On plants and trees and man...

My veins stood out in rictal mesh

My wits all scrambled left me quick

In seventeen seventy-seven,
amidst the deep summer’s August heat,
Barry St. Leger, loyalist milita,
and the Iroquois walked on sore feet.

meet Burgoyne and split the rebel states,
except the Americans in Fort...

Premium Member Mixing Politics and Religion
My grandfather
seemed wise with years
walking his rural spiritual path
in a relentlessly white
Christian dualistic church
dividing sinful nature
from sacred spirit.

He counseled:

I wonder
how he would feel
about this mix
of sacred and profane
if he were to...

Childhood naughtiness midst innocence-glow…
my special son exudes such with glad show
unmindful of “Mother’s Dos and Don’ts” blow
