Hokkaido Maiden
Hokkaido Maiden
Dawn of the kabuki spirit
Rises like a Hokkaido mist
When cold north winds blow
Across her pale winter complexion
Painted like snow
With lips pink like morning
With the glitter in her eyes
Blue as her birthstone
But often clouded by doubt
And dirty blonde tresses
Soaked in sunshine
Of ancient cherry blossom
Reborn
Dawn of the kabuki spirit
Rises like a Hokkaido mist
When cold north winds blow
Across her pale winter complexion
Painted like snow
With lips pink like morning
With the glitter in her eyes
Blue as her birthstone
But often clouded by doubt
And dirty blonde tresses
Soaked in sunshine
Of ancient cherry blossom
Reborn

Lady of the Sea
Lady of the Sea
Dark shade of red for waxed brows
Arched roof for sea nymph pi eyes
Whose infinity circles prophetess gaze
Into blue-eyed Elgin marble of love
With her lips parted ever so slightly
In pink cherry blossoms of cirrus dawn
Gathered over Sea of Japan
Where she plays the Koto
For Basho pilgrims
Barefoot in the salty water
Who gather Nori from the rocks
For Sushi dreams on the way to Satori
Where her toes dangle on the edge of eternity
Dark shade of red for waxed brows
Arched roof for sea nymph pi eyes
Whose infinity circles prophetess gaze
Into blue-eyed Elgin marble of love
With her lips parted ever so slightly
In pink cherry blossoms of cirrus dawn
Gathered over Sea of Japan
Where she plays the Koto
For Basho pilgrims
Barefoot in the salty water
Who gather Nori from the rocks
For Sushi dreams on the way to Satori
Where her toes dangle on the edge of eternity

Future Whispers To The Dawn Of The Past...
Body centered, inhaling, exhaling, Dragon Blood incense bellowing, purple candle burning
Eye closing, reversing, blackness churning
Elevated, cognitive lifted, I proudly breathe as a French Haitian Creole intellectual and with blessings, gifted
Devoid the temple of all negative strife, earthly contentions
Visions passing of several dimensions
Who are you, monsieur, to you have invaded my space in the universal of man’s time
Were you ordained by the secrets of Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, God’s seeds planted to harvest the land of milk,...

High, How Are You?
I am high
like how are you and how do you do...
High
Like low oxygen low gravity low gravitas
High
Like empty
Like negative infinity and beyond
But in a way that manifests compassion,
Like hydroelectricity.
like how are you and how do you do...
High

Where is your God?
Where is your God
Who allows so much pain and misery
In this, yes, very miserable world He (or She) created?

Emptiness
when you realize
that there is no order
when you see
beyond your concepts
when everything merges
boundaries blur
when you know
your truths
are merely beliefs
constructed from within
by bricks assembled
by ignorance
and fear
when you see
that this sheet of paper
contains the entire universe
when silence
says it all
that there is no order
when you see
beyond your concepts
when everything merges
boundaries blur
when you know
your truths
are merely beliefs
constructed from within
by bricks assembled
by ignorance
and fear
when you see
that this sheet of paper
contains the entire universe
when silence
says it all

Anonymity
I like that you all do not know who I am,
because then it will not hurt as much when I go-
you probably will not even know.

the homily
The homily
At the church entrance
Beggars line up when the sermon is over
The parishioners in the warm feeling of faith
Give beggars coins.
God’s work be done.
The cripple gets up and leave
At the church entrance
Beggars line up when the sermon is over
The parishioners in the warm feeling of faith
Give beggars coins.
God’s work be done.

This Is Not My Solipsism -1
Rattlesnake:
I definitely did not create rattlesnake,
or anything else that can kill me by biting me,
with my mind.

luminaria
luminaria
rice paper dreams
from the haunted luminaria
a starry oasis for souls
they are like rocks in a Zen garden
but which glow
and whose islands are those of Japan
with the homes of people
made luminous by lanterns
as the spirits of the heike
whose souls are restless
as cherry blossoms
stirred by the gypsy moth hypnotism
of moonbeam delight

Disinthrallment Egresses
14 / 30
Disinthrallment Egresses
Unfettered, entering
into a solace of
emptiness
casting off all possessions
(though & while missing
My Entity)
I shed all “stuff”
asking for only food
& drink while I exist
and think.
Beings and being all
---- Buddhas, this very iota in time
chains and severs possessions
if
We relax and let a cosmic universal
Prajnaparamita take on the task
in our lives and or on our behalf.
Liberty
Freedom
o similar will...

Lunar zen
13 / 30
Lunar zen
Summer nights
reunites
me with my
long time
Pagan Goddess.
Tepid winds
Dust Devils
dancing
running
amok.
Scorching dark
takes nothing
from Selene’s
Brilliance
for her lunar
full
Is ever a constant
reassurance
in my timeline.
Natural
In nature
zen & witchcraft
parallel join
& separate
enable me to
scale the
pitfall’d laden
jebel laid
before my
pilgrimaged
path.
