Long Narrower Poems

I suppose
cannibalism
is the logical conclusion
of rabidly overpopulated fascism.

Some cannibals,
perhaps all,
ate their human prey
not for typical nutritional reasons
like other forms of digested nature,
but more specifically
because those dining
hoped their prey's sacred powers
would thereby become their own,
conjoining for...

This time I woke, 
He was staring readily,
Smiling, plotting steadily

I lifted my body and gently gazed at his grotesque beauty
He was always at his best in thought…

“You look ravishing…” He began. 
“Mouth-parched, crusty-eyed, hair...

It should be harder,
and perhaps it could,
to not be known
and recognized
and to not find icons of and for gratitude
throughout my everyday.

The forbidden fruit
of Trees for Life and against Death
living in peaceful forests of Good and...

Life, 
Filled with complexities & complications 
Wider than the broadest imagination 
Narrower than the thinnest reality 
Sweet-sour 
Beautiful-"ugly" 
Tall-short 
Poor-rich 
Slim-fat 
Bitter-sweet........................ 
The unimaginable, unpredictable & unexpected are all in it 

Sometimes imagined & taught...

Deep in the forest was an inaccessible cliff
that soared high above the tall tree canopy.
People had wondered for years what lay beyond
yet the landscape was so inhospitable none dared
to try to reach the impassable cliff...

As I age
the formerly wide chasm between ecstasy and despair
grows narrower,
deeper.

I had not thought this an attribute of maturation,
quite the contrary,
but perhaps an aging crevice,
a thinning fracture
between played-out manic bliss, over-extended harvest,
and depression
nondually faces two...

I have noticed
all my daily educational journeys
begin with,
Where do I come from?
And how do I feel today
about my journey so far from yesterday?
Our journey so far,
and yet not far enough?

I come from living waters
as profoundly...

Under the velvet sky of night, where stars weave their magical web,

When your night seems longer than others
The cloud looks thicker than ever
The storm sounds stronger than others
When your way turns narrower than ever
The tides tends tedious than others
Remember He who calms the storm
Wait don't murmur

The pyramids are the triangular prims of the Egyptian desert,
monumental in height, and unsurpassable in endurance...
works of the hands of the whip-lashed Hebrew slaves;
no grief-striken faces were ever carved into them,
but those voices still recede...

She worships her western horizon
toward rippling river, sparkling, hinting of lightning pasts and futures.

Leonardo is wrong.
This seems unlikely, perhaps judgmental,
harsh,
even so, his God clearly reconstructed in his well-owned glorious image,
universal God of Creative Majestic Architecture.

But,...

It's almost 9 months,
me in this dark and tight bag.
Crouched were my knees,
and upside down, my torso.
I wanted to step out,
and this bag got narrower than ever.
Depression made me roll left and right,
I did try...

We travel through this world together, walking hand in hand.
Stepping into a crowded room, as one we promised to stand.
You and I try to act as one, as all our friends can see.

I feel like I lost you yesterday.

Perhaps I overstepped
Some as-yet unestablished boundary
between Trust
and MisTrust

Between winning cooperation
and losing fear and anger
competing trepidations,

Like we tripped
over a fuzzy
dis-establishing line,
Unarticulated landmine
I am still not explicitly aware of
where, exactly,
it lies

Square sensible head.

Gypsy moths in the corner

I saw one bearing Saint Peter's prayers 
the other day.

But he was burnt like the rest.

Dawn's, Softest Breaking Hours

Dusty, worn road where tall trees are made,
further ahead, within emerald forest crown,
Nature in its great wisdom creates a palisade
and softer beauty that rivals earth's starry gown!

A liberal mind for love
seeks Earth's nurturing nest origins
astoundingly opportune for producing healthy ego-nutritional eggs.

A conservative risk taker,
faced with ego's opportunity
to fly away from mortal risk
to autonomous long-term, or at least short-term, self survival
or fight...
