physics and chemistry
such deep space
kissing spectral telemetry
how to touch
create this
atomic weight
bond that
covalent molecules
gravity and  periodic more
electrons at the speed of light
bountiful earth and barren Mars
incorporate bombastic haste
inculcate worthy stars
all this plastic waste
if only proactive
this selective utopia
something composed
literally no place
everything and feckless compost
broken down
nitrogen and organic matters
culpable fossil fuels
repose oil in nature
shame on us
our reckless waste disposal
this excessive dirge and ringing
all these other spatters
blasts and final gasps
hand wringing
idiotic flapping and chaotic flings
around the happening world
gross entrapment
following through
between the widening gaps
boss but we need to grow
don't concede lost ballast
callouses deep in mother earth
we need brother trees
live to breathe
mature forests
breeding and flourishing
all that mocking drastic
economy can't retrieve lost birds
won't behave like bees
sweetening and nourishing
divorce all this choking plastic
failing starving seabirds
full of twist-off bottle caps
engorged with broken bits
crops full of human treason
why not human
just give us reason
imprison us on poisoned earth
didn't vital God
give us title and reign
that milkmaid happy
dancing in a peaceful dell
cottage cheese or just microplastic
an entourage from blissful hell
everything we eat
mining and glazing
rephrasing plagues and razing oceans
everything in amazing stages
what we see and sell
continents of bloated plastic
what derelict bought
careless something
denoting reckless thought
right out of the demoted ground
eruptions on the fragile surface
should we connotate
who cares to denotate
too much pollution
so much terror and detonation
why care at all
so much confusion and extinction
constructing even hotter
corrupting matter and water
so many convincing spoiled spots
wasted lifetimes
so few unspoiled parks and natural plots
toxic water and air oughta
ruined by senseless
what would birds say
relentless could we
ever understand
should weather gods
even be angry
maybe we will
learn a lesson
still we need
elementary schooling
depending on every thing
so much we need to surrender
defending what we need and tool
addressing spirit and soul
prayers of ritual confession
bonding truth with actual latency
exceptional fact and physical chemistry
so much ineffectual expectation
kissing factual telemetry
abiding cryptic God
conscripting heady actuation

you've lived life
laughed your head off
you've witnessed miracle birth
you've wept and cried
fraternized with morbid death
you've felt things deep inside
every tear and deep breath
measuring moments
each pounding heartbeat
measured existence
perhaps invincible love
even intolerable hate
perhaps justice or indifference
hopefully complete and utter joy
you've jogged and run
shuffled and walked
you've sometimes fallen
 stumbling and spinning
experiencing hardship and pain
there have been exceptional moments
floundering and grumbling
including intentional tethering
tying yourself to some sacred ground
those regimented thoughts
truth and lies can both be found
profound inceptual pleasuring
if pleasure is ever to be found
it is in your inventive mind
grounded you've been awake
dumbfounded you've rested and slept
at times defeated by dumb and blind
you've dreamed just for dream sake
sometimes feeling completed
complicated by demons and angels
instigating night terrors
sometimes that steamy erotic space
relishing sticky honey
slathering fruit with sweet cream
each recipe a delicious vision
invictus revelation
all our human relations
country and city folk
reciprocally bleed with all life's muss and fuss
proceeding along life's uneven lines
acceptance accompanying tolerance
one balancing dream after another
sometimes there are deep divisions
one dreadful steep after the other
one phalanx confronting another
every creed and needy vision
something about brothers and sisters
everything concerning fathers and mothers
segmented by this over blown world
consent falls down on its knees
reliance sowing viable seeds
commit to reliable alliance
still passion can't solve death
instill resolution in reasonable fashion
distilled liken this to trees
a Druid mindset
involving rocks and deep roots
social gatherings with home grown food
featuring seasonal mood swings
a willing audience of brooding birds
avast the disappearing bees
alas those disappearing singing trees
reflect upon every wooden cross and crest
inspect every vacant birds nest
mourn silent bee hives
gone is the honey
becoming sweet life
pollinators feed all the growing world
so you're moaning because you've been bitten
smitten you've read and written
watched as unfitting things unfold
cultivating fire in your mind
sparking all this human trying
so much pain and crying
what if we find human
that life is simply saying
help nourish yourselves
perhaps some happy day
you'll find flocks of chirping birds
busy buzzing bees and forests full of singing trees
you've seen and smelled moist earth
disheveled you've dug trenches
at times worry for all you're worth
you've avoided some of those stormy seas
building castles and strong rock walls
your preying paranoia created these
east west north and south
there is still sacred divinity
echoed by every human call
art deco and divine God
treasuring colour and illumination
alas grim humans and dim insanity
remember to keep perpetual and forever in mind
harbour some slice of transcendental light
a comprehensive healing test
arbors of revelation and incarnation
joined by incidental humankind
revolution coins crass vanity
instrumentally involving ruminating humans
solvency formed with humanity's vitality
vast convention that is free wheeling
revealing feeling radiant life
revelation consistent with this mortal space
impacting both sordid and elevated feelings
cutting fueled emotion with a fitting razor knife
muttering insistent cruel notions
consistently reflecting both yours and mine
attendant with all these worldly commotions
reversing each confection with some valid reason
changing every curse into a blessing
redressing errors that wither every vine
then enter immortal Caesar
powerful address in this gutter time
 

