arrives 
Into play.  It is better if all is 
Laid to rest but that is 
The ultimate test.  At times
It can be...

You’re beautiful 
You’re strong
You’re confident 
You’re amazing 
You’re wonderful
You’re courageous 
You’re loving
You’re kind

I speak these words into existence in my life
and watch them manifest.
Because there was a time not long ago that I 
didn’t believe in myself, I didn't feel worthy to 
associate myself with...

Water iced over,
trapped beneath... a treasure trove,
fishermen's delight....

The Pelican flew 
Right, quick turn left.. icing on
The windshield.. gracious...

The twin blasts and 
lip-syncing was 
no insane coincidence.
The travail of incredible sinking 
will never be found.

The abstract family 
and myriad remixing of stem cells
may solve the puzzle of
assured suicide of the earth.
The small rapes and big assaults ?

A crazy progenitor wanted 
to have a...

 ICING ON THE CAKE

Mountains, valleys, rivers and trees
Flowers, sunsets, birds and bees

Sunlight, moonlight, stars and sky
Creeks and streams that gurgle by

Rainbows, waterfalls, colorful leaves
Plants, animals and the big blue seas

Butterflies, dragonflies, prairies and lakes
All add to the icing on this cake !...

my love;
last night
while you drifted
curled within my arms
my thoughts grew
full-bloom, beneath the moon.

on white sand
we melted together
into passion's splash
like dripping candles
atop birthday cake

and i wished
you awake!

ice crystals form here
softening the rainbow’s ends

Silvery white, thick fog icing
All trees, road, can't see far
Great veil disguise for deer to roam
Reveals where spider webs are

Inside familiar folds of my hanging apron
I encounter a blinkless miniature figurine
Glossy, posable, plastic as a Lego creation
Loyal component of kitchen enforces routine 

Breakfast allures with buttery muffins toasted
Lunch- a- lot predicts sandwich towers teetering
Dinner calls for lavish legs of livestock roasted
Day which follows knows...

Enticing Icing and Pricing

We were inspired by the great icing,
That had been attractive and enticing;
We wanted to buy;
Take home and try,
Until we saw what it cost and pricing.

One last thing, middle thing, or first thing before I go
No matter which direction, love always follows
There's no competition
It's not just tradition
It's what it's all about, it's icing on the gateau...

I always shun the cake,
With too much icing,
Unless I have witnessed the bake.

I always distance myself from a cake,
That has too much frosting,
And I find it hard see the actual cake.

So, it is with me and bureaucracy,
When I see too many layers,
And little transparency....

The crisp coolness of Autumn inhabits my birthday.
Candy corn and pumpkins have sprung up.
The cell phone rings off the hook —
well at least while I was working.

Suitcases have been swept clean
as indelible leaves of Maple red 
find their resting spots in my mind,
along with the...
