and learned WhiteRacist
from Dad

Possibly opioid addiction
but certainly something
in growing families
of yin-suppressed
self-medicating
LeftBrain too dominant
addictions
to chemical acclimations.
Dad left by death
Tyrant's also addicted
and chronically depressed mother
And his only white racist

Who Am I
recognition of our true constitution reveals
we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which...

Barney's Song
As I awake this morning
I remember a Barney song
for my more oppositionally misaligned daughter.
I love you
and you love me
even if I couldn't realign my four B's,
Brain,
and Branches,
and Belly,
and Butt,
these four aligned
good government.
If you...

Mirror Man
I'm making pipe bombs out of all the
momentum you stole from me.
All the skipped heartbeats. All the hesitation-
potential energy. You made me unsure of what
it meant to be, worthy.
I'm stockpiling...

Lead Us From Darkness To Light
In the beginning, all that was, was living light eternal
Vibrant in time and space dissolved ineffable peace
Pulsating endlessly in a singularity transcendental
Sans identity, with no attribute, we were and still are
One without a second,...

Lo and Behold
Predictions work in twists of what makes life workable
High and often misconstrued by the dogma of science
Lies and damned lies and statistics for the insecure
Foes foretold surprise when the blindfolds shed masks
In the light of...

Along With The Thunder
Along with the Thunder
came Tempestas, goddess of storms
turtle doves scattered on
corrugated roof, grey feathers flying when glimpsing her fierce amber countenance
this is time of rattling cracked panes
loose screws
when weather ruled, seemingly profane
warmonger...

We are here
In this mind body
Endowed
With senses five
Having polarities
Out of which
The inner is...

The White Privilege
A cherished childhood spent cocooned in my inward-looking community,
Protected me from the indoctrination of a white-privileged history.
But when I stepped into a world where brown was under-represented
My identity…Was molested.
My speech, skin, hair and dress, seemed...

I felt ashamed when I realized that, in fact,
Life is a masquerade party, where I stood without a mask,
I wandered with my uncovered face beneath the chandeliers,
Among specters and shadows hiding their secrets under false...

The Last Wish
I spoke with truth — no veil, no guise,
No games behind another’s eyes.
No shadows cast, no whispered name,
Just open words, without the blame.
A fleeting glimpse, a passing grace,
One moment time cannot erase.
No reply, no echo...

The Lyric Man
The Lyrical man of passion’s sacred song,
Gave his heart away to the Caribbean Queen,
In the fine crystal glasses of fine champion of desires lust,
Did he so drown, beneath the frothy waves of the tropical sun?

Slides and Stairways
Somewhere in the pretty petty imaginary illusion of delusion
There lies a truth an edifice of search between obtuse confusion
Windows like brick walls and concrete blocks birthing the light
Nails to be nailed screws to be screwed...

Ashtavakra Gita Verse 13:2
13.2
“The body is strained by practices
The tongue tires of scripture
The mind numbs with meditation
Detached from all this,
I live as I am”
The matrix of in-form body consciousness
Employs limited bandwidths of vibration
Perceiving with defective awareness
Interpreting in...

Misaligned Ratios of Chance
I believe I can visualize a bird and a tree.
This is something I could describe as poetry.
As yet, allow your inner poem to flow freely.
It offers a firm base on which to uplift deeply.

consciousness soon hypnotised amidst myriad desires
head and heart misaligned, fierce rivals for attention
delusion that we are only mind body doomed to die
causing fearful anxiety, objects of desire vanishing

Invested
A peeping eye, like pendulum, swinging through the keyhole.
Just to pass the time.
It's a curious thing.
Flicks transfixed betwixed the clicks of the ticks of the clock as it shifts.
What is it seeking?
Is it trying to...
