#557 Arbitrary Moment Coming To Pass
December 31, 2013
Tender is the swimmer
far out in the ocean of light.
Bright star dances tonight.
I am possessed by my dysfunction,
jangle and clang, chime and hum.
Human to the core, human to the stars,
my violence precedes my time.
Time to sing no more time to weep,
no more time than now.
#537. earth day
April 22, 2012
when i see the earth
in a picture taken from space
i realize that the planet doesnt need humans
and may in fact be better off without us. save the earth?
it doesnt need saving, what we really mean is save our place on the planet.
if we destroy our place in the ecosystem (along with nearly
countless other species’ places) the earth
will survive and continue on its
evolutionary path thru time
without us.

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

year starting
now again every
moment greet the new

cold and still
in the canyons tonight
the wind pierces by the river
struggling with my simultaneous selves
all of my moments are lost until by memory
they are desired
#475. everyone’s fourth (just the facts ma’am)
July 4, 2011
softly heroes shimmer deep
in the red white blue
history herstory
just the facts
no truths
please
no matter how you try and spin it
it’s the fourth of july
not the third
or fifth

from clear-eyed sleep
another dream
my mother
dorothy
wakes
from color
finds me in
black and white
everyone in their place
#469. ten
April 15, 2011
kissing
starry light
bright trance
retinal delighting
alighting hypothalamus
and relighting time to live
in the clouds backed by the moon
with your hair wild in the sharp wind

February 27, 2011
i am so
and so
scramble my brain
eggs into sculptures
poem omelettes
tired of over easy
return is another change
in time to
baffle time
and myself
one more time

less
death
in change
this still life
moves bright stars
deeply in darkly eyes
focuses joy overwhelming
now the sorrow of whenever
whatever comes as time to time
