Long Ejects Poems

What could I do? 

What to do
when your biological,
and even formerly sober ecological,
relationships suddenly veer insanely romantic?

Or worse,
mistrustful
and yet
not always distrustful,
or not,
maybe deeper sadness
and occasional manic gladness
emerging inclusively wider questions

Tonight the act of naming fell through the floor.
We speak permeable solids inflect’d by light.
Things move indistinctly: a pine palette floats
momentarily from semi truck’s bed, crosses
its body with windshield; ovidian shift from a
Forest to an...

A filter that selects and connects,
   the world as it varies,
with all its cues and views?

A season – Ages ago

Ages ago, many a seed had been planted.
Their blossoming brings, being taken for granted,
never seen, acknowledged or appreciated.
As gardeners, sowers of, we are fated
to pay an intolerable, unbearable price
for all, all...

Mindful  

Startled out of nonchalant light,
Wakefulness stands at attention
Ignited flame from the eternal candle,
Energized vigil of the watchman
At the soul’s dawning daybreak
Tingling in the presence
Of every dappled infinite breath.

Rotating eye of illumination
Watchful, like a...

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...

Mighty flowers shake above the quake
Children run for cover under clouds of ash
Burnt down houses driven off by lava flow
The volcano makes a path
That other world we know

Sometimes survival is based on luck
Lightning bolts hardly...

From the glimpses I received to your soul

To be lost in your dream forever my dream
Drawn to your pivot like a charged magnet

The only time...

Language is the water of the universe:
"I love u" is both true and untrue
Just as water kills and saves, freezes and flows
God speaks : "I LOVE" unfolding Creation
We speak: "I LOVE u" and create "the...

Up,but Down…Part-1

This bus old as this rutted road
Panting to haul its sweaty load
Moves along the steep gradient
Of these hills stoutly determined

Raising to heights which although small
Are far like aeons  beyond recall
To the place men...

pot seeds down the drain
what kind of life force sustained?

mutant monsters with long hair
sleezy & greezy and they don’t care

growing their sewer dope
their purpose, their only hope

started with a few rejects

Before you draw feet far for other
Want to wash feet from my blood

Then your heart will...

Sometimes death lives for eternity,
a captive of silence,
or in hidden journey to flesh;
unless the body betrays the falling stars from eyes.

Dying was an appropriate thing
a festival of freedom for veils,
to leave you alone with your...

Thirst within grows, seeking the light
Of what use are eyes, without sight
Unseeking heart is radiant
At all times, joyous and content
Throbbing in rapture, day and night

Teleported thus to new found heights
From where presence does not alight
