Owl Series: II
I. Predator
Does she stain
the thinly-knitted mulch
in marks of prayer;
a hunter notching
a blackened tip before the brook,
a pause before the mercy?
Her flex exposed,
silks a stone into dialects
of existence.
There, skimming the hills,
tracing their peaceful line
in bells and falls,
she responds-
to a boast of the softness
of a wind's palate
which busies all that reaches
below her view's dangle.
Those who are enticed,
question...

Dans le Pays de Colline: L'appel du Vide
Kangaroos are suicidal.
That seems ab-
rupt. Ha*(see later) absolutely,
let us start
with the deer.
Choice of poison: sprightly
Sidecars. We shore mailboxes.
I rarely see red
flags anymore, doe.
A Hill Country halt
on asphalt. Anthrax.
Idea of a joke;
putting antlers
on mailboxes*. These Texans.
I lost count
their odorless stink
when fifty dented bumpers
stream
plow an end of tunnel
in the mist. Red
...

druid observations
winter is summer
the same tree pushed under coastal ice
and then dense by hazelnuts
the windshield gets a scraping
almost blinding a curve
both times all times uncovered
of unrelenting freeze and unrelenting life
spring is fall
the branch appoints itself
as a moonwalker leaping for the sun
one slow fraction of a second
bearing happily its lull
also cast off by a pull
ying and yang it cracks
it stretches it scarfs it loosens
the same person rises ...

& now the waxing sky.....
and now the waxing sky
and now the bluely bright
cool of morning runs thru
darkened avenues of night
like the wings of a butterfly
rising out of all that grief
plain and bare, all comes to it
but no strife is endless
even death is a transmutation
initiating new horizons
floating out of itself, oh beautiful,
oh beautiful like a fountain
where blind eyes blink, re-seeing,
(re-seeing to remind)
...

what the world is worth
I love the bugs in the dirt beneath my feet
I adore the sharks which feast
I think bird’s songs are nothing short of wonderful
And even a grizzly bear could put me into safety’s lull
The plants, so complicated yet simple
The water and the complicated ways it can ripple
A flying squirrel, soaring through the brush and branches
The ways in which a species advances
A spider, the originators of fine art
A snake coiled around my arm
A groundhog, burrowed deep inside the earth
These things and others is what the world is worth
I adore the sharks which feast
I think bird’s songs are nothing short of wonderful
And even a grizzly bear could put me into safety’s lull
The plants, so complicated yet simple
The water and the complicated ways it can ripple
A flying squirrel, soaring through the brush and branches
The ways in which a species advances
A spider, the originators of fine art
A snake coiled around my arm
A groundhog, burrowed deep inside the earth
These things and others is what the world is worth

Fight against the tiger
Ride the tiger, don’t be a liar.
Show your true self, reveal what’s inside of ya.
Kill the devil that lives inside your mind.
It think it’s time to show your razor smile.
Teeth bared, hands balled in fists,
Fight against the bottomless pit,
There must be a way out of this I have no doubt.
Fly on the tiger mind through the clouds.

Question!!!
Do y'all believe in speciesism? I didn't even know it was a concept. I know the majority of readers of this post will be non vegetarians and I heard two pov's- their lifestyle, their choice and second that it's a simple concept where we're hurting and eating animals. What do y'all think? It should be a concept or is it an annoying truth?

Little Whiskers(Big Balls)
Little whiskers with big balls
Scurries round and leaves his sign
Let’s me know he is hanging round
Feel some affection for little one but
Can’t have him shittin and pissin
In my less than humble abode
Tiny man struttin all over
Even up on the bathtub
Just one kernel
To let me know that he knows
He’s a little man with some big balls
I set the trap but he dances around
He seems to sense what it’s all about
Tiny guy with twitching whiskers
Struts all around
Almost want to name him and ...
Scurries round and leaves his sign

Blame the prey
You can tell the sheep
to look less delicious,
but that won't prevent the wolves
from getting hungry.
