Subversive Valentines Day
Once I had a girlfriend and ex-wife.
Two ladies at the same time in life,
Mistake I made this day.
Not proud in anyway.
First mistake, second retake in strife,

Girlfriend I gave flowers for the day.
Ex-wife and I married, oui evay,
Messed up my life again,
Not knowing where I’d been.
Girlfriend...

"Subversive"



That woman -

she isn’t me


she 
(small s)
watches me
silently
with hatred 
of what
light and darkness is
unknown of me 
burns in her belly
bends her knees
To the world, 
all seems aglow
She, prescient? 
an anagram, 
1 high above 
1 buried below

she is neither one
nor the other
1 high above 
1 buried...

Wildness

lakes
ponds
swamps of wildness
for quiet forms of song and Earth dance.

Dance
moving to louder voices of climate pathology
and landscape erosion
decomposition of...

It cannot really be too smart 
even if it knows your last cart;
A.I’s subversive,
just write in cursive;
Computers won’t know where to start....

Change Is Coming
I met a woman fleeing from the triad.
Crossing on a ferry, far from her home
She told me of the life she once had.
In Bosphorus, struggling to hold on. 

Her hair was wrapped in a headscarf. 
Dreamed about the changes coming. 
with a shy smile and...

Pillar of Salt and Wisdom
As Lot and his wife
Left the city of Sodom
Where gnosis flourished
His wife heard Yaldabaoth’s wrath
As the two lands burned
Hearing the children crying
Her heart made blood tears
It ripped from top to bottom
Hearing the calm call
Of gnosis singing with joy
Her soul remembered
She looked back with a quick...
