Printing Labels for Unlabeled Minds

...Like us all,
he was good at naming things,
trees, minerals, the anatomy of rabbits,
butterflies and all things
he saw or imagined he saw.

Later he had an epiphany,
he realized he knew nothing...

I am

...“As God’s spark ensouling organic form,
I am that presence which cannot be named,
felt within as a magnetic bliss storm,
divine pulsation that cannot be tamed,
gentled by His touch, w...

Labels

...To use one word to describe
one so beautiful and wise
seems an impossible task,
but why not try.

Gorgeous? Delicate? Ethereal?
No, they sound too focused on the physical.
Bright? Witty? Smart...

Photographs

...If nothing else, I do amuse myself;
I chuckle, thinking where this all will end -
all my possessions, lined up on the shelf,
with which, one day, my children will contend.

Five years ago, my mo...

A Omne and Scrappy Find

...Perusing some recently mindless & unlabeled
shelfed works (my recently ancient poems),
benumbed fingers pluck jumbled words;
musings that had much meaning once
but now seem more like
the random ...

Who Enters As I Leave

...I wake in a memoryless room
unlabeled and unanchored,
a floating proprioception unhinged
from time and place.

The bathroom has moved beyond the present
it is where it was once maybe.
This roo...

Between the Shallows and the Deep

...I wake in a memoryless room
unlabeled and unanchored,
a floating proprioception unhinged
from time and place.
The bathroom has moved beyond the present
it is where it was once maybe
yet where i...

Naked To Nurture Naked, To Nurture

...Naked to Nurture.  Naked, to Nurture.



Why not naked into woods?
We yank up gumboots.
Enshroud our piggies in wicking and itching sockbags.
Hoping to holdfast against the forfeiture o...

Medicine and Sickness

...Medicine and sickness satisfy each other.
MotherEarth is medicine.
Where do you find yourself?
     Zen Master Yunmen
     China, 800s

Therapy and trauma require each other.
Ecological Earth ...

The Flesh: a Billboard

...Immeasurable,
unlabeled, word-
less by 
studded 
tears
and 
voice,


APHONIC.

Only death by 
tenderness 
swoops down
as eternity
and her hands,
soft as fire;
as time

the flesh;

Behind Smiled

...Under a grin, redirected, 
A sniff of grief claws
Through, revealing
A sad blue artery,
A pain 24-7.
Underscored with carefully
Emoted verbs, 
And adjectives imbedded with
Mock sincerity, 
A...

Piggies

...Twelve steaming appetizers, artistically set.
Seven sea morsels in a bird's nest net.
Great pies of meat cooked in butter and sweat.
Puddings and pastries and a heart-thumping bet:
That you'll ea...

Labels

...Please tell me why it's meaningless,
When a woman is assaulted.
Is it because somehow she must'v asked for it,
Why is she the one who's faulted?

Why, is it more believable, 
When a man says it...

Terrorism Knows No Geography

...hate knows no limits
Boston or Beirut Bombings
innocent ones die

in Paris or Pakistan
atrocities unlabeled
innocent ones die

Baghdad or Berlin
Lives should have the same value
innocent on...

You Said

...you said to me once - that 
you would let me know - if 
there was anything I could - do
to help

and at the end, lying in that
hospital
all your futures lost to an
unlabeled sickness
all you...
