sands of Heraclee

...Peter (my bf) and I are at Heraclee beach for the weekend.

Forest Canticle

...

that crawl its damp understory 
of bush and fern, and above,

The Road Through

They seem out of place
in th...

Caterpillar Fur

...Spring is sprung.
Clouds of maple.
Skies of pine.

Red in green.
Serviceberry understory.
Spring is sprung.

Skunk cabbage spathe.
Black birch sap.
Poplar flowers.

Opossum tires.

Ridden Hard, Put Up Wet

...Ridden Hard, Put Up Wet


Worn down landscape
Ridden hard and put up wet over eons of time.
Buttes interspersed with ravines and wadis,
Vast irregular symmetry.

Clumps of purple blue green s...

Wisdom's Healthy Passion

..."We have an enemy within called the ego
who prevents us from using our mind intelligently.
It hides deep within our heart
and emerges with regularity
to challenge and consume our will."

Viola Viscera Mr

...We set foot on dry grass at the cockcrow 
 of a nascent union. 
Cheek to cheek as Cupid towers 
over the rose inside my heart,
shooting arrows at a dyad draped in fire,
gliding through the tundr...

Badboy Monotheists

...Where do we think all this economic and politically empowering
cooperative
nutritional
organically luscious imagination
and ecologically exegetical orthopraxis
started?

ambiguously passionate attachments
of compassion's resilient arousal.

On a perfectly sanctified Earth,

Realtalk Parties
