Rain...
quiet hauntings
of small ghost
arabesque gently
to earth...
drowning...
returns as flower
life.

Arcane creatures.
Phantom symbols.
Ceremonies...
convenience of consciousness.
Formless words of half thought
edge drearly along a mourners
river.
Noiseless,
grey,
blessings .

undisgarded
the sunsets have
turned Hemingway
red
the moon is drunk
on martinis and
stagger home
through the
night sky
my dreams hold me in
their hands as if i
were an empty
candy bar
wrapper
thoughts become
vermin in a
church as
another
cigar
burns
and time lays as
thin as the
footprints
of a robin
in falling
snow
yet, somehow,
someway
we all
endure
we all
go on
we all
find a
way

cassandra
sitting in an
old chair in
the dusk
of the
day
she walks into
the room and
stands next
to the
chair
I look down to see
sunshine blond
hair and eyes
as blue as
summer
raindrops
the expression
on her face
is a field
without
flowers
I ask her,
"are you feeling
sad?"
with a small nod,
she climbs up
on my lap and
rest her head
against me...
and we sit
there...
in that old chair

I-Ching, You-Ching, We All Ching
without sadness,
happiness would
be just another
word.
without anger,
serenity would
be unknown.
without fear, how
would courage
show it's face?
without hate, love
would be a guessing
game.
give and
take,
the dark ages,
the renaissance's
of our existence.
despite our
insistences,
regardless
of all our
protest,
it can be no
other way.

Dear Kurt
it's been twenty
plus years since
you cured your
addiction and
left the flanneled
ghost of a generation
to wander the
rainy streets of
Seattle looking
for their next
fix

sword of the mind
do not let your mind
be a rabbit darting
wildly about, fleeing
from the foxes pursuit
instead, let it be like
the alligator lying still
beneath slow moving
waters waiting for the
antelope to stop and
drink
let go of fear and
expectations
let all things come
to you
be a rabbit darting
wildly about, fleeing
from the foxes pursuit
instead, let it be like
the alligator lying still
beneath slow moving
waters waiting for the
antelope to stop and
drink
let go of fear and
expectations

to you

that's enough
these small moments
of miracles:
sitting,
reading a
newspaper,
drinking orange
juice...
and so many
others...
these pockets of
quiet,
these tiny oases
of stillness
can not stop
war, heal
disease, or
cease the
spinning of
the world
but these small
moments of
miracles can
keep us from
the asylum doors
for another day,
and sometimes
that's enough
of a miracle
in, and of,
itself.

the big picture
an emperor
sitting upon
a throne
a poor man
down to his
last few morsels
a beautiful black
and red monarch
butterfly perched
atop a pile of cow
dung in a meadow
all things in order
all things in place
who are WE to argue
with the universe
