BACK TO RETRO REVERSE INTROVERSION AGAIN (12:00am, 5-16-2022, Palm Springs, California)
ive so unsettlingly
noticed
increasingly
over these last
four or five years
and now
more than ever
it seems
that whenever
i find myself
in social gatherings
of almost any kind
where theres
more than
three or four
people
or even friends
ive known for years
at times
depending to some degree
at least
upon the situation
and the unpredictable mix
of egoic personalities
fluctuating
individual moods
temperaments
and the ever shifting
flow
of other such ...

SHADOW DANCE (7-23-2000, Galveston Island, Texas)
morning sun
throws its warm gold
across upon into
my shirtless
back
as its all embracing
bright light
brands this long road
up ahead of me
as i ride
and roll on
my bike
ever further
into this strong
western
salty gulf breeze
as my shadow
precedes me
along this remote
open beach road
fleetingly hiding
in other shadows
i occasionally
pass through
along my way
where larger tree shadows
so...

LIFE'S LIGHT (8-9-2000, 5:00am, Galveston Island, Texas)
life lives
life gives
life provides
when thanks
from true gratitude
is frequently
given
in return
and when
that given
freely in return
is selflessly shared
and freely
given back again
with all
of life
receiving and giving
in unconditional
equal return
for when life
and all those
receiving
and giving
consciously strive
to keep on
giving
and sharing
the gifts
of lifes light
freely
with others
life thrives
and keeps
the ongoing cycle...

WIND MOUNTAIN MORNING ('A CHEWENA SONG of ASSIMILATION') 7-4-2000, on Wind Mountain, near Tres Piedras, New Mexico
sunrise reveals
pink bands of clouds
stretching out above
wind mountain
out over this vast
glorious horizon
a continuous flow
of far off
mountain lines
that rise and fall
in distant shadows
of blue gray slopes
silent song
of earths great circle
surrounds me here
awakening
all across
throughout
this vibrant sea
of boundless land
in gently rolling hills
and plains
of cactus rock
and sagebrush calling
standing still here
in this calm ...

SAND CYCLES (5-11-2000, Galveston Island, Texas)
lying down to sleep
as old day slips away
funneled through
the upturned hourglass
of my surrendered mind
until the alarm clock
signals me
with soft music
turned down low
leading me gently
up and out
of sleeps receding hole
away from all my
now lapsed
dreamland wanderings
spontaneous journeys
gone
strange mysteries
soon forgotten
slipped away like sand
sunk back into that darker world
of deep subconscious
gravity
as i awaken peacefully
into whatever

JOURNEYMAN (7-28-1999, Galveston Island, Texas)
i am a journeyman
deep in the machinery
of dreams
in my head
careening through scenes
upon iron wheels
screaming
on tracks laid ahead
by conscious
and subconscious things
not yet lived
nor said
that unfold
in the depths
of these dark inner fields
where in visions
i roam
so randomly led
by the real
and unknown
somewhere beyond
my minds control
another dimension
where perhaps
i can retrieve
something good to bring back
to benefit this world
where i am most...

RUNAWAY TRAIN (3-25-2000, 3:00-4:00am, Galveston Island, Texas)
another long day
left me extra
tired tonight
now three a m
and sleep so far
still
nowhere in sight
to be found
despite the fact
my runaway mind
is still on track
but its rushing wheels
are not yet
slowing down
for its worn out
brakes
showed signs
of failing
nearly two hours
back
when the conductor
first lost
all mechanical
and physical control
now something
in me...

NEW BORN SUN BEAM SONGS (June 1st, 2022, 5:30am, Palm Springs, California)
sweet
flinging flaming
fiery tongues
of cosmic
sun beam songs
unheard
unsung
by all ears here
except
my own
yet felt as well
vibrationally singing
throughout
my skin
my blood and bones
into my hands
sweet
three digited
finger hold
around onto
and on throughout
this manic pens
quietly channelled
free release
of mystically rooted
flowing inks ...

HIV - 92 (1992, Galveston Island, Texas)
5 a m
lost adrift
here again
in the wee hours
of early morning
im not surprised
at all
for its not
the first night
nor first time
outer and inner traumas
have combined
to link up into
these heavy
knotted chains
ive stayed up
all night
feeling unable
to set myself free from
much less
sufficiently describe
unable to unlock
break or escape
until hour after hour
of all these
nights without sleep
have all lapsed
slipped sleeplessly away

WATERLOGGED FOOL FOR LOVE (4-30-2022, 3:30am, Palm Springs, California)
oh waterfall
my waterfall
how could you
ever fall
for me
when regardless
of my shallow
doubts
it seems
here now
in retrospect
that you somehow
still nonetheless
both
did and do
and as
you fell for me
i could not
help but
fall for you
or so i thought
at the time
as only such
a hopelessly romantic
fool like me
can do
to such a degree
as i have here
for you
as well ...

FROM DUSK TO DAWN FROM DUST TO STONE (4-24-2022, 11:30am, Palm Springs, California)
upon waking
every morning
i pause
to linger
to softly reflect
on whatever
dreams
may have
come along
into and through me
throughout
the night
from dusk
to dawn
that i
can still recall
as well as
other dreams
i may have
had
i cant recall
at all
that slipped away
back into
sleeps
deep voids
