He Worked, He Drank
He worked
He worked
He worked
and worked
He drank
He drank
He drank
and drank
His job wasn't to far from his home
He would walk home the same route every day
It wasn't the greatest neighborhood
Hobo's were always near the liquor store he would stop by each evening
He'd buy a bottle and have it finished by the time he arrived home
Trash littered the streets & sidewalks
He would always look down to see if any scratch-offs were thrown on the ground
Once he found a used scratch-off that had a 2 dollar...

Raphium Series~Chaos
I'm hurting and I'm lost on the Sea of Forgetfulness
Chaos is reigning and I feel at odds with everything
inside my sacredness my spirit child is waiting for me to anchor us
I look to Pleiades to guide my way home
this isn't my original stasis
I wish to shift forms
I am deeply saddened by the war
people are slipping sideways under the weight,
the wait of it all
I sing to the hopeful
quietly, I give comfort
it hurts this world
my anger boils and I want to defend the weak
I didn't know the Earth was so...

I wanted to see how it felt
And you know what ?
It felt good ....
And you know what ?
It felt good ....

LEFT BY OUR LOVE
I'm stripping our bed,
just-showered, naked,
while you make your way
into working day.
Blanket I pull off,
then top sheet I doff,
sweep both to the floor
like a matador.
Undersheet's ruffled,
where bodies tussled.
I stop to reflect,
memory's effect.
On sheet, white as dove,
stain, left by our love,
remains in the day
to be washed away.
I smile with a glow,
that our overflow
has left evidence
to sight and smell sense.

Nova Scotia strong
There’s a slowness in my body,
heaviness in my heart.
The world goes on around me
as I’m sitting here, apart.
It’s not exactly sadness,
though tears do often come;
just lacking motivation,
feeling unfocused and numb.
Tomorrow we’ll remember
tragedy so hard to bear;
I didn’t really know those lost,
but grief hangs in the air.
We’ve held each other through so much -
there’s nothing we can’t weather.
What makes us “Nova Scotia strong”
is tears and songs – together.

Golden Empire
The landscape changes every ten miles in each direction
Ranches and fields to the south and west
A brown panorama due to fracking in the north
And large farms to the east, leading to the mountains
To the southern tip of the Sierras
Although most of the town is flat
On the outskirts
The roads move up and down with the terrain
Where the land is open and wide
On the highways you can drive for miles
And see nothing but fields
You can see the migrant workers
Working under the hot summer sun
Working in the harshest...

Your Shelter
this is your poem
written with love
i see your story
feel your scars
i will start a fire
guide you home
& warm you up
ease your pain
tracing ley lines
of forsaken ink
read your dark
deserted pages
hold your fears
wipe away your
tears & trust me
i won't let you go
let me build you
a forever home
and make it our
own sacral place
if you wish to stay
come hide with me
i promise you are safe
written with love
i see your story
feel your scars
i will start a fire
guide you home
& warm you up
ease your pain
tracing ley lines
of forsaken ink
read your dark
deserted pages
hold your fears
wipe away your
tears & trust me
i won't let you go
let me build you
a forever home
and make it our
own sacral place
if you wish to stay
come hide with me
i promise you are safe

ahh am i imagining this..
what a start of a day today!
the one-worded daily calender
astrology too .. says its a ‘trouble’
for my ‘raasi’ moonsign’: mesham
so a cancerously ’immobilising’
an inevitable ‘stop press’.. in an
accumulated infectious benumbing
mountainous petrifications.. that
perplexingly.. either feels as an
overly felt in bleed & pains.. as dying
each moment .. a lamping flame
still sparkly unwaveringly bright..
warrioring anything.. not just to ...

The S.S. Steward Ship
It's every man for himself, they say,
On our sinking ship of state
And god help those who get in the way
Of America's free enterprise trait...
Always sharpening its dozer blade
To plough and pave more dreamy streets
Where industry and ownership trade
Mother nature for new motorcar fleets
Parked on a patch we pretend to own,
As aristocrats on sovereign earth,
But where indebtedness is what gets grown
When only mortgages are giving birth,
Which poorly treats god given soil
Almost as bad as fracking oil.
On our sinking ship of state
And god help those who get in the way
Of America's free enterprise trait...
Always sharpening its dozer blade
To plough and pave more dreamy streets
Where industry and ownership trade
Mother nature for new motorcar fleets
Parked on a patch we pretend to own,
As aristocrats on sovereign earth,
But where indebtedness is what gets grown
When only mortgages are giving birth,
Which poorly treats god given soil
Almost as bad as fracking oil.

Dream unfolded
From that corner you can see the house
Anchored to the dogs in the sun (dormant)
As if the river no longer had teeth
Absorbed in his thoughts
Silent as barked birch trees
Still floating in a volatile stillness
Once the war is lost, we have to hold on to the air
Write the laws in washed stone
Repeat the litany of saints (dormant)
Treating everything like there is no tomorrow
Again and again, and once again
Leave the wings against the wall
Hear the wind pass and carry the feathers
Rhyming river with house...
Anchored to the dogs in the sun (dormant)
As if the river no longer had teeth
Absorbed in his thoughts
Silent as barked birch trees
Still floating in a volatile stillness
Once the war is lost, we have to hold on to the air
Write the laws in washed stone
Repeat the litany of saints (dormant)
Treating everything like there is no tomorrow
Again and again, and once again
Leave the wings against the wall
Hear the wind pass and carry the feathers
Rhyming river with house...

Stillicide
On the day the UK drowned
the sun’s shoulders broke,
slumping the sunset into eternal twilight
All one underwater breath,
deep sea divers tried to pack
the sea into suitcases
Baggage bridled waves
o’er castles and housing estates,
stealth, the ravens skyfall
legends written on drowned pirates’ skulls,
(full fathom) five brides on continental shelf
coral and pearls are merely crust on sunken ships
travelling light
can life rafts only hold one soul?
stowed in hearth of jigsaw’ed city
flames cripple...
the sun’s shoulders broke,
slumping the sunset into eternal twilight
All one underwater breath,
deep sea divers tried to pack

Baggage bridled waves

legends written on drowned pirates’ skulls,
(full fathom) five brides on continental shelf
coral and pearls are merely crust on sunken ships

can life rafts only hold one soul?
stowed in hearth of jigsaw’ed city
