Spilling Wine

Down from a prospect, acclaimed
As that clear eyed
Of a Reisling grape
On the french side
With the local product spilt
Adds, dare I say
What of its sparkle
Gives life to bay.

Premium Member Poor Colin Kaepernick

Poor Mr. Colin Kaepernick
Claims America is racist, inegalitarian and sick
  His professional football contract only pays him $11.4 million
  Though his clear-eyed grasp of the issues makes him worth at least a billion

When I Hear Heaven Sing

clear-eyed springs
unfold her wings
trumpet the joyful
sound of
cherry blossom trees
while
sharing her 
branches 
with
shiny black yellow 
and
red breasted
lorries of the spring
oh lord
when 
i
hear heaven sing

Leaf

Here is a calligraphy a blue veined script,
on the rusty sheen of mortality.

Life and death are scrawled everywhere,
yet the clear-eyed read eternity:
written in-between these.

There one sees
the cursive messages that God writes
upon all things leaving
or yet to come.

(Oso on a Purrrsian rug) 

Lessons From a Cat

It’s okay to be independent
It’s okay to expect the best
It’s okay to simply sit and watch
Clear eyed, without emotion
As all around others judge you
As selfish or aloof or just plain lazy
As they project
Onto your purrrfect equanimity

Down the Tracks

There is no critical mass for ambiguity.
At this time, we are a little aside of ourselves
so we must constantly check our watches,
pause whatever we are doing in order to catch up.
Ambiguous margins have shifted
and that which was once out of sight
is now almost here, we see it
either as a rushing loco of craziness
rolling down mind-tracks,
or as a sublimity of yet more obscure forms.
This inexplicable need
to scribble off-kilter poetry on the clear-eyed air.
