The Void In Plane Sight

I feel like I'm drowning in the stormy sea,
Tiamat help me write on the Void, please ,
My mind empty ;coming up with thoughts I freeze,
I feel I am drowing;what is the key ?
I drank some Jameson whisky to lube my brain ,
Today I feel like an empty beer barrel,
The words I need I find hard to channel,
It did not help the existential pain.
Tiamat said Listen and stop ing,
If my agents got thru you know what to do?
"I am All ,hear my tales ,see my image ".
Remembered the tales flesh is awakening,
Void is potential and naught at once too,
It is in your bones so make the linkage.

Sapphic Ode to Freyja

I hail Freyja,cat swain and Seidr’s Grand Dame
Goad me to pen mystical poems heart-felt
Vanir Goddess ,teach me trance, wisdom I aim
                          Witchcraft and wealth

Writing poems do flow when I think of thee
Vanir Goddess,Mistress of the Slain I do hail
Freya what I state is true please be near me
                             Freyja does not fail

Freyja,Ottr’s tale ,it gives me hope I say
Can you restore my legs so I can walk to ?
How can I pay Thee Grand Dame I do convey ?
                              I will pray to you

Vision Giver help me with my core  sight 
For years my mind does see black it drives me , mad 
How can I pay you? Will verse and art be right?
                           Dame of love I add

Freyja one last bid make the US vote Jill Stein
Red and Blue are stagnate I do thus proclaim
Under Jill Stein ,US will shine ,that’s no moonshine
             Grand Dame of Galdr I do claim

Evolutionary Letter Number Twenty Six

Cantos Uno  Obsessive Eclipse Octavia
Israel  is like a mote on mankind’s face 
Born on May 14 1948 ,
A host of problems a bloody disgrace 
I see two  eclipses to change it’s fate,
A lunar eclipse Sept 7  next year
 A rotten tepid corpse  is Isreal’ end,
Dec 28 2 years  away  I fear 
Which   lunar eclipse  could fulfill the trend.

There are some partial lunar eclipses  too
They are 4 and 5 years apart in time ,
Will these doom angels assure Isreal is through?
 Israel gone -time for Palestine to shine 
And The last eclipse is to far away,
I might be dead that time who is to say
The first partial eclipse I will be here  ,
 What doom will I find on the blogosphere

  Cancer is on Israel’s  tenth house end
Saturn in Cancer a weak place for sure ,
Moon  in tenth conjunct Saturn -a  friend
The Moon godliness. for Saturn is the cure, 
Let us look at the Nakshatra for the Moon
A  godly message for  Israel -a  boon ?
The   Moon’s Nakshatra is in the 8th cell
Pushya acts godly as far I can tell.

 Cantos Duo: Considerazioni Astrologiche

 And Israel’s 7th house cusp is Aries. too
And plenty of foreign disputes to date
And  Mars in Leo in the 11th -true
Ready for war that it anticipates 
For Israel it is not an good investment   
This behaviour just brings resentment
Israel can be  to aggressive to some  
To self assured in disputes they think they won 

But the 7th house is Israel’s allies
When Mars transits the Tenth time for a coup
With the above config allies strategize
Mars nakshatra,Magha great success too
Sun is in Taurus -gets resources from friends
Ruled by Venus in the 9th bucks never end
Wars it undertakes they feel surely blest 
Wars it undertakes ,it feels it passed the test 

The Sun’s Nakshatra is called Krittaka
The Sun  acts like a persona non grata 

Envoi: 
  Isreal  civic views are  like swine
Eclipses  purport drastic change 
 Warn Israel free Palestine 
If you don’t change you are deranged

Take no crap from Zionists too
And they twist facts to thier taste
If we do mankind is screwed 
Set them straight else all is a waste

Not all Jews are Zionists too
These Jews think these folk are morons ,
Please I ask don’t conflate the two
No,  then you  will get  a sermon.

A love poem

Your 
love
is like  
a rock.Your 
insight shines like a 
largest magnitude blue white star 
Your cuboctahedron  thoughts forms  you told 
me - did shock .
You're a torch bearer for those  who have eyes to  
see,aiding myself and Humanity.

Living in the Land of the Lost

In the Land of the Lost, on my floor;folks crazed 
A wod jane does yell trash in flush room.; felt miffed
My nerves tense, on this floor -I’m on edge;feel brash
Here 8 months there is no hope in sight; feel stiffed
There’s an old bag here that bums for cash; she’s trash
How to be sane ? I then write poems;   do art
Strange sounds comes when my roomy  does sleep-old old pfart
I tell him stop it please I crash hard; mind dazed,
Need more cash to live here.I say your; bucks due.
Funds, ask your kin be nice small talk will help you
First two floors and 3 west folks seem not so bad.
I hope the other wards are fairer, am glad,
Nice things to state about the Vigi,caff great.
I like tuna sarnies all dressed please;first rate
I am finished with this poem with much heart .

