I will not apologize for wearing 
wires pregnant for the Fbi buying 
weapons and drugs from corruption 
and taking down gang leaders who 
migrated to Wisconsin under queen 
pin cocaine heroin hard drugs

In the beginning after God had finished creating this land.    
Satan boldly challenged the heavens for the absolute control of man.

He watered the...

St. Francis prayed for politically active 
nonreactive empowerment
through serenity to change what we can,
and to walk away,
without loser disgust
but with winning acceptance
for what we cannot systemically 
resiliently
internationally change
into a healthier wealthier climate 
(yet).

St. Francis further...

In Elysian Heights, Room 8 stands strong, 
as a blessed place for a furlong purrloin whisk-along a ride-along comforting face,

very short, abridged, edited, small version.

There was a cave, deep within the hills
Of St Francis
A seedling traveled by the black crow
And was dropped on the wings of a dove
Only to tumble tumble, down, earthenly bound

Happy Tears

	To my dear son Louis, with love

It's about midnight, and outside darkness blankets ev'rything.
There was an elephant sitting,
On my chest, abundant pain and sweating,
Grasp for breath, I chewed down some aspirins.

911, ambulance at the...

St. Francis, St. Francis,
Saint of caged animals,
"Lock down" at 3...
Then supper and tea...

But there must be no caffeine,
And no coffee at all...
Staff fearing us nut-jobs,
But it wasn't our call...
And we were told,
Why we're alllowed no...

He has a Roman nose, bright eyes, flashy teeth,
Chocolate brown complexion,
Features which animate only when he interacts—
Otherwise, typical unscholarly looks!
A nonconformist in religion, a revolutionary in spirit,
A stoic in practice—
Epithets can be multiplied.

Sought strange experiences:

Dear St. Francis,

In a recent dialogue with a close friend, I became aware during the conversation that I made a statement  that was misunderstood. I allowed it to remain that way, not pursuing a...

A leap across the hill-top,
Is an encounter with God.
Concealed in the language of history
The depth of human religiosity.

It rings true for me though
Those stories of Francis of Assisi.
Surely, striking the hallmarks of simplicity
In quietude where...

BRITISH POLITICS



I did well not to get involved with politics;
I saw through local councillors
With their holiday homes in the Highlands.
I gave New Labour the slip and went canvassing
For the Love Spirit.
Like Big Ben, I looked...

We first hailed London, quite a trip,
of London Bridge and “fish and chips”.
Our stay there was hardly over
and suddenly there we were in Dover
waiting at the white cliffs to marvel,
to assimilate, digest and unravel.

Having thoroughly...

I left out riding my bike down 
first street over looking the 
wildly calm river artist's lined 
bicentennial entrance way where 
Thomas Edison Rockefeller
 
and Ford feasted on clams

“Cannot be named
Cannot be found,”
For in this effort--this person
Into non-Tao becomes wound.
The Tao was before time’s beginning.
The Tao is not found in complex systems,
But is revealed by listening to the heart,
To the oneness of all...

Alone I revel in nature’s splendor
Biding my time without daily worries intruding 
Can I remain here forever?
Daydreams assure me I may
Even though time seems to stand still
For I am at peace

For a Taoist,
rivers and their valleys
are iconic 
ecowomanist yintegrity,

Yet St. Francis feels rivers,
but probably not their embracing valleys,
as Brothers.

As the River running through my backdoor life
flows from northern right
downstream to southern left,
I remain nondualistically of...
