Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 37
I heard two distinct voices in the night,
Conversing amongst themselves most eagerly
They whispered like children in excitement
Their sardonic mouths sung many savvy tunes
It was Death I could perceive, defending me,
And he, a strange, distant friend
Seemed...

Good Journeys
I have heard many moms repeat
"You never stop being a parent."
Sadly, I don't see or hear that quite so much from the dads,
although I know of remarkably nurturing exceptions.
I thought of this as my impossibly...

Resurrection Machine
In the purple shadows of the black's monoliths, where an ancient echo calls forth, at the blurry forge of "Ralkon Dis",
a salient dragon from mystery's petra cliffs drifts you...

As Go the Hours, the Days, the Years
1.
I remember 20:
Aflame with ideas and visions,
A mind unfettered by necessity's constraints,
Spirit open to everything -
Tomorrow held no fears,
Yesterday no regrets;
There was only day following day,
Each new with something to give,
Each corner I turned
Led...

Let It Be Then
Yesterday brought not a storm,
But a suffocating stillness.
Everything stopped.
My throat grew dry.
My bones began to ache.
The silent but constant rhythm of my little world seized.
Everything stopped.
Then in exactly...

The Glitch in the Grid
The telescreens hummed their endless drone,
A symphony of truth alone,
Dictated, printed, beamed so wide,
Where independent thought had died.
Newspeak choked the rebel tongue,
And every sunrise sadly sung
The praises of the...

Humid Thermos
I see us
cowering within
our safety walls
of sterile
nonorganic comfort
I feel us,
almost smell us,
struggling
vacillating between pungent stink
of fear inside
and acrid
acidic anger
about life sucks outside
Emerging toward viral hate
directed against entitled Others
unwelcomed emoting immigrants
encroaching on our safe home space
It...

Notchosen Stories
What are these days of mourning stories
I choose not to tell about myself,
my emotion-driven journeys
to windy hot imagined future
and remembered warm wet green
and impossibly resilient blue past
pre-historic paradise,
before people
and our mosquito
and cockroach
and locust
and indoor rats...

Weaving Protest Songs and Dances
Robin Wall Kimmerer,
in Braiding Sweetgrass,
describes the first three woven rows
in process of making an ash basket.
The first Yang row of ecological root structure
is most impossibly conflicted
between extreme tensions up and down.
Weaving Yang-dominant is more of...

YESHUA
His name was Yeshua, the legitimate, not immaculate,
scion of a young Jewish couple named Miriam and Yosef and surely
a brown-haired, brown-eyed Middle-Eastern man, sun-bathed and beige,

She Saved Her Best For Last
She'd been raised to despise them, and despise them she did
The Orthodox, be they modern or old-fashioned, and the Chassidim
She'd grown up loathing their Sabbath and their dietary restrictions
Their clinging to...

It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town;

Reflection In Depression
A dreamer, words on the page.
Perhaps I am the empty book,
Pages begging to be written on,
A chapter is coming, but here we are,
Change and travel on the way.
Fear of the change is slowly
Replaced by the...

Breathe in, breathe out, start typing

Get It All Backwards, Part Ii
...The man nodded a bit, taking it in,
then absently stroked the beard on his chin,
said,”Everyone wants hat they think they deserve,
I can’t help but think you got it backwards.
