Long Morels Poems

Kitchen counters alive; the vivid colors of red, green, purple and yellow glass jars. Your garden flourished.
.
Pickled beets mingle boiled eggs; a pretty periwinkle purple.
.
Yellow and purple tinted fingers; dandelions and elderberries distilling; musty aroma...

The awakening

there are ways of speaking into a mental state
where others feel life as a general meaning
retrieving conceiving
others achieving
inadequate morels
urgency to generate concepts
general liaisons
ignore others intuition to rise to another edition
traveling to other places
faces and...

My whole life waits, just this moment, the ink still

wet; for sunrise this clear May morning.

My shaman up already,
hair askance, dancing and trilling his flute
to the crescent moon face,
lit by the blue iron square welcoming
the...

O mycorrhiza, nature’s internet
This internet keeps everything alive 
Beats out anything Humans thought as yet
 The natural world around it does thrive

Trees struck by lightning or rotting away
The  Net sends signals to the biosphere

We faeries were a twitter for our houses were under attack in the crags.
Giant hunters had been capturing them, shoving them into bags.
Heard scared faeries screaming for help as they were carted off sore.
Mushrooms, toadstools,...

Is life valuable or not.
When or how do we put this black on black violence to a stop.
Waking up every morning just to hear 3 more have been shot.

What is wrong with you people.

A sure shot, he sets up a can, and digs his heels in the sand,
with feet spread, a hat on his head and gun in hand, he looks grand.
Cloudy skies shade the sun from his...

Hey Hey Hey Hey

 
Come Listen to what I say.


Listen to my Cacophony of truths that burns even the roots of foundation.
From our Nations Heart we wish for a different part.
 

Let's give this a...

On a damp Sunday, where the grass and earth 
Call my name, out from the tangle of covers 
On the humid wind, the forest beckons 
With her arms of fallen leaves, twigs
Ferns uncurl 

My heart...

Under the tower of confiner sisters,
Where the pine needles slide down the breeze,
Spiders become trapeze artists,
While ferns spread their wings,
The midnight rain forms into morels,
Playing hide and seek under the sticks,
Trails leading to empty shells,
From...

Maybe, if everyone behaves themselves,
If the snowpack is deep and thick around elm and maple,
And the tourists didn't stay away for lack of snow.
If the temperatures stay cold at night, and warm in the day,
So...

I meander my way through the hills, noting the pretty violets.
Their daintiness delights me, so I sit, trying not to crush any.
An impossible task. While I am down here, I notice the morels.
My hand reaches...

Amazon sent us a hundred and seventeen dollars’ worth of vitamins
For women over fifty; which I most certainly am.
I took them yesterday, and they perked me up.
I thought I was already perky, but I was...

Why did I let him back into my life
When I know it will cause only pain, tears and strife

Perhaps I’m afraid I’ll never have another
Man so attentive as this sexy Latin lover

He blows into town...

Praying for peace, we ask for God's blessing,
for Man's need has never been so pressing.
Inhumanity is on the increase,
we ask for God's blessing, praying for peace.

Devastated by war, cities crumble,
despots parade, and the injured stumble.
People...

Soft sands caress my feet, a comforting touch,
The waves crash ashore, in ways I love so much,
Washing my footprints away, leaving no trace.
The beach cleanses its face with its embrace.

As the waves run out they...

Wild as ivy vines climbing up pines, 
in the outskirts of nature 
where mountain lions purr,
my lungs expand like the open land.
Breathing in peace, as rippling as a creek,
watching an eagle snatch up salmon,
I witness...

Oh, the air’s a little fresher
When we feel that new spring breeze;
And the sun’s a little brighter
When the dogwood paints the trees.

And the redbud comes a blushing
On those ancient Ozark hills;
As we now hunt those...

"Every day I have questions,
As to why things happen

How does the robin know,
To sing 15 minutes before the sun shows

What triggers bulbs to sprout,
Or why crocuses are the first to come out

Why do some lilies...

'Dinner won't be long, Dear.'

Burt puffed up his pillows and squeezed one out.

'Better wash your hands, now'.

The armchair smothered his glee.

Wallaby faggots, 

Brown rice juices,

Lentils,

Barley and rye.



Jumbo  morels,

Whatever she sells,

Liquid fish stock,

Brussels and hock,

Tranches...

Soft silk
chiffons bare legs crossed,
pressed white linen
hangs cornered over,
hiding black heels
vacated.

Candle flickers in soft sigh
as silver rimmed plates
are masterfully set
at right angles.

Aroma gently tantalizes,
stroking attentive faces
into anticipation.

Delicate amber curls
of carrot crafted into art,
tulle blushing beet...

another today

I will fill my hours
chock full of silliness.
paint my face
clown red with big 
peering eyes that 
see all that is serious
making me delirious.

I walk into the 
forest as far as I am able,
my lunch...

Dreams,

There you were again
in front of me, or was it behind
pressing in, I pressing back
no drifting off this time
we were still but still not still

I stirred, you drank
we bled, then sank
me into to you
a kaleidescope...
