attenuate: Aug 26 ]
her gracile cancer ridden body disturbed soul shores, re-assimilating into ether
simultaneously
embodied light attenuated as rain sleets soaked washing trauma embedded
molecules —
shattered dreams attenuated floorboards, oregons shivering sunlight through colourful veils
meanwhile
gracile human pendants attenuated threads of Leo’s mane, gently swaying in cool breeze
…
grey matter spilled into hot black and white hands
healing —
blue veins attenuated
their hair one corn, one wavy
lips grim thick and thin
clothed in hospital tunics
spaceship hovered silver sleek
cancer attenuated —
I'm such a strange individual,
Sometimes I'll parade with a smile,
Other times stewing and curled into a ball.
I'm such a wounded individual,
Yearning for love like a neglected child,
With wrinkles of her own.
I'm such a weird individual,
Wherever I notice everyone going,
I run from there and am called to isolation.
I'm such a timeblind individual,
Existing in this world of realities,
Floating inbetween as timezones shift.
I'm such a contradictory individual,
Intellectual and intuitive but naive,
Timeless and aging simultaneously.
I'm such a human individual,
Navigating the realms again,
Knowing not how many times she's been here before.

Disneyland dad bailed years ago, not much to lose
before the child wore his first pair of tennis shoes
ten years later he sweeps in for approval
causing nothing but panic and upheaval
although his ex-wife knows better, she can see
his presence is important to their child, Leroy Lee
She worked three or four jobs simultaneously
To pay for them to live in a walk up on twenty-three
Leroy Lee adores his new found dad who is rich
She keeps her mouth shut, not wanting to be a witch
Disneyland dad has money to show off after all these years
While she had to struggle to never be behind or in arrears.
He is the best, Leroy Lee said, he is a wonderful dad.
Mom keeps her mouth shut, does not out the cad.
Because he is Leroy’s father and Leroy seems to need this.
Disneyland dad swoops in and brings money and bliss.
Body vessel is like an empty drum,
bliss pressure felt equally everywhere,
where all nodes simultaneously strum,
vibrations of earth, water, fire and air
and at each octave presence is aware,
though in truth lower mind cannot locate,
source that teleports us to heaven’s gate.
The journey of the hero
Is both in and out simultaneously
As above so below
Since the nature of reality
Is its nonduality
Everything has a light
And everything a shadow
How could it be otherwise
As we occupy this space
With presence
Dreaming always dreaming
We spin our tales
Weaving a web to catch what?
A glimpse of something divine
The wick our candle burns around
The spark that ignites our consciousness
A something that is no thing
Before there was a Self to seek
The hero’s journey is out and in
There and back again
A mind forever questing
A grail made holy
By the quest
The mystery of manifestation
Made manifest
Sun made flesh and fiber
You could say
And in so doing
Once again simply
Miss the mark

Listening to the ball game on the radio
as he hums his favorite song on the internet
all the while creating effervescent poetry
and downing cream-and-sugar-drenched coffee…
See! A man CAN do several things simultaneously
~ as long as they’re all part of his world of fantasy
In the midst of her gathering, I adorned her with my eyes as I see into her eyes a beautiful soul through the window, I can see her heart beating, I smell the fragrance of her blood excreting.
Oh what a beautiful array
My nose come close to her space. She has such a sweet essence.
Closer and closer, I come into her presence, I disregard everything else I look up more into the skies to heaven simultaneously, looking yet still into her eyes to her soul. Spirit smells of jasmine
Oh what a beautiful array
My lips as I walk ever closer to her her grace, her face shines as I walk over yet and still step-by-step closer to her body, her face resonates I touch her lips with my words. I embrace her heart with my spirit. My hands and arms reach up and out word. I am case her velvet body. I embrace, I touch your face with a kiss. For her spirit , soul in body , her bodies are sweet
Oh, what an beloved beautiful array
Her bodies sweet
