consoler

and listen
to the carolers singing
be blessed

fireside talking
to fire
so I listen

love joy and peace
of mind
contact lenses

flame’s sign
healing with spirit
filled the room
blue light

brought here to experience
healthy

bee’s

like weeds
we grew together
magic garden
food
here’s a peak
good amounts of sunshine
everything
needs to know

this is our home
next to the highway
driven past daily
look no further
outside your window
take the driveway then
off with the shoes
and walk

you me and flowers
attractive bee’s

finally born

born Amish
imagine that
hand picked
by the big guy
carry the mission
buggy and horse

born polish
let’s make some sausage
buy some intestines
filled with ground stuff
so tasty
imagine that

born Irish
the wall crucifixion
saints in every room
chasing the savior
reality in glasses
so simple so pure

far sightedness

invisibly connected
to living
what should I call it
ancient traditions made
modern the essence
internal and everlasting
desire minus shame
love lives inside you
as a portal
no brief moment
becomes transcendent
a tool for awakening
tasting you breathe
surrenders into dept
then magic happens
no pretending
just a map
to understanding
no longer broken
listening to honesty
raw messy and sensitive
hidden under your skin
and discovered

another sandy hook
another minneapolis

dec 2012
Aug 2025

and in-between

to qualify
to be a mass shooting
at least 4 people
need to be injured
or killed
not counting the shooter

so
since 12 dec 2012 until 27 Aug 2025

4,642 mass shootings
2,476 deaths
19,252 injured
and
4,641 days

4 hours

West Virginia
NPR
4 hours of
cherished classical music
every morning
bending
until the afternoon

who
would have thought

a one and miss Terry
and of course
all things considered
ending in a mountain
song

Blue lake

at the bue lake
winter ice and snow
hearing summer
an oboe concerto
on the grass
on a blanket
tasting
the pine trees breathe

To David (dfw)

Gonna go
shit myself
do
you want to watch

madness in the details
almost a joke
think
I will
make another record

serene

life
the pure twisted gift
heartbeat adjusting
to daylight

love
the magical word
heard with one ear
open
back to surrender

drama fought
by somebody else
met with
unreal failure
making exists
walking in shoes
full of
life

eleventh wonder

one at a time
let’s go disappear
eat some cheese
melted
defining ignorance
then it fizzled
a body sculptured
in silence
called another craze

today
will set myself on fire
bury my ashes

picture this
hitchhiking
the road open
life without seatbelts
the thrill of the destination
