this seasonal polymath teached you 
fall Equinox...

The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie

brought a spate of cool Autumn like
temperatures and gentle soothing rain
here within my neck of the woods
for the last couple of days.

something that doesn’t speak out loud
at parties, but creeps across the fine 
dinner table,
through glances, faint touches,
laughs & intentional momentary stares &
changes in the tone of one’s voice,
when s/he makes eye contact,
letting one know that...

"The Upper Room"
 


When time expanded
the heart opened -
the mind, like a shell,
spoke like a wheel 
turning 
the sum of all
towards the central core

the next number
in the sequence
is the sum 
of the two before it

It’s autumn time in America,
the colors are changing ...
(it’s alt right to gasp in whited disbelief)
as poplar majority, quaking Aspen leaves
slowly fall off 
the John Birch branches

Minority bad weather report

that the...

A VISION
--------
The raw reflection, she is
The silent mirror of my soul
Who in her stillness channels deep 
The sour secrets that stain
The dying hopes that drain
The heart of their keeper

Her dreamer's dream, like dice
Enfold in the...

The life I’ve lived within these recent days
Beyond my measure I’ve been trying my time
Striving the life I long of sublime

I’ve reached too far, beyond my grasp
Out into...

They demean your value and destroy your image,
utter wild cries like creatures in pain,
their expressions change with the rapidity of a kaleidoscope,
faces change with each turn of their talk,

All I can say is, "O' boy, Wee!"

Floating down the river, where are we going
Staring at the sunlight never knowing

Taking us still further through the leafy glade

Sniper hid vapors
tend to always bullet strike
with stealth air carrier accuracy

Silent noxious assault
pierced the nostrils
with oxy painful inhalation,
of the non-ventilated third degree 

Deadly gaseous arrows

and killed a-many healthy appetites,
with an...

on a cheek that is so cold

A day spent at the stream

With Moondust

Infinities

And beyond

We will come back to the stream

 

To see a star

In its’ liquidity

In its’ depths

Of my heart

With Moondust

By the stream

 

Starry glimpses

Of futures’ laid

To travel

In many ways

Through streams

Through...

In the clear sunny morn I...

seeing only the limitation through working laws.
The call to those whose hour has come to awake,
and lullabies to those who do not want to face the ache.