                            * * * 

 

this is
my dream
I'll dream
whatever dreams
I love and need
mindful caring
to dream
this is my varied life
harried at times
watch me sew things up
patch holes and cultivate buttercup
parity or so it seems
I'll use sharp needles
let me say needless tools
but think honed and useful thoughts
webs of rare spider silk
shiny threads binding my words together
I think whatever I want
do what ever I mean
I'll go my own way
repose with my own story
I don't know about glory
I'm heading to a place
that cave where sacred doesn't worry
I shan't tarry
maybe I'm too late
still I think I've hurried
trying to understand
everyday I desperately blink
trying to see
pursue true harmony in daily life
view dharma from this position
seek good karma
regarding imposition
nirvana's requisition
devotion to my emotional promises
maintain positive action and motion
so I give a solemn care
don't be pitiless or bottomless
don't assume entitlement or rarity
invoke good action and give joy with your charity
don't promote relentlessness
avoid those bent jeers and stares
rapture rules this volatile world
captured oil and reduced water feelings
survival concerns everything and me
sometimes I seek eternal love
so why must I plead with needless hate
questioning seedy words and morals
still I hate being regardless or late
I hate bigotry and racial hatred
censure greed and immoral nature
that gold standard pounding
rounding out dictatorship
grounded in those fascist rates
delegating vampires with that vampire fate
instigating what hatred has created
lobbyists politically relevated
driving wooden stakes through hearts
opening coffins from early to late
I detest those hounding satyrs
economic matters into brain dead zombies
crafting vanity and corporate monopolies
I cringe feeling that insane hate
drafting those hard crippling places
where there is no soft truth
mark real courage
with intrepid nettle and blue flowered borage
vibrant words and herbs of gladness
hearkening to perfect freedom
cure all notes
hearing and healing
curds and whey remarks
stirring every hard debate
idiosyncratic ideology
but maybe that's destiny
perhaps a never ending cursed state
beware sharp curves and wooden stakes
what if we didn't dream them
what if we refused to see them
what if we couldn't care
what if we wouldn't dare
journey from here
Ixtlan and further
camping over there
only hoping to survive
scarcity and poverty as worthy
no sweet or healing honey
no schools of medicine or bait fish
no coin or cash or safes full of money
relinquish providence and conservation
still all that churning plastic
forget yearning and lost health
wealth floating helpless in the dying sea
pretending what they thought was free
corporate stealth and mind bending
offending you and watching me
no rainbows
only fixed colour
no zen birds singing
just mixed feathers
soaring like origami through the air
no real guard hairs or shiny fur
nothing natural for animals to wear
what if there were
no sweet cream
would hungry life
still want to be
would God still see us
being creative here
would miraculous heaven
retain this modern world
or simply swallow us up
like a sun gone nova
invite corrupt hurting too
seeking something truly divine
angels and all that unknown
what might we see and say
or would we plainly maintain
our deaf and blind stance
shackled to our pathetic fear
propaganda never speaks truth
advance to seldom seeing straight
what about doctrines and other lies
revealing every rivulet in every leaky roof
what about the instruction of water
carving canyons and constructing living proof
what about the sun's blinding light
blind and mindless we appear petty and aloof
what is wrong with us
just what is right
rich earth below
fickle sky above
should we romance misery
hatred with its razor sickle
tickle and remind me why
peaceful harmony and love
just can't live here
remind me why
people helplessly continue
to exist in reckless fear

