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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Ode To Communicating with a Cedar Tree

Strophe
I
O ancient cedar tree so grand and wise
In BC’s old growth forest ,I found thee
I sat beneath your trunk and asked advice ;
I sensed the presence of  the cedar tree 
II
I  received a riposte to my surprise
Cedar shouted my blood dead  ?  Ask my rede ?!
Begone two legs I will  not  speak this twice
Clear  cut plans  for old growth glens, sad ,'nuff  said

III
I find these trees are beatific and  grand.
I grasp the cedar’s  anger ,felt dismay.
Its views I did not  dismiss out of hand.
I got up when done without a delay.

Antistrophe
I
The Angel Oak ,Redwood trees  are lovely too.
There are more beatific trees that  folk will find.
The next road trip you take find them can  you?
This method is broadly  better design.
II
Clear cutting  of a forest,not a crime.
Helps species that cannot endure the  shade,
Wisely used younger trees gets sunshine.
Trees that can not stand the shade have it made
III
Feeling bad about seeing forests tree free
Try tree planting along denuded frontier
Hard work to bring back its ancient beauty
And tree seeding  is gold   ,be a volunteer

Epode
I
Huge Ancient  trees with such a huge life span.
All ancient trees cry out to be adored
Pick and choose,you’re a narrow minded man.
Mind meld with  trees is your reward.
II
Clear  cutting cost is to high for younger trees
And boreal clear cutting -a climate threat
They need light ,try selective  cutting  please.
And stop this action there will be no regret

III
Balance is scales of justice is the best scheme
Keep the woods  for a-future generations
Create an ecosystem that is a dream 
Reforestation has vast reparations

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 !

A Sestina on old growth forests

Old growth forests are a sight to behold             
 Humans wiping them out makes me angry
 Politicos who support this can go to Hell             
 Angel Oaks,giant cedars and Redwoods              
 These are some of my favoured trees,  I say                   
 General Sherman -a most ancient tree                 

Angel Oak boughs are coiled ,I love this tree
All the ancient trees ;divine  to behold
Lay my ashes neath an Oak tree  I say
Clear cut forrests they made me quite angry
Giant cedars ,grand -behold the Redwoods
 Those who wreck  ancient forests go to Hell

Ancient forests wrecked I'm angry as Hell
The huge red oak is one hell of a tree
Other beatific trees are the Redwoods
Angrboda ‘s tree -lovely to behold
Cutting these trees down-I'm bloody angry
Politicos should pay a price: I say

Old growth forests are a biome,  I say
Those who destroy them are stupid as Hell
 Lay waist to old growth forests?-I'm angry
 I sat still under a huge cedar tree
 Hike thru these forests a sight to behold
I wonder what critters live in Redwoods

I wish I can visit the grand Redwoods
 I'm wheelchair bound  do not know what to say
Walked thru a small old growth woods nice to behold
The woods were denuded of old trees,oh Hell
  Old growth Cedars are one hell of a tree
 Most of the old growth gone makes me angry

Logging roads in BC grave ,I’m angry 
Love to muse beneath a pair of Redwoods
What type of vibe will I get from that tree?
 Protest the harm of old growth woods; I say
 If you don’t  help out ,I'm angry as Hell
 Clear  cut woods from a plane -shock to behold

Envoi:
Burn  old growth woods angry I say
 Stop logging Redwoods ,no,oh Hell
  An Angel oak tree I want to behold

Evolutionary Letter Number Two

Day 1
I am a wheelchair warrior
It is August-Hel's rune ,Ear is here
What needs to die in the next 5 days?
That which hinders  growth anyways
US sends USS Georgia to Hell's Armpit
Bad move by America, I fear
Lloyd Austin sent the orders ,he's a twit
Is Ragnarok knocking at Nerthus's door ?
Nobody knows for sure.
Day 2
A child shows he has a chicken to eat,
Israeli troops beat a 7 year old boy,
War is rotting innards ;eating  foul  a treat,
Atrocious behavior  what is your ploy?
Priestly law allows for the killing of kids,
Karma is a boomerang  ,Hells Armpit,
Most folks won't stand for Rabbinical 
Day 3
Israhell claims they are the most just country 
around,
Hells Armpit claim shaky and not too sound.
The planet at large opposes  Hells Armpit,
And Israhell  is slowly going to .
 Palestinian   bodies everywhere seen,
And how do activists stop the war machine ?
Joe gives 10 billion to Hells Armpit again,
This support by America  I condemn.
Giving away funds to Hells Armpit must go
And funds for fighter planes,the status quo ?
Israhell’s approval  is slowly  rotting away
 And Ear’s hand in Israel fall ,clear  I say
Day 4
 Voting in the U.S. a joke
 Red and Blue are a war machine
These regimes foul, time to vote Green
Voting in the U.S, a joke

 Red and Blue are a war machine
And choice in elections -a joke
It makes an aware person- choke
 Red and Blue are a war machine

And choice in elections -a joke
The News -if civic stop the spin
Stop watching fake news  -no tailspin
And choice in elections -a joke

The News -if civic -stop the spin
Stop slow U S system decay
Ear had a hand in it ;no way !
The News -if civic- stop the spin

Voting in the U.S -a joke
 Red and Blue are a war machine
These parties foul,time to vote Gree
Voting in the U.S, a joke men 
Day 5 
A bullet proof glass cage for Donald. Trump.
What mental skills you use to make your day .
Kamala Harris and the Gender Gap.
War with Iran more blood on the States hands .

Young men do like Trump an amusing sign,
The Democrats hate Trump they love to whine,
Trump is now safe from shooters, still a chump,
A  bul.let proof glass cage for  Donald Trump..

I practiced medical Qi Gong long ago,
The school I went to was  Wu.Dang dojo.,
It gave me energy  to cope I say,
What mental skills you use to make your day..

Some men like Harris ‘cause she is youthful,
My position today is I am neutral.,
And women get Harris ,that is the rap 
Kamala Harris and the Gender Gap..

America in a war with Iran?
America thrift tanks the trouble just began,
 Iran revolts and give the States it demands,
War with Iran more blood on the States hands.

Looking for love in all the wrong places

I’m the best in the West, I am true Blue.  
 I’m the Beast of the East, time to score.    
Choose me -I will always love you.         
I dreamed it all   I got screwed for sure.   

 I’m the Beast of the East, I hope to score.  
I am 62,single  am infirm                     
. I dreamed it all   I got screwed for sure.       
I am tarnished vase but still firm  .           

I am 62,single  am infirm.         
Go to park meet some cutie.       
I am tarnished vase but still firm.       
I miss the old days,I got booty.    

Go to park meet some cutie. 
Choose me -I will always love you
I miss the old days,I got booty
I’m the best in the West, I am true Blue
