26 thru 34 of 34

Ascension too fast
Lungs explode before tongues meld
alive once again

Fine pointillism
clarity from a distance
planets at the edge

Shout hallelujah
frenzied oxygenation
salt water on lips

Accelerating
behind us time looms ahead
wrapped implicitly

Love again refrains
adrift on sunny sandbars
palm fruits, dates, acai

We are young again
stellate beings thrice reborn
twice kissed we are alone

Two swimmers azure
water beaded sky blues hope
refracted visions

Before words we were
nothing, pointed subtlety
essentially stars

Will never lose me
mouthed indistinguishably
there underwater

18 thru 25 of 34

Suddenly without
love’s denouement sings sadly
still ache crescendos

Massive cores collapse
passages to yesterday
bridges to Other

Melody solo
lost, searching harmonically
hearts rapt atonal

When stars burn cooler
life has opportunity
everywhere blue worlds

Shall never find me
resounds off wet chamber walls
where echos loiter

The scent of Goddess
permeates all creation
sweet salinity

A flickering flame
somewhere a flue, air to breathe
pinpoint light quite dim

Life is atmosphere
creatures born to see the light
watercolorists

10 thru 17 of 34

Circular water
too near the edge of the falls
the promise to drown

Godspeed is lightspeed
we see until we are blind
not invisible

Holding fast they plunge
in momentary freefall
defying the crush

We are dark matter
more of us than meets the eye
feel our gravity

Two plummet headfirst
upturned soles to God’s heaven
the tickle of love

Ripped seams in space-time
blessed beings emerge headfirst
the dead prefer breach

Plumes of graceful froth
envelop twin beating hearts
up until the sere

Nothing left to burn
suns die everyday out here
to leave voids of love

1 thru 3 of 34

Stars are formed in clouds
of gas and dust, nebulae
nuclear at core

The eddies mist cold
lavender melts under snow
bleeds purple on white

Stars provide enough
energy brightly for years
the exact lifetime

8-Sideways

Every addict
seeks infinity

With Intent

Though the most heinous deeds
cannot shatter our faith in humanity,
one small act of kindness and civility
can wholly rekindle it

Canopy Five

I've been practicing a lot of bebop lately
playing heads and I'm running riffs and I
notice the birds in the trees 'round my way 
are trilling and stretching out more on their chorus

Throughout Light

reflect the imperceptible
flutter of butterfly

shadow the slow
fade of the lash

backlight the winged
convocation of eagle

way above
the canopy

at the base of the blade
of scented grass

linger the day's
closing rays

Requiem

on my way inside
I pass a furry bee
busy by the screen door

she is beautiful
in sunlight

I say 
Take care of things
out here while I'm gone!

Full Circle

to be 
post-modern 
when the modern age 
hasn't yet ended

behind in these times
so gratefully, gracefully

a gull over water 
arcs in a breeze
deep deafened hurtle 
to drown head-first

in life

one foot 
in front of some other
one-at-a-time
once 

upon a time,
this silent oath:
I am
