Long Geographic Poems

One day not so long ago 
I walked
Never alone
For the world 
Is always my home

It was a late
Spring snow

In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
No...

I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,

after screaming headlines report one after another atrocity.

How did the human species manage to survive
with many means
of self destruction at their disposal?

From the burgundy sofa where he lives most days
Free of things like water bills and car payments
He lies down to eat and drag slowly on a cigarette

Spiritual Communion is about Agape,
about Sacred CoEmpathy
about Yin’s Love,
which is Erotic Yang fertility Love of deeply dense nutrition,
but disembodied,
implicate (David Bohm)
concave rather than convex (Buckminster Fuller).

So YangLove is to Bodies

How can geographic points for interaction
and socializing become haram?
Catching up with the flying time
and constant upgrade in civilization process;
these too are also haram?

Is seeking knowledge and applying
understanding haram too?
Funny enough, a particular 'god'

Clans, Ilks and Tartans

Woven into threads of red and black,
Girded by grids of white,
Distant plaintive bagpipe memories
Of sunset over Kilmaurs –
A crest that bears a unicorn
Touches royal roots
As a poet’s tribute to a patron lost
Watches...

Wondering through a labyrinth of sighs 
More platitudes with attitudes that never question why

Today there was no electricity
So I slept off the day
Most of the nights past had been so long

Went into my past
