Let Us Speak ClearlyLet me speak clearly with you
dear religious and atheist Trumpians,
A fool in executive office
is a leader
only in foolish directions.
A rich thief

as survival motives
are absent,
so self-thrival motives
remain piratically rampant.

The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles

Comedy of Impeaching ErrorsThe Republican congressmen,
and I do mean white privileged straight men,
came to their Democratic opposition
concerned about how depressing
December can be,
and all of winter,
come to think and feel
of dark discerning Advent,
So maybe we could stage

Engaging the Family LaundryPerhaps infertile
incomplete
unwashed memories
of elder v younger,
Goliath v David,
crusades v communion
critical, yet part of chronic, events
speak extended family disengagement truth
to powerful dirty laundry engagement failures.
That disclaimer said,
I have two incomplete conversations
in mind and heart
and what I...

The God Complex
“The God Complex”
His face imprinted
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words
like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages

whispering notes,
holding keys

and, especially under climates of crisis,
competitively smaller, too...

Conspiring MusesI've heard about non-violent communication

So this is probably all wrong
that I'm not owning my conspiring dissonant...

Healing ProjectsI had two big projects
from 1970 to 1975,
The first,

The Monroe MoonIn glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive

unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns

Ben Franklin and SonIt was not yet noon
when Ben said

Early to rise
Makes a man,
and perhaps women and children more...
