Poems!

Humping Baggage

Alpine heat
Vietnam vet
Drunken dreams
Beads of sweat

Rock wall ring
Moat of fire
Rampart fisure
Asphixed desire

Viking tine
Cicada knight
Palisades cache
Juvenile fright


Double Down

Pearl diver dark
sunken silk weeds
compound coral
labyrinth reeds

salt stung foam
stalactite cave
dripping songs
envoy wave


Bay Surf

Fantasy fog milky flannel
Great white current chum
Shore homes turquoise panel
Sand and shrubs, breezy hum

Seagulls mock Surfers' ghosts
Sun in town warming slopes
Jogger's backs dog walkers
Shoppers thrill stalkers

Cozy fog blanket renewed air
Small houses mute stare
Cycles through jetty cay
Another morning day
Sweet set rolls away.


Odd Children

Read Pinnocio at a young age
Cinderella, a better toll sage
Ugly duckling, little match girl
Who foresees this dark world?
When fantasy matches fiction
Canon recoil's frightful predilection

I wish the best for our futures
Padded pockets malformed moochers
NRA, ACA, what's needed is not dead
Nor is it ever uttered or said
It's all and nothing among us now
Neither fable pretend high brow

Nameless

Before kings and Christ
Out of nothing, joy emotion heist
In the stare of darkness
Measureless primordial warm
Existing actions after dawn
Forms in mist, the space between
Sound and solid, earthly dream
Air and earth free
Floating web of love, pre history

Killing Time

I know it hurts
High for another first
Pushing a futile run
Strawberry fields
Wish it were done
To finish in time
Sick white line
Ego-bliss in pain
Breaths and beats for years in vain


Haumikole!

Native land under guise of red blood and blue
Pilameya - we thank you!

Praise your trees and catch the dreams
That dance in the dark and shadow screams

A century and more colonial rule
To the love of freedom - lifeway, Lakota mule.

Canupa Gluha Mani; saddled dis-ease
People poisoned by land over seas

Scalped and slowly bled
Mother's nourishment true

Great animals hide
White skin false pride.

The gift you left, the killers plundered
Spirits have spoken, drum beats thunder.

Run and sing through the great expanse
Free at last, no longer a slave

To the land of the free
And home of the brave.


What the Art

Who writes the street sign?
hung green pedal
Reflective letters
curved brushed metal.
Text TV - captioning saint;
Court transcriber verdict faint.
The sun rays etch earth -
The message poetry birth.

There is no God

It's not your doing that hate
Senses, humor, and nervous gait
Disembodied spirit scattered chat
Drifting toward me; it's love that
Energy vibrating light speed
Heightened tension passing breeze

Bi-Products

Liars - fucking liars - the lot of you
Exchange and consume your lethal brew:
Black work, muslim fears-
Capitulating politics, crocodile tears.
Weaselly men, passive haze; drunken women, USA
So Ring it up, cash it in!
Deny your faith and right wing sin
