Blues Boating HomeHuman history is difficult;
hard pressed,

and reconnecting feelings
about therapeutic needs
and sacred wants
for trauma-prevention peace
trust
joy
Through co-empathic singing passions
which may,
too often,
feel stressful

It's trynna creep

that survival of most fitted and dense
implies manifest destiny for those YangStrong
while Darwin's Cross and his own eyes
clearly disguised
camouflaged ectosymbiotic...

Waters and SkiesI.
You can always tell by the eyes
When they’re starting to go
You’ll fall for a few of their lies
Before you begin to know
And you will just defy it
(But they know you will never go)
They’ll glide through...

The Screaming Souls of a Soundless ForestI romanticize the single room without a jurisdiction
If only I could filter through a voice of logic over reaction
Would it impel my inner child to regress into an illusion?
My mind composes a structure but...

Faith equals Wait plus Trust1
Sunrise, late winter
skunk smell
turkey flock
playful otter, too.
The white heron
a great blue,
white phase,
in the abandoned beaver pond.
Purple clematis
its long-awned achenes
in globose heads
spidery, fiery, extravagant fruit!
To identify or classify
birds by
the complexity or beauty
of their songs.
And so
what is...

Autumn's sinking sun,
barred by spindle trees and the last
of summer's brindled reeds
and sedge and rush that fringe this stilling pond.

Damp leaves hide...

Birthing the Vortex
"Birthing the Vortex"

They have been drifting for many days,
entranced with panic,...

In Love With a Nerd1. Too fired up
he exaggerates every niggle
and squashes every chance to assuage our boils.
He acts without a lode star
putting everything under weigh
and exhibiting ignorance with flames of literacy.
Reading without play decorates stupidity
I play the cheap...
