he practically followed her home
friends had to stop him
not that one, we said
she is mine, he told us
he took a step in her direction
we pulled him back
he is in love with the idea of being in love
perpetually smitten
All Earth's sacred tribes
From seeds
to nuts
and eggs
and embryos
and guts
Organically start sacred life
as faithful panentheists
Receiving nutritional manna
from MotherSky's
Gaian healthcare
wealth of heaven.
Clothes used to matter. Now I don’t even fix supper.
There is food here
Thanks to my husband.
I am typing
All the time
Perpetually typing
Delighting in it
Stuck to a computer
Hours upon hours
Throwing down my truth
So when I die
People can throw the clothes out
But maybe
Just
maybe
Please
maybe
they will not
throw out my words.
Finally reading them for the very first time….
Perpetually Reasoning Why
Within the line of tedious thought a precarious perpetual rot
In a tensional tangled knot, an intensive intellectuals wrought
Passing sceptered seasons embroidered by relentless reasons
We look at times of turbulent treason a lacerated lashing lesion
Wise men with questions in peril of their secular seismic sessions
Renunciation of man's confessions reinventing recurring recessions
Evaluating evolved equations in reason of discursive verbal vibrations
Decisive declarations lost in humanities communal communications
A comprehensive cognition in realization of redundant recognition
We are the human condition suspended within a perpetual position.

The Edge of Reason
Sponsored by: John Hamilton
Of the many roads that I have taken
the many words which I have forsaken
Never could my passion bring
The lonely heart from which my cistern drinks
Gloom, the comfort of my tears
Tears, the instrument of my fears
Fear, the ransom paid of daring to dream
Dreams, the reward for all my gloomy ideals
Come! Feel the bronzie-blood upon my sleeves
Tilting Forcibly in that brazen breeze
Groaning for you to release thee
Begging in silence, pleading devotee....
Floating,
Hoping,
Wandering,
Despairing
,Fearing
,Soothing
,Exhaling
, Calming ...
Once again, once, .... again
What more can I attain
Must I dare to say
Drifting,
slowly,
dis-mem-ber-ed prey