                 * * *

 

lying there
four arms
four legs
all that fire
between us
all that passion
within us
being together
sweat and lovers
wet wanting lips
passionate's secret stare
flirtatious eyes
ecstatic flare
whether mind or touch
kind elastic
lover fashion
compassionate hips
daring to open there
caring for that
whole thing
call it live and love
wrapping strands of itself
around wild hearts
tender vivid dreams
tendrils seeking souls
those love moans
passion's grind and groans
kissing everything
so good it seems
so much peach and taste
so much reach and flash flood
lightning joy and burning love
this electric bliss
shivering as we kiss
what about bits of heaven
quivering together
this blissful love
something measured
treasure we truly own
love remits
while we atone

          * * *

 

what if
love
was free
would love
let you
would love
let me
what if we
were always
blue
what would
others see
would love
ever be
as blue
as you
could love
ever be
as blue
as me
could true
love
ever be
a cure
when we
feel
love
are we
ever
sure
that love
is what
we need
if only
perfect
love
could fix
both
you
and me
what if
love
had a
heart
could heartfelt
love
ever be
as deep
and pure
as the deepest
purest sea
what if
love
could breathe
would love
take a breath
then wait
and see
what if
love
was stop
and start
would we
ever let
love
tear us
apart
would love
ever be
that cruel
could love
ever mend
every broken
heart
what if love
were truly
free
where would that
put you
and me

         * * *

 

those roads and fields
littered with bitter war torn steel
attest those frittering incursions
such rabid dogs of war
salivating when bombs fall
strategy did this
just how far
cruelty ensues
renewed with every battle call
fuel and brute force
reviewing each chance
all those propaganda tales
liberation created this
bombs selling liberty and death
bureaucrat and politicat
such remorseful romance
fueling a despotic kiss of death
announced as armies advance
soldiers bleeding into austere motion pictures
severe oceans of tribulation
crossing country ditches
farms and towns
flensed and war torn
needy body parts
Perpetua turning empire inside out
hierarchy blown apart in tanks
isn't that what war is all about
ripped to bits
fresh and messy red stripes
behest orchards and groves
disintegrated by bastard bombs and trenches
bureaucratic ranks bloodied
tank trains rank caution
frank political crossings
such fiscal stops and starts
cultivating stricken earth
boss war knows how
torching earth with indignant fire
there is no horizontal or vertical anymore
let loose relentless scorching war
outline grief and gore
expect despondent trees
struggling to survive
flies and worms
madly proliferating
as treachery and madness is contrived
replenishing war's true desire
everything that war derives
diminishing hope and peace
sense and sensibility abstain
truth remains hidden and contained
detain everything
smothering invasion is incited
mother country and moody glorified war
crudely smearing unrestrained
war's gratification of blood and guts
rudely spattered by death and more
twisted war's morbid desire
peace blinded and deaf with this demise
gruesome terror and lurid gore
wanton war's putrid gift and phallic prize
boasted with razor words from snarling lips
war makes peace
flippant war with its lying eyes

               * * *

 

 

after the war
there is always
that fetid clime
rank enemy
drunk and horrified
damned time
everyone mortified
there are no winners
lips remain curled
suffer everything and losers
except fat cat profiteers
grinding up the world
sporting garrulous sneers
fear with rank cruelty
excavated from deep within
those careless twisted souls
carved from dark hearts
nothing is sanctified
all those raging fires they lit
whiners yet winners
ultra-rich kin with kit
reforming their kindred law
spouting worldly lines and lies
ratified pejorative
arms dealers and drug rackets
fueling slave markets
skin and souls
planting battlefields
blood and bones
buried mines
civilization further stratified
a brazen civility test
morals of yours and mine
crested with treasured space
midst lost peace and time
crime and profit vows
those gangster places
everything morality detests
measured existence satisfied
nightmares and immoral weather
brands and masks of leather
coverings and certain faces
pain and overt suffering
roughly marking this unholy mess

