FALL’S SILENT ZEN (12-14-96, Galveston Island, Texas)
leaves fall silent
before my feet
from tree
boughs
and limbs
down to
ground
in golds
and reds
like photos
of sunsets
roses
and memories
temporarily
reblooming again
like fiery feathers
fallen
everywhere
all around
even painting
these daydream streets
with impressionistic
brush strokes
of leaves
in yellows
reds
oranges and golds ...

Russia and the Rapture (part two)
The Rapture (at the time that the Antichrist takes over the world by launching Nuclear War against America)
and the Second Coming (which ends the reign of Antichrist) are at hand.
Since the Rapture occurs WHEN Russian Attack occurs, if we can tell when that attack
is about to occur -- this gives us the date of the Rapture !!!
But HOW can we pin down the approximate date of the Russian Attack on America?
That's easy. Russia gave up Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, etc, just to trick us into DISARMING.

Six Things You Should Know About Me - An Anthology
Plug into these tunes
To honor the naked wounds
I display here for you-
[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSjSozKL_EA ]
One:
I used to be a cutter
A decade of self-inflicted torture
A variety of bangs and bruises
Cigarette burns and chemical scorches
Starving for those bones to show
Piercing safety pins where they do not go
When I asked for help- they gave me pills
At school surrounded by imbeciles
So they sent me to an out-patient hospital
They didn’t like me there; I was...

REVERENCE
a pantoum
I climb the crested hill to sit alone
Legs cross I view the world between my knees
Too long I’ve missed the reverence we’ve known
Too long I’ve been without your breath in me
Legs cross I view the world between my knees
I strike the singing bowl with mallet’s wood
Too long I’ve been without your breath in me
Too long from you the pilgrim’s life withstood
I strike the singing bowl with mallet’s wood
With even stroke in tones of purest light
Too long from you the pilgrim’s life withstood
Too long...

Haiku/Senryu Renga: CHANTINGS
( Jade-Pandora & Hepcat61)
Buddha
the one who sees all
namu amida butsu
crane on utmost branch
(geoff)
only the tree
sees the crane standing
nen nen fu ri shin
(jade)
Dharma
emptied to be filled
namu amida butsu
sun in morning fog
(geoff)
morning fog
hiding day's new sun in vain
nen nen fu ri shin ...
