THE LONG STORM

I, within the flat and dry plains
could see clearly into eternity
but a day unbeknownst to me
the sudden violent weather —
no fraternity, but came to be
The skies cracked my spirit
and bolt-light my soul
this for five long years
the rain — incessant winds
and on a day of certain death
the sun became my friend again
and in the distance the storm went

A HOPE TO DANCE

I cannot hope
— to dance
upon my tears
the sorrow large
but surface small
I shall dream instead
to fly above my pain
and land upon
soft bellow clouds
there — no tears
and the surface large
for life’s ballad

A HUNDRED POEMS — VII

FATHER, oh father where were you
my crib is destroyed by time
and clothing many sizes bigger
and scars upon my heart and soul
that list many write of loss
too lengthy for me to scribe
some memory still exists —
imagery through thick glass
once I believed I be born
but now reside in resolve —
you were never birthed nor lived
and me by mother —
immaculate
conception

LISTEN NOW

NOTHING ever listens
but hearts sing
and smiles glisten
and souls believe
life is a red color
And who am I dear
not a one to fit
in any clothing
and my skin cries
wish to give it back
and i would sing
in a rain without doubt
so easy to say to you
that i believe in you
everyday — not for me
but for the world…
and listen to me now
that i would be alone
if not for the love
and smiles you give me

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

BROKEN TEAR

THAT vast wintry move
become more than ice
a chasm between souls
where once danced fire
now quietly —
lay broken tear

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

WOMAN

What woman she
of no true clan
a bastard’s bitch
a flight for life
born for pain
and giver of life
Such beauty she
Cosmic love-be
Tenderly praise
We of God-be

EMPTY FIELD OF BONES

Please learn this lesson love
sometimes a strong heart
should not live too long
Admirable love of strength
when battles are won
Look across the field
many die that fight for life
But your soul remains so
beyond any you love
or know — alone are you
An empty field of bones

TAKE AWAY

YOU take away what I gave
and say it was yours
and I remain in darkness
and your needle remains
but I remember everything
and try to kill it all away
but I remember everthing

And you could have had it all
to include my pain and dirt
but ego needs illusions
and that I could not give
you were someone else love
I am still here un-become
a sweet dream for one

and in the end everyone
goes away but you could
have had it all — my
pain and empire of dirt

and in the end I remain
but your end never comes
an eternal pain that burns
