Many starry nights I lay
in my wooden cabin next to your 
sanctuary waiting for whisperings
from your past, wisdom words

I wrote odes about a...

O! Ferocious temptress of the land, sea and air.
Spread not thy leathery wings in fancy flights.
From the generic evolution, into future clones.
Lust raptures into unknown worlds of imagination.
		
Amazon warrior of deadly desires,
Hold my sword, it...

(Only fellow hose-heads will understand this)

In the dream
friends from long ago in a strange bar
gently push me back
saying that they have colds
and wouldn't want to infect me
I am wearing a mask for breathing
it supplies air...

The Feather of Love:
I aired a stray feather to see it flying;
I gazed it flowing in the wind;
I loved its whitish tone;
I loved the natural print upon.
I don’t know how it managed to come back,
How...

imagination Band Aids some call them

I know
you just do
fingers wrapped ‘round cold steel
it's then

like playing marbles
tripod-cradled taws and steelies
"Bombers" "Pots"
"shooters" all
aim straight
roll in the...

Rooster crackled, fresh new day!
Sun arose planting gentle kiss
on the Earth's fore-head....
A cottage in the woods stood elegant
Lilted the cool breeze outside so pleasant!
Woke her child this mother, filled with zest
A long embroidered...

‘Twas in another century
On a desolate, dreary day 
When something red from skies above
Wafted into the land of gray.

It slowly drifted in the sky,
Then lit on the head of a boy.
For reasons that are unexplained,
It...

It was nine degrees out all was frozen
Not much better inside for commode water
Icy crystals formed not what we'd chosen 
Shaking at fireplace's front, stood our daughter
On top of the hearth wasn't any better

Morning glory _
From our car
Along the hilly path 
Numerous they're 
With the attention 
of doing math 
In their voice 
A guitar 
Colorful headgear 
Off and on 
mutual whispers 
The Tea Pluckers 

Mingled with the green 
Humming and plucking 
Unique discipline 
Never a machine 
Sometimes carrying 
their babies on their backs
While...

Then you know just what I mean.

From wild and wacky to sedate,
The headgear called attention;
Most were classy - stylish, too,
And some defied...

VIRTUAL REALITY

i just might fall,
the mighty heights feel real.
i’m blind to all that lies
beyond my sight,
though i hear voices in my head.

this reality’s gotten a little stranger.
plush grass tickles my bare feet.
i sit on a...

Above my head, foliage, and feathers clatter
as a hawk tangles with a squirrel.
Above my head, Russian tanks pop their tops
in boggling bubbles.

Just above a bald patch, shaggy clouds squat to piddle.
I am heads above those...
