ghost ship - maine

leaves

leaves giggle and chortle their way to the ground
well prepared they wait on high for a tricky breeze
and ease themselves off launching into the stratosphere with
grand aplomb this is it
they squeal with delight
here I go for one mad, crazy ride...
down down whirling and cavorting
for a few brief but brilliantly giddy seconds
it could be the culmination of their life's work
the dream of every great leaf for that amazing rush!
that one thrill!
or perhaps
it's for something more zen...
the post-rush
the after-leap
the satisfaction
lazing like spent lovers
cradled in soft grass beneath the spreading tree
it must feel good to lie there knowing
their part is done
simply enjoying the moment
empty of thought or need
been and being...

you've got to be CRAZY said the man in the
numbat fleck suit - this COFFEE IS RIDICULOUS
Perculatorially speaking - the pernicious zen
of the man, a fable, a fop.
Stands of Cypress and bluebonnet blankets
caressed his vexed mind and a fickle
fancy he'd once embraced now left him
daunted and bereft.
I think on red wine and cheeses - he sprang
to life! Cheeses! On a Sunday. But it was
Saturday and the joke was lost.

trees : part one

I like trees
a lot
but some people don't
people that don't like trees generally suck
I've never met someone that disliked trees and didn't suck
and if they did not suck
I probably would never get to know that about them
because I would have walked off
long before ever having got to any redeeming part of the
conversation
they would have been blabbing on about their right wing
fossil fuel loving forest decimating rights or some shit crap
and my eyes would have glazed over as my brain shut down any
hope of connection
and I would have programmed by brain to start searching out
another glass of that nice earthy cab sav and maybe some
smoked gouda...
that's if we were at a party
which I wouldn't want to be if I had to talk to people like that



snotcicles grand canyon
plunge - frozen waterfall


it's good here, it's all good, but i'm
dreaming of california
and a suntan.
it's summer here too - and there's H2O
but i'm dreaming of california
and a six foot swell.
i am paddling out past the breakers
to where the ocean ripples like a glassy blanket
of cool mystery
rocking
endless undulating
i could float and float
could ride a current southward
all the way down the coast
i could lose sight of the shore
and still be carried
south south south to mexico
it's good here, it's all good and green
but i'm dreaming of blazing bougainvillea
salty azure
and my feet sinking into sand
it's good, it's all good here
but my feets knows where they wanna go



EQUUS


awareness caressing form
all muscle
and lean sinew
unwasted
sensual
kinetic

long mane lifting in the wind
now long mane whipping racing behind

dancing hoof
splashing shallow water

breathing heavy steam in evening air
eyes reflecting
bold
thoughtful

i stay still
dream of ancient communion
and long to ride and ride


icicle

moon

we stare at the same moon
drifting path across dark sky
soothing desire
souls shadow weighty blushing deep
anxious
pious
dear god that put such beautious thing up there for all to see
grant me rest from tingling
and imaginings blessing/curse

thoughts wander blissfully unkempt
barefoot and brazen
doe-eyed hussy lust

yep!

day

to what do I owe this pleasure I said to the monkey
he was stout and adroit
I am cantilevered and flick flack front and back
I too am wobbly
but put me in water and I blob a might successfully
excellent quoth he
and grabbing me by the hand made off with me
down along a dirt road
the one you see in pictures
and long to see where it goes
the one with the bend in it so you can't quite make out...
but know it's special
a clearing?
a gap? more road?
there is always more road
you can get to the beach turn right and follow it up the coast
or march right in
if we were not so much air breathing
we would have tromped along the ocean floor
all the way to mexico
and we'd have wound up on the other shore
with cocktails and sunglasses
