The Payload
"The Payload"
The payload
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly

it came crashing down
like school fish released
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

My Grandparents GardenFrom the age of three, I do remember,
The kitchen window, in mid December.
My grandma and grandad, would let me stand,
By the window to view, a garden so grand.

Love Letters Beneath the Moonlight - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker

The Sheep Before Christmas'Twas the night before Christmas and all were asleep,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a sheep.
The cattle were snoozing, the pigs were at rest
And the chickens were settled asleep on the nest.

Horses Are HeroesI've always admired
horses
and I guess I most surely
always will
No legend without em'

The unsung heroes of

which also reads just as right as
What is regenerative density?
to me
and perhaps to Bucky Fuller,
and then again Gregory Bateson's

in her memories,
she remembered
the stories told

the sleepy songs sung;

they were always
delivered in the dark,
as...

First there was only the void,
A deep well of nothing.

And that explosion was a primal scream....

I need stimulus, tried and true.
That lazy dog...

'let slip' reins dangling.
Peace, as they individually pursue
their individual endings.
Activity, a quorum and a ladder
gather them together,
a 'sale' sign erected...
