THROUGH STEADY RAINS OF CONSCIOUS PURGE  (8-29-90, San Diego, California)

   
mind seeded      
     clouds    
shower blinded    
     prayers aloud    
each heart      
     drops reach        
newly fallen    
     touch    
shatters gleaming    
     upon once    
dry  parched    
     empty  
dusty streets    
     of every souls    
forgotten feelings    
     unspoken hearts    
now released    
     in quirkied    
streams  flushed      
     inner flowings    
of post    
     flash floods    
too long    
     suppressed    
symbolic  hidden    
     karmic meanings      
as long    
     lost  desert    
spirits come    
     to finally    
quench    
     at least    
for now    
     their souls    
deep  aching    
     thirst    
to drink    
     in peace    
a seas    
     release of      
liberated tears    
    in floods    
which come    
     in heavy    
rains of    
     conscious    
purge    
     to wash    
away  countless      
     years      
of such      
     sad lack    
from seemingly    
     endless      
desperation    
     clenched      
deep in      
     futile hopes      
stuck and      
     choking    
in their    
     unspeakably    
bone dry    
     throats    
until the    
     weak  tired    
power blind    
     mind    
behind mankinds    
     vast  sad    
legacy  of    
     abominable    
human crimes    
     against itself    
and all    
     creations    
broken unity    
     rails bitterly    
out  its    
     futile    
self defensive    
     stance    
in denial    
     of taking    
any responsibility    
     for its    
heinous    
     unconscionable      
acts      
     then with      
one  brief      
     last    
desperate breath    
     wastes its    
final  golden    
     opportunity      
in a    
     pathetic    
collective whimper    
    it suffocates    
itself  as    
     all it    
once held    
     and thought    
so all    
     important    
now simply    
     drowns      
with all      
     its fallen    
grievous lies    
     of empty    
artifice    
     away            
set free    
     cleansed    
at last    
     through    
sudden  
     unexpected  
heavy rains    
     of conscious    
purges  
     sweet  
release
     let go
finally
     from us
