Within Inks of Africa
I find myself lost on the brink
of a darkening African ink
rivers flowing up from the south
still conceal their alluvial mouth
Beyond photoshoots in the mist
more than just some bucket list
another task to then complete
sampling this life still bittersweet
Enduring harsh afternoon rain
this deeper phantom pain
from a homeland once lost
with its ever confounding cost
As I feel this...
of a darkening African ink
rivers flowing up from the south
still conceal their alluvial mouth
Beyond photoshoots in the mist
more than just some bucket list
another task to then complete
sampling this life still bittersweet
Enduring harsh afternoon rain
this deeper phantom pain
from a homeland once lost
with its ever confounding cost
As I feel this...

MYSTIC MOONLIGHTS MAASAI SPELL (3-26-89, 'Oh My God' Hot Springs, Anza Borrego Desert Badlands, Southern California)
naked beneath
my blanket draped body s
nocturnally wandering form
as i walk on
out into this raw
primal night alone
my shadow elongates
out across this vast
flat moonlit desert floor
cast under luminous
mystically soothing moonlight
my shadow elongates
horizontally before me
as it maasai s out
just ahead of me
in graceful silence
slipping stealthily over rocks
sleeping cactus and seemingly endless
miles of moonlit sands beyond
it stretches...
my blanket draped body s
nocturnally wandering form
as i walk on
out into this raw
primal night alone
my shadow elongates
out across this vast
flat moonlit desert floor
cast under luminous
mystically soothing moonlight
my shadow elongates
horizontally before me
as it maasai s out
just ahead of me
in graceful silence
slipping stealthily over rocks
sleeping cactus and seemingly endless
miles of moonlit sands beyond
it stretches...

~defenseless
in the heart of auburn equatorial sun
drumming wild with wet thunderbeats
of shrinking craniums & surfacing
uraniums- with winking tricky glints
of golden diamonds, busy feeding
the bloodied cartels
where also the social bonobos
still thrive in the feminine reigns
enriched by the gushing wide
riverine Congo & the falling high
Zongo in sand~ slurried screens
i stand (fading pale and blinded
as a frailly miniature grouped out ant ...
