Southern Icarus

unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace,
you climb, skittish kite...

Memories In Our Minds As Bodies
I remember my mindbody would tense
sometimes
then relax into confusion
while non-consiliently reading Bucky Fuller's "Synergetics 2."
I also remember,
and too often reweave,
Fuller's stream of thought ecoconsciousness
as I read Beck and Cowan on the well-timed subject

The Hero - Monomyth
(Dedication: For Ann)

A call that tints, a choice appears.

The Dissolving Heart
“The Dissolving Heart”
