Long Unweave Poems

On the night before Christmas, alone in my house, 
Sorrow gnawed at my soul, like a ravenous mouse.
Entombed in my blankets, I struggled to sleep,
Ready to snap if I counted more sheep.

I rose at the...

Imagine,
for the two thousand and twentieth time,
Yang is hierarchical upside power hungry
from above,
authorized to prey on those yins below,
however resiliently they may pray.

Yang grows politically overpowering strengths
of an autonomously omnipotent god,
pejoratively associated with patriarchy,
and ethologically...

His steady stead Jalopy had been pounding...

It suddenly then drives.

When a Man Loves a Woman


He awoke, unaware of what ailed him,
lay blissfully stupid upon the bed.
They had exchanged numbers. “Perhaps?”  “We’ll see?”

I remember the email
Asking about seeing stars
I casually remarked no
Callous, not realizing the scars

But many years later
While pondering my past life
Realized so many mistakes
Again cutting like a knife

Heather I'm so so sorry
I was so young...

Sometimes dreams come true
And sometimes plans fall through
You can’t always tell just when it will become
A reality that is like a huge breakthrough

Sometimes fantasies become reality
Still, there...

Welcome to my mind
it's easy to get lost in here
everything is such a mess -

I'm not and even 
who I think I want...

I move;
perception moves;
thoughts move;
feelings move;
this body moves.

I am still;
perception stills;
thoughts still;
feelings still;
this body stills;

These perceptions I thought were me
vanish;
these thoughts I thought were me
vanish;
these feelings I thought were me
vanish;
this body I thought was me

Time can tell that all men fell 
On the morn post a starless eve
Leaving nothing behind
No remnants reside
Causing life’s tapestry to unweave

But someone on high must take pitty 
For some seeds managed to thrive
As if...

Earth sciences

As artistic time-travel images

and more deeply into fragrance
and taste of sweet v sour and bitter, even worse
and touch of good v bad mistrusted,

Privacy is a freedom of the past,
computers and cell phones took that away;
for it was too precious to ever last.

although we once talked to them face-to-face,

It wasn't difficult 
to learn the history
of you, 
to wipe away the 
foreign imprints 
of other souls, 
and misplaced fingertips
on the geography 
of your body.
The hard part was 
allowing my hands 
to fall, 
learning to

Death has released your soul on this Summer's Eve,
and there is nothing that I can do but grieve.
As a dying sun sets.

A trickle of tears soon morphs into a flood,
and my heart shrivels, as though...
