Frostbitten Heartstrings and Drunken Truths

My eyes couldn’t help 
But wander 
And smile at every passing inch 

Aimlessly following the walls 
And your voice 
Throughout the house you lay your head at night 

It was cozy 
Decorated delicately 
In memories...

Therapeutic Climate

EarthMother grows impatient,
despite her curiosity driven
cooperative inviting polyculture
reconnection with SunFather's Great White
monotheistic climate
of Patriarchal-Capitalist classroom activity
RightHand saluting
salutary competitions.

Your historic move,
S/He dissonantly
defiantly intones,
from sacred polytheistic peak experiences,
inherently dipolar co-arising,
not monotheistic judgments
punishing bipolar sick people
for manic/depressive original...

Another Poetry Festival

Another poetry reading.
I arrive late and drop my phone in a workshop.

I capriciously retrieve it and slink to the corner,
My notebook and pen
Poised and ready
For my muse to be resurrected after
A long hibernation.

Weeping Ash Ballad

Weeping Ash
Mourn for me tonight, Weeping Ash;
Break my heart and all my hopes crash.
Let your gnarled knuckles crack and creak;
Let your contorted mouth still shriek
Silently. 

Come under my dark canopy
In the storm’s hidden harmony.
My dancing...

I put to words from pen and keyboard what matters most in time
and seek a buoy a float some flotsam dejected towards the storm

Over the tumultuous high sea in dismal night   
The pole star may disappear out of sight 
Behind the shroud of the tempest cloud 
The home-bound agonized sailor
You lose the sense of direction in...

Once when that black ice cloud confined me again
Penetrating mind and heart, freezing all aspiration
Taking me below resentment fear or pain
To a hopeless state of dull weary enervation

I heard a voice that transformed my...

Transcendence Divine

Wondrously divine in its transcendence
God’s love* affirms kindness of providence
Radiating tender mercy’s resplendence
Defying any counter evidence….
My heart does claim with grateful confidence. 

Marked by compassionate condescendence
Christ’s love is offered with heaven’s credence
Midst His sacrifice against...
