Communicative Lore
22/30
Communicative Lore
incommunicable
a super BIG word
huge to even writers
thinking, knowing
more than me, you
often pushing in a face
Shit! now I / we feel
stupid.
Unable to or just plain mean
Not explaining a maybe,
Unexplainable
refuting the spiritual
discounting the very core
of ancient lore
knowing that can only be
experienced in our
ancient bones.

Palliation Eternal. no
Finally figured out the WHY,
the dominant reason why in the past
THE TRUTH – the whole of it, uncloaked
never came out while excommunicated
painting a Pariah attempting to seal
in stone with Charges approval
seemingly also, with Creator’s consent ~
Mobs, once they get into a frenzy
a full head of steam, like Lemmings,
Unable to STOP even when facts
laid out upon their repast plates
refuse to accommodate

Inanity
20/30
Inanity
Ever striving to be
being, becoming
licentious at everything
incorporating as a
practice (within anything)
rendering
enabling
inner essence void
As an empty vessel
I am now
quite capable
panoptic able
infinite virtuosity
At last, I am inherently
of sense, senses, self
without attachments
while still, quietly
not apart of all around
nor independently
free, existing
with others

Gramophone Records
19/30
Gramophone Records
Rarely did I receive even a tiny tidbit of history
World War Two took a heavy toll on many
Okinawans looking like the enemy
forced to speak their language
on the spot, killed if caught
Okinawan
To this day, my Sister adamantly says
we are Japanese.
Guessing it is more fashionable
we STILL look the part
I used to fill out forms and go with that
if I thought I would benefit
Now days, it’s either or
Asian or White
I kind of can glue a mish-mash lore

pit _a_ pat
18/30
pit _a_ pat
heartbeats for
You, others, people
redundantly
over and over
again and again
sometimes to a slow
crawl
right before
beating me up
for hearts beat
for with intent
beaten
never was a fan
racing drums
beating thrums
only the method
comes with meditation
methodically
moved, moving
with barely a
breath in between
delighted to nap
myself into a heart
stopping, stop
stopped

Ambiguous in and in Nature
17/30
Ambiguous in and in Nature
never realized until today
while trying to be attuned
5 am a few chirpings
0530 hrs, a symphony of
happiness
only nature, Birds, yes, even
effin Bees, sang happy,
I’ve always marveled at how I’ve
never seen a caterpillar
seen a baby moth
In the desert, despite
Spring, forcing itself on summer
I know for a FACT, them changelings exists
I have many a hole ridden shirts
attesting this sneak attack
No matter what many believe
Nature is...

Imitate / Originate
16/30
Imitate / Originate
I’ve ever sided with the Moon.
Her beauty, for one, is unmatched
in my tiny universe from which I
see from well crafted lenses
As far as love comes and goes,
She always delivers!!
Transmuting love and warmth
rec’d from a star (sun) stars
NO less lessens the star
nor diminishes the shine
received and reflected
Imitate?
Maybe, but more liken to
praising the original

First Summer Monsoon
15/30
First Summer Monsoon
Daily threats of the first
tepid, sometimes cool
light breezes often
partnered with wonderful
overcast skies
This pushes my mood
sitting on a beach, any beach
waves, waving, coming
tippy-toeing – Yes!!
I feel the imaginative frore
I will myself to forget
pending hell like heat
forget everything
and just breathe
or hold me breath
‘til this year’s 1st monsoon

Spider Senses a Tingling
In a fairly large Magellanic Cloud
more light years away than
I have fingers and toes to calculate
who am I not to postulate
a constellation, emulate
my favorite arachnid!
Why not! a Spider Constellation
embedded within a Nebula,
named Tarantula
in the 1750’s?
How do You suppose Explorers
came to the decision of naming?
Was it careless fright upon
a spider’s delight to see
the human fright
in a panic light, tagged
constellation the biggest ...

Woolgathering Logic?
13/30
Woolgathering Logic?
I nearly had a pretty decent spill
lost it after mindless viewing
recent latest news
Lost it but the gist of it
still exists maybe
sticky maple syrup
though I’m unable
to capture, recapture
I never liked this feeling of nothing
of something stuck to me
like Fugitive Glue
only a “ Post-it “ note
away from fruition
so many pearls lost like
today due to ---- old age?
Evidently, 5 minute speed chess
Is not the only indicator
I should be...

Tayassuidae Family, Visits
12/30
Tayassuidae Family, Visits
it’s 3am
the Squadron’s musty scent persists
7 adults, 2 of which Parents of
two cute foot-long “Reds”
no idea why
Javelinas congregate
just outside my front door
Perhaps it’s an Empath gig
natural attraction
Flora, Fauna…..Fae?
Whatever their reasons
a wee bit annoying
when I am ready to
start my day or
awaiting a
grocery delivery

Locomote
11/30
Locomote
a family of five
adults strutting “ en pointe “
the young, miniatures
giving playful chase
Our early morning walk
Me for light impact exercise
Them, I assume, looking
Bugs, worms, whatever
Reminded me of a Tap Dancer
who had not yet donned
metal plates
rendering them silent taps
tapping
This morning, one adult
flew high and very quick
never knew (or seen)
a Quail could Fly like that
