Of Moss And Pride
I the child of green
fit fine to forest floors
the bed of moss under Mother of pearl crush leaf to folded arm
we stretch together every vine tip to tree
the mushroom morel and may-apple dram
that Ash and Oak press on
the weight of them
staggers this lay of land
I watch the holler meander down protected valleys, kissed by honeysuckle and silver bedded streams
we eat of raspberry, blackberry and elder licking sweet nectar whilst thinking jam
tap slowly the maple tree and let firm the sap
sugar-cubes to hand awaiting Winters...

Early evening
The day gives way tonight
The child cries.
Tranquil is the sea
Ripples onshore as tar
Absent is the wind
Autumnal darkness
Impatient winter waits
Storm knocks on windows
Frost cracks on timber
Snow makes the land secretive
Will there be a spring?
Spring after rain-fall
Aromatic is the landscape
Broods climbing trees
Early evening

Will there be a spring?
Spring after rain-fall

Angel Eyes (A Witche's Tale)
and so
the man came and told
the frightened woman
of her husband's demise
that soldier
a true man of honor
who called her angel eyes
then when he left
she grabbed a
white cloth
dampened it
a little
wiped her eyes with it
and cried out
to no one
she grabbed up
the string of beads
where they lay in
the wooden box
she kept it in
along with...

Talking Tree From Boston
Tribute:
The essence of me
Wrapped inside a fluffy tree
That’s where you’ll find me

costly stones
costly stones
the mountain partly hid the lake
was crystal clear and warm
they swam across to the river where its outlet was
we were looking for costly stones.
The lake got shallow, and they waded, but could
not find any pricey stones.
When they waded back, the lake had retracted back
into the mountain, it was now a cave.
They picked some stones and decided to return
next day.
When they did the lake was blood- red and saw
nothing of interest
They did not know why the pool
was red thought the reason was it had taken...

The dance before their death
At a relaxed green evening,
While diving in a natural hot spring,
Where there was not a big natural fire burning,
I spotted some rare kettle flying below nettle silver clouds.
They landed,
And my prayer was answered.
They were jostling, hissing, and singing,
I was dancing.
Some were urinating,
Some were feeling the cold,
Some were in hardcore,
Some in moan.
The scene set the best natural thetre,
It had everything from heaven to earth,
Feeling disguised - left the theatre in the second half mid, ...

In the zephyr of a whim
she climbed my trunk
and went out on a limb
---blowed where no nephelliad
ever soughed before or had
considered worthy of being
boughed
and went out on a limb
---blowed where no nephelliad
ever soughed before or had

Nomadic Love
I walked half way across the desert
I stopped to rest in the shade of a cactus and a lady walked up trying to flirt
Hot and sandy as hell, and she's wearing a tube top and a mini skirt
She offered for the right amount of water she could really make my dick hurt
I sailed half way across the ocean
For enough water to share and a venereal disease curing potion
While approaching an iceberg, I mean that fucking far out
There was a dude that I fucking knew right there with his fucking hand held out
I invited him to follow me for two more blocks ...

I’m Posting Like There’s No Tomorrow
.because for some
there won’t be
and much like me
in evacuation zone 3
they’ll go to bed
in a forest of dreams
waking up as ashes
...instead

Less Than Skeleton Crews Fighting Wildfires
Someone is responsible
for saving
only some homes
Someone is reprehensible
...is there a reason
they’re unchecked?
I know it’s not
our firemen
or our fire chiefs
It’s a mighty
political
eco-terrorist
holding office
...I am sure
if anyone can help us
we need better
local government
we need more forest
management
for saving
only some homes
Someone is reprehensible
...is there a reason
they’re unchecked?
I know it’s not

or our fire chiefs
It’s a mighty
political
eco-terrorist
