The breeze. It felt hot and old. It shivered in the curtains that lined the walls on both sides.

Populist Politics
When I was sixteen
I wanted Robert Kennedy's life,
although I didn't know about his time squandered
in staffing McCarthyism's
Make America as Grotesque as Possible campaign,
Which would have given me pause
in that comparatively naive age
of green longing for...

Pine sap pipe
In the deep spiked pine forests
On a walk you forgot you took
Snow up your knees
Twenty feet away
An enormous old house
Not abandoned, smoke from the chimney
Large windows, dark wood walls
A forest castle here for you
To explore...

Woke up this morning
on the wrong side of the tracks.
Left out leaving for all the right reasons
and all the wrong facts.
Caught a ride with a traveling preacher
in a beat up van.

The Days of COVID and Roses 2020

A people, happy~ not possessed with dearth.
Depravity, destruction of cities, murder by injection,
Became a way of our lives!
Then~ an evil being and his unkind, infected mind!
With full knowledge, arrogant,...

You say all lives matter
Bringing up all these colors
Like red, white, orange, and blue

Hunting Health and Beauty
Nature hunts health
to heal those and that hunted.
Spirit healths those and that haunted
by haunting those and that unhealed.
Human nature incarnates this universal search
of why and why not health,
healing,
nurturing confluent intimacy,
lover as content of...

Light Powers
Lately,
I too often experience
anger begets anger
to also remember
love begets love.
