Son Say Goodnight To Grandpa
“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”

by a thin membrane
electromagnetic
we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own
frequency
existing to be lit
the fuses touching
reaching delicately
that which we do
and do not see,

Gratitude For Truth As Beauty
Why is it that gratitude
for peak response to truth with beauty
multiculturally embraces Positive Psychology's
mental health,
humane respect
for life's naturally pleasant graces?
Yet sapient sacred trust
in Earth's impassioned beauty spaces
remains spiritually unexplored,
under-mined Truth,
anemically practiced compassion

Those Who Listen
If we,

against formerly extended cooperative family farmlands
and forests;

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 12
His words stung me, as the cries from the maelstrom seem to retort
Their scattered, foreign words and wails retching their say
I listened, almost mesmerized,
Pulverized

With threatening authority
Upwards, higher than the balcony from which we...