Seed To Sunflower

A
Seed
starts small
then it sprouts
when the rain does fall
A seed starts small then  it sprouts when the rain does fall .

Then the stalk pushes thru the ground. and small 
leaves are found 

Then the stalk pushes thru the ground. and small 
leaves are found .Leafs grow larger The Crown 
shows now

Sunflower has reached its maximum height
with all its leaves in its glory out in all. 
It’s crown a lovely site ‘and is Fibonacci right !

Random Radical Reflections

America gets fooled at the ballot box 
Bucky Fuller shined a light out of duopoly’s might
Can America get unstuck,see the light ?
Do vote for what you Want,this will seal the deal
Every vote counts,if it is not same o’ same ‘ o crap
Forego anyone who supports the MIE,that’s the rap
Go for a party that can advance some utopian ideal

Help the Earth become a beautiful place to live,
Insure everyone in your ‘hood is taken care of,
Jill Stein’s manifesto -a breath of fresh air,
Know her manifesto with an open mind- if you dare,
Love everyone with a flaming heart,
Mankind is your kin for the most part.

No more thinking third parties are spoiler votes,
Only you can bring the change,
People have to stop drinking the duopoly’s cool aid,
Question everything.
Read Radical Mycology by Peter Maccoy,
Such an eye opening book you will enjoy.

Thevenusproject.com shows the future,
Utopia or Oblivion by Fuller,shows the facts of life,
Verily look at book for future direction,
Why would you want anything less than perfection?
Xenophobia in our brave new world has no part.
You can be a trail blazer-shine your light.
Zion,not Isreal,paradise on Earth will reign  suprem

2 Weeks of Hell

Today's Mother's Day  Cafe closed, I scream.
Going bonkers place to place wheelchair bound.
To irked to do whatnot I let off steam ,
Saturday, same crap. I wheelchair around.
Last week Cafe closed 3 days,no daydream.
Ice water and popcorn ,diet not sound
Times like this I do not know what to do
I feel put off on I surely feel screwed.

Beware the VIGI

Rage,rage against the coming of the night
What mends my smashed and sad shattered heart?
Is the VIGI  right, is there hope in sight ?
The food makes you sick ? Eat in the cafe

I cant help if  I feel  like an upstart
Turn a new leaf aloft time to restart.
Done for worms inside me what can  I say?
I feel trapped like a rat need a fresh  scheme

Where will you run to  if you do get loose
Stay where you are . A bird in a nice cage ?       
Lie to them -bad angle. Make  a new  plan

Grab the bull by the horns could cause a truce.
I know you feel  so  cramped thus you do rage
If you find peace somehow  your are  da ma

Ode To The Fifth Kingdom

Strophe
I
O mycorrhiza, natures inter net.
This inter net does keep all plants alive .
It beats out what our race has thought as yet.
 The natural world around it does thrive.
II
Trees struck by lightning ,finished by decay.
The  Net enacts signs to the  biosphere
Mycorrhiza knows and does save the day.
The Net does save the ecosphere is that clear ?

III
This food does helps a lot  of damaged trees.
Trees kept alive as long as they can stand.
The Net restores a lot of trees with ease
Mycorrhiza the way to heal the land.

IV 
‘shrooms good  to eat I relay at  the least
The Lions mane ,Reishi are good  for health
Find Boletes and Chanterels -what a feast! ,
And the Turkey-tail shroom, Wow !you own wealth 

Antestrophe
I
Fire burns deadwood at the place  it does fall
They free up space ; release fresh food they do.
 Black Morels grow in burnt out soil ,I recall
Remember the sun and rain they help too.

II
Eat meat and fowls and fish all good for you
 Drink  V8 it will keep you so healthy  
Eat  fruit and veggies all good for you too
Deduce the rede above you are wealthy .

III
And many mushrooms are poisonous too,
The Fly Agaric white spotted red cap ‘shroom ,
The Sickener ,red cap-white stripe bad for you,
Fly Agaric most likely brings your  doom.

IV
The Deathcap mushroom surely is deadly,
There are many others that aren’t reckoned,
Eating a deadly one  kills you quickly,
Unknown shroom located, it should be questioned.

Epode
I
The fifth kingdom is  surely wondrous,
We know a little measure about fungus,
In school it’s in microbiology ,
We know more  on standard biology.
II
There’s a field called Radical Mycology ,
Peter McCoy created this hip field,
Earth’s  Net as model of ecology,
If you practise carefully you should get healed. .

III 
When picking strange mushrooms carry a  guide ,
If you eat them your ride might be a hurst,
If they are edible  wash them ,try them fried ,
Do not heed  my advice|things might be worst .

IV
 And Natures ' Net  does hold plants together
It feeds them all  in good or bad weather  ,
And eating healthy food keeps one stout ,
And Natures. ways certainly deep I shout !
