Listening For Firestorms
Always respect this combination of fire and wind,
she tentatively said,
after having listened for healthy and pathological winds
regenerating and degenerating,
investing in and divesting of,
yeasty flames of fertile dopamine.
They, like you,
co-arise of and from the landscapes
in which...

An Anxiously Anticipated Event
Dear John,
All day
yesterday
I loaded up with a cascading river
of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,
transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;
Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
felt depressions...

Postmillennial Virus
What remains
when gratitude for learning
totally evaporates?
I don't know...
Totalitarian senility, maybe?
I guess I don't understand
the source of your question, dear.
Do you feel less grateful for learning
than in more formative years?
No, I don't
but I sense younger...

THE CHIMNEY
The once fine air, refreshens with dust
Between the village horizon and crest
Since the sailing of a death chemical chimney.
Young green plants seedlings growing on slope
Are left to sip these carcinogenic dusts, sapling
And entwined...

Just Show Up
Basic Attendance,
listening deeply to the sounds
and functions
flows and forms of nature's voices,
human nature's moving choices
evolve from panentheistic roots
toward win/win co-empathic,
vulnerably transparent
nondual dark energy
Equivalently empowering/disempowering identity
of not-yet-full synergetically integrating
Other/Selfing
pregnantly individuating Time,
equivocating re-incarnating
personal space
through sacred communal time

Choosing Safe Hands and Heads
Like you,
I make choices each moment
of each day.
Apparently,
we review those choices each dreaming moment
of enculturing memory.
We choose within a range
of resonance

for nurturing WinWin resolution--
or cognitiveLeft/affectiveRight dissonance
Dissonance between our

Revolving Rivers
In backyards of my history
lies a tidal river
of ebb and flow revolutions.
These revolutions are normally no-news evolutions
back up toward headwaters of crisis and opportunity,
diastatic and polyphonic purest capital boundary roots
for future's river flow investment
out-flowing down

The Letter to the Acolyte in Poetry Month
(A lone voice writes)
Some whisper and will
In secret occult circles
About these sad days of 2025
That Humanity will fall into unruly petulant desire
Consumed and devoured by a blazing war lit infectious fire
But what happens...

Tributaries Of Black Tulips - Collaboration with 'Ink Empress'
When heinous fangs
of life drain
the amethyst glow
flowing above
infected ripples of time,
I question the
chaos that claims
serenity through
saline serenade
of sirens, composed
with midnight ink
across a mazed face
of a starless canvas,
What if these...

Vaporizing Whispers
I'm torn in poetry ~
like a fractured syllable
scattered across
altars of glistening gold,
mirroring the maskless faces
of those, who once
sold their sanctity for sins.
Perhaps, there's a
cursed moonlight,
to which I'll...

Viking Warrior of Woodland
When the sun hangs low
by scarlet-threaded silk,
you'll find my soul
waltzing in the womb of woodland
like a viking warrior,
where I'm rooted ~
beyond decaying diamonds,
as life unfolds a watercolor symphony
falling from the canopy...

Confluence
Title 3/ Confluence Quote: Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses. Confucius
In the poetic story of my life,
I hesitate and ponder 'don't be so obvious,'
but whatever I am thinking - becomes a poem.
Sometimes life hurts, when lost upon crossroads of fate,
until those...

Awakening
There is an ancient sadness that runs through you,
Creeps through your core,
Burrows deep,
Bound fast with rotting roots,
The sorrows and sufferings of your ancestors,
Immovable in decay,
A proud heritage,
Of hypocrites,
Heretics,
And the occasional martyr,
You know them still,
Lain beside...

Dawn Forever Rising
It starts
Street lights fade
their tiny soft-winged tenants flee
checkerboard facades change
last night's illumined squares now dark
become but yesterday's portals
some polished
some weather streaked
all reaching to reflect first breath
Steam ascends from the city's vacuum
gratings rattle with...

Structure of the Man
Hour arrived,
Proclaiming first light,
As a shower of mellow sunbeams
Smiled on the foundation laid
For the structure of the man.
And he began to ascend.
Time fused together
An empirical patchwork,
Mirroring the passage of pain and joy,
And slowly and meticulously
Each...

A Promise
The first drop,
and each one after,
merge in a cluster of blissful storms
Flourescent
dreams lie in wait
for every rising degree of fervour
Scattered
sunshine ceases to blind compelling faith
Smiles prosper like figs
And the unremitting truth is

Watering Roots
I have noticed
all my daily educational journeys
begin with,
Where do I come from?
And how do I feel today
about my journey so far from yesterday?
Our journey so far,
and yet not far enough?
I come from living waters
as profoundly...
