My left hand buzzes with abandonment; Living in a ‘righteous’ world, only looking “Right” matters. Casting stones, grating bones, defaulted loans; I never left the landfill and it is still filling me. A single, glistening diamond on my cheek; compassions calls forth a companion. It rained in this city today, so say (a/e)yes/I. The philosopher’s […]
To weep freely before the cultural hymn of a symphony To speak wildly regardless both cacophony and irony To stand with intention at once serene and communally To commit as do you to peacefulness or tomfoolery To suffer no demand that benefits an individual more than the specie To endure as well as possible the […]

The illusion of self Set forth as other Using dichotomy against itself Via dakini’s warm breath The Buddha, curious, going beyond Three times gone, westward, some say Away from having and not Away from holding and not Away from giving and not A triple jewel, refracting Interlacing, the universe, Quantum nothingness; In which everything is, […]
This soft, crisp autumn Ground cooling into deep sleep Ebb point of cycle This calm, quiet fall Gone beyond the precipice Past the horizon Relativity So ironically said Perceptions vary “You” versus “me”, or, “She”, “He”, “They”, “Them”, “Us”, or “We”; Sad dichotomy Gone, gone, gone beyond, The universe of my world: A collapsing star […]
I want to sacrifice myself spread-eagle on a mountaintop; flesh-freed and soul-lifted, flit into the trees, the sky I ponder immortal impossibilities content myself with the 2nd law never dying, shifting forms, a return to the place before I was born The pun of the vas deferens: halls of the fathers, I smile; life is […]
I weep Timelord tears, some times; that was then, this is now, quiet droplets fueled by the heart of a dying sun, star stuff I think Love is the truest black hole humans ever experience; we find it and in it, that all moments, realized, are the same; the paradox of forever becomes our curse; […]

When I look at people, I see the little one that lives inside; now, ‘hide and seek’ cautious That part that hungers, from the corner, watching, whispering the question, “Do you really see me?” Not hiding all the time, occasionally, leaping forth; in moments of laughter, or surprised delight “Christmas morning” face I sometimes call […]
