Along whose banks the Ozarks Bluff Dwellers and the Osage and then Delaware
Hunted, fished, and created shelter
For their...

Progeny
Should we shed the boy and be a man?
Shoot of spirit wild -to be tamed in the tamed land.
Where is the proof that this cynical evolution;
this cyclical passthrough is a strengthened constitution.

Reverse Polarity
What if mind over matter became reality?
This would reverse the polarity,

The mind would become the vessel for the body.
The mind itself would look after and nurture

Wild Roots of September
In raw dawn I emerge
crow-thoughts
pecking skull-bone
black as plowed earth.
Farm-stench floods –
dung, hay and blood –
primal musk of life
and death intertwined.
Yet in this first breath
of day there’s a peace
and so stillness
rising from the land
like a satin...

She stretches her arms across your abyss,
so that she can covertly open your door.
She cries as she peeks into your eyes,
for you hold onto a grief that does not belong.

Treedom
Walking through the orchard
Amongst so many trees
Fruit lay on the ground rotting
The trees had a strange disease
They were lost in their apathy
No longer fruitful anymore
Sheltered in a land of beauty
On the Okanagan shore

His Perfect Love
Part 1
Two thousand years ago
In life’s darkness there was a gleam,
A Child in a virgin’s womb did grow,
It seemed an impossible dream,
Yet, with our Creator in control
Miracles occur every day,
And this birth of a perfect...

A Transplanted Life
Her fragile skin so very soft
disease has not yet stolen.
What too has robbed her insides
her strength's have interwoven.

new Life would be her solace.

May 14 Gaza Border
Evil is incremental
One bullet after another
And after another
And after another
Until there’s a blister
On my trigger finger
Where there used to be a wet print
Of a little kiss
Transplanted to my little girl’s cheek
Before I left for work
