WHALE MOONLIGHT

Where that ocean screams
and her wave licks light
between promise and realm
sailors scream tomorrows
beneath that watery dream
baritone whale sing sweets
mermaids swim toward seam
A whale tooth bites you
and barracuda needles zone
flotsam drinks too foamy
jetsam dreams sand pebble
and salty eyes crying
sand crust skin itching
that heart beating waves
sperm whale moonlight swell

LET WISDOM SHINE

I watched the souls depart today
and a gray sky cried out loud
“what you give to me I take”
and I said let it be this day

You take the low fruit my love
but all life is above — up there
climb in front of me and higher
and eat the fruit of love dear

What is this fruit of life
if love is not in the mix
let wisdom shine for all
and darkness is turned light

And what you give to me
I take and your heart too
and the world does agree
let wisdom shine for all

Let wisdom shine
across the world
and let it today
and forever more

FETUS SONG

Water break fetus breath
slap-sting learn to be
earth-life bitching be
mama gives touch-love
baby-breath upon skin
reality-here so raw
sucks-to-live-now
let me get back light

THAT SOURCE

There is a sweat
unlike most
that it glistens
is betrayal
for that source
Not born of fear
or toil from field
but a righteous heat
that burns the soul

OF LIGHT & LOVE

LIGHT removes hidden secrets
those dark betrayals of life
love begets that soft truth
and gives, thus heals all scars

THE BRIDE

WITHIN a room
of glass and flower
I handed the bride
to the groom
A howling wind
within my fields
that single point
an eternal blade
through mortality
divided my soul
one youth —
the other old

SUMMERS ARE PURPLE

AND which feather has tickled you
the one of sorrow for perceived lost
or that one which bring joy and tear
I confess that both have touched
that grand heart within that cage
— hush now, feather-heart
there be always summers each year
and many sunrises-surprises-smiles

LIFE-OCEAN

We parted beneath ancient oak
horizontal place in frozen time
the hand I held I begrudgingly gave
ignoring pain and the cry of angels
a Holy fracture within tar pit soul
that feature falling frames of time
Immortal circle we dance ignoring
what futures we hold — perchance
Sweetness and bitter moments
no tongue could clearly explain
nor words convey in human language
such ceremonial moves that life-ocean

LIFE DEMANDS LIVING

I was torn by society
a fabric unwoven twice
disassemble factory life

A step into each corner
of a world spinning fast
race, ideology, religiosity

I came to love not bear
fight, or discriminate
flesh knows weakness

Come, let thus build us
a world beyond dreams
one of fate and love

We are human first
this world begs us
fight for all life

Politicians, law
restriction bleed
battlefields we

CITIZEN PLAN

A hit on the head
a thump to the heart
a jump on the start
showed me to let them in

Martin Luther
JFK open the door
Mister Lincoln
you before us

I open the door
and hearts flow
I’ll let them in
and let love flow
march for life yes

Farmer Bill
Sister Suzy
Mister Leonard
Brother Phil

Come on in all
there’s a plan
before the fire
beneath the night

Someone’s knocking
on the door —
do me a favor
and let them in

Sister and brothers
the plant of liberty
is dry — let’s try
bleed dream and cry