                        * * *

 

there's a giant wave
rising out of a vast ocean
amounting to grapple
crash over us
wrestle with formidable earth

there's a humongous wave
nature's prize engraved with pure emotion
mountains of cripple
raze over us
bristle with this feral birth

unplug the fridge
cancel your appointments
disconnect your phone
say goodbye to us
throw the baby out with the bathwater

there is a gargantuan wave
heaven's poetry in motion
surmounting every universal ripple
appraising time with all this fuss
walk naked again upon this changing earth

pull out your teeth
revise every privilege
chop off your feet
unshackle spirit if you must
sleep with ill-begotten hatred that doesn't matter

there is a monster wave
seven billion plagues in this disastrous potion
life on stage with an earth shattering pimple
confuse and craze with all this current muss
rescind purity and beauty for what that's worth

pluck out your eyes
strangle all your happy dreams
cut out your discordant tongue
smother passion as well as lust
what once was just thought has now begun

each vicious wave
advancing from a viscose ocean
soul shattering events that won't be simple
tormenting mother earth as well as us
lasting sorrow has been unearthed

we are just human
bleeding flesh and broken bones
spirit and soul that are just being
nothing more than feeling and seeing
hearts and minds that can't stop reeling

                      * * *

 

when we arrived
drifting down
descending from the sky
like a shooting star in the night
all those things
that seem contrived
which way to turn
all those you's
all those I's
weave left or right
what to see
where to look
all those images
captured in our minds
always pondering
what could come
always wondering
what would leave
this terrestrial human kind
breathing and upright
wearing hearts on our sleeves
exploring this world
searching for all
we want and need
measuring decent morals
those which make us human
what might we find
discovering advent oracles
would God mind
if the world stopped turning
or is this provincial earth
orbiting an orb brightly burning
just a blip in God's third eye
and what about us
all this eternal consumption
perhaps God is blind
to all our infernal corruption
perhaps God makes no assumption
we're manufacturing consent
withholding true redemption
as we struggle with ascension
without factoring in
divinity and discontent
rarely realizing
God's compassionate dissension
once in a blue moon visualizing
love's ultimate creation

                  * * *

 

this dry water
filtering through
a tight knit
sieve of life
a river bed of galaxies
stones and boulders
pools and rapids
journey down
mountains and canyons
every dry drop
like every breath
from zootic heaven
cytoplasm and blood
this creative miracle of life
so many heartbeats
emergence
from deep within
this dry water
everywhere
flowing everything
so freely given

          * * * 

 

there you go again
looking death in the eye
selling your soul
to the devil
there it all goes again
despairing despair
plainly in disguise
after going down
on your creator
your bearded face
smeared with starlight
tasting like mother earth's pussy
there you go again
wretchedly unwhole
speaking with the devil
a man in a clown disguise
all those garrulous lies
going farther down
seeking some soul saving revelation
speaking about karmic innovation
reeling over a plethora of icons and graphics
sensing hell on every flashing screen
stars and lights on your devilish device
notwithstanding more diabolical advice
there they go again
more propaganda and z-tanks
roaring up the country road
frankly death realized
dressed in death's tragic mode
camouflaged from prying eyes

                     * * *

 

there's a seagull on my shoulder
a hummingbird inside my ear
I have a song sparrow lifting my being
a bronze turkey rifling through my fear
in my mind I see a soaring eagle
in my heart all those birds are dear
there's an albatross traveling with my soul
a wise old owl teaching me to see things clearer
there's a dinosaur egg in my belly
a pterodactyl chewing on my life
raptors make me quiver like a bowl of jelly
I've been captured as Raven's token
encapsulated by a cuckoo bird on telly
I imagine a nest where life is best
in native tongues the birds have spoken
as we migrate through this lifetime test
