imagine on mud made beach
voices of human birds
devolution body songs
ash returning to life oceans
pearl shell and shimmer
fish fighting with wind
cast about for tenderness

what is new
and what is old
in the eternal pause
of this daily rice and salt
happy some year this year

#520. the river has no doldrums
December 30, 2011
the river is still in its course today
she rolls softly and enfolds this string
in the multiverse with a quiet song now
on the open flow to whatever sea dreams us
forward the river is still in its course wherever
it sings flowing open soft forward in string dreams

feeling time
the river branches around
all the ghosts becoming more and more
frequent riding the current down to the sea

for me
arbitrary time
another sweet starlit year
within the vast pale pearl moment
river smoke willow clay woven in the wind
within the vast pale pearl moment
another sweet starlit year
arbitrary time
for me

time is the queen of forget
the night deep in bright dreams
flying thru time the past is divided
from tomorrow with adventures and meaning
barely to be perceived fog spiraling off the stern of now

#500. totem poem
December 10, 2011
bottom of the sea
top of the ocean
salt water in between
human we gather
for a last meal
we gather the totems
wear our ancient masks
hold on to sparkling
figures in memories
sustained thru time
to comfort and upset us
bottom of the sea
top of the ocean
salt water in between
we create art from meaning
it is so hard to give up a child
a father a lover a wife an old life
the prison of desire
is a prism to look through at death
my little fragment of rope
desperately tied and retied
holds me in this circle
bottom of the sea
top of the ocean
salt water in between

reflecting no more to shine only
to rest to fade to be inspired
resisting the fade resting
shining more reflecting
more resting only
to fade resist
fading be
inspired
shine

december me world
shine and quicken thru the days
the year ends
and begins
gravity’s
yearly dance
to bring the light back from night
