Bathe in my Mind
Test the temperature
Be sure it won’t burn you
Be careful
Take caution
This is a body of water
Foreign to your skin
Be sure you are sure
Be certain you are ready
To bathe in my mind
Be sure it won’t burn you
Be careful
Take caution
This is a body of water
Foreign to your skin
Be sure you are sure
Be certain you are ready
To bathe in my mind

Even Ten More Haikus
Conjuring:
Dissociable sleight
Phantom antagonism
Never really there
In The Air:
Demonolatry
Suggestible manipulation
Poses ironic
Naked and Famous:
Personable man
Fed unto the tempest wolves
Tattering attire
Observation of Above:
Allusive heavens
Seasonal makeshift bemused
Harvesting courses
Heart in Man:
Stubborn to the core
Intellectuality ...

Conditioned
To be inclined,
To incite,
to enact the act to reflect,
Ambitious world tight to the neck,
It is a quest,
to react..
How far can we get?
Climb a tree instead of
Sitting under mumbling….
How bad is the sound of thunders?
Tipped of wonders and colors,
Distinct fully and awesomely……. random.
Shades dropped rubbles
beyond timelines living under ….the effect,
an excuse that matters.
The wrong - the right,
As right is the wrong,
the shape of
a mask

D1. Annotated Peoples Make Connections: if they walked around in love/for love/by love with SFX labels to their chests
Different hands reach for the same neck
of a bottle, jerk back in dwindling bounds
as a ball dribbles away without its human.
Of all the places to relax into, holding
ones breath for language. We turn
into vases, nose to nose. The background
shutters like a party trick. Figures milling as noise;
a fleet on the horizon- fading
to the roundness of the earth, an elevator
carrying the Gestalt principle.
Foreground forebrain timpani! Avocado
center, our circadian rhythm-
dense and brown.

Missed Connections
The non-signaler in traffic,
or every half-met greeting, a reservation
is set for them in the Pit. Fumbled
stroll charged by creosote aroma, over
the bridge a spiked heat. Uncontrollable,
tar, dough. Expanded wood, the jammed door,
loosely bundled sock and your shoe hanging
off the toe, blustering, declaring
sensational soon-to-split irri-ta-tion.
Some kitchens are pristine and ours
grind crumbs in the bulk while we
are darkly snuggled, an irrigation into beds,
underneath our feet and on the verge
of farmhouse...

a hike in a national park
a hair-fine strand of belonging
wound of many
a suspension bridge's cord
the strongest line
a spider-web triggered
over the trail
unbroken across the bridge
of nose
a connection needs
to be as thin as
the atom of things when
a bomb goes off
merry go round
Saturn's belt round the cliffside
can't get much colder
than the gaze upon a stranger

Seize The Opportunity
There may come a time a golden opportunity will come around
And you'll have to shut off the voices that surround
Heed not to the fears that whisper in your ear
That golden opportunity may be the one to wipe away your tear.
You may have to bend and break some rules,
Hear the scorns of those who will say you're a fool.
You may have to break out of your circle and forget all that you were taught
To obtain that which you so badly sought.
You may have to endure the rising wars within and around you
But letting go of the gold you'll regret...
And you'll have to shut off the voices that surround

Jupiter Series: I, Wherewithal
Space is capable of movement
despite having no body
and is read as connecting carbon
-dating of events. It takes a part
in what is inherent opposite
in some tangible thing else; everything
but itself moves at the speed
of years and when a fin first takes
to land Space follows. Its tool
must be the fanciful shovel
or the hitch. Space inhales
in the unfettered hand. It also
informs us of distance about “yeh big”
by the eye that uncovers the cellular,
an amendable amiable discourse ...

Complicity in the Stars
When fragile
things collide
into constellations,
when struck
the glass volleys
off graphite.
At once
nothing like it was,
a container un-becomes
itself,
several imparts meet
the meat of a thigh.
Sharp transparent
hubris of life
finishes on tile,
sharp beading red dwarves
upon skin,
these are
the collusions
of nightly fragility.

associative areas of the brain
Memory is made to fit space, to pause
of the box is to reconcile of nothingness and the possibility
of a swarming's orange blossom racing out of the eye
sockets in a reflection of the seconds,
once again a second time, of the seconds
that you fingered a twirl around the dead cells pushing
out of his head and the memory is at
capacity lost. Filled meter lights a warning
and somewhere a womanly being in stripes
presses the button under the counter.
Who comes to the rescue! but a blue-clad strain

I- Y-W- They all matter
Uncertainties - despair,
Entered the world by the front and the back ,
No space saved, as we all are one,
The world is going crazy,
before it was ebola ,marburg, influenza,
isis and their crew, hurricanes, tornadoes, sunamis,
fire and earth quakes,
today its covid19
Tomorrow what will it be?
Family , friends embrace,
we will overcome.
Don’t forget those whose lives are also on the line,
A profession chosen to be admired,
Fear and panic attacks,
Knock on their doors too,
Wake up early-
Sleep late at...

Significant Sign:
Astrological
Shuffling along the plane
The old ball and chain
Narcissist:
Always getting it
Deviating away never
You in everything
Above and Beyond:
Galactic expo
Transital space orbitting
Gravity matters
Persecution:
Pariah outcast
Scapegoated as a martyr
Antipathy so
Unsupposed America:
Uncle Sam even
Bullying to submission
Ideational
Political Games:
