profundity of kitty litter
one of the most profound things she ever said in my presence
had nothing (& everything) to do with life
my little sister is a wealth of unexpected knowledge
but this statement has always stuck in my mind
we were sharing a house at the time
splitting household chores & expenses
among them...4 cats between us
she came home one day with a new kind of kitty litter
scoopable...which wasn't a thing until then
I watched as she filled the box
then frowned when she pulled out a soup ladle
placing it neatly in a jar beside the pan ...

Vast
Vast, open expanse traversed betwixt destined transposition.
Encompassing all, through and around, viewable variations.
Whence begins, ends.
Ever, always.
Horizons envelop, fold, change.
Perpetual coursing, meandering, unraveling galactic fate.
Planes of impossible comprehension contrast.
The small, minute realization of self in reality.
Exponential fractals, like subatomic particles, chance the largest star.
To divide and displace levels and scales beyond perception.
Linear induction is dwarfed, as profound multiplying...

light & shadow
it's fascinating to me
how perspectives change with exposure
how light lands
which features become most prominent
more sharply in focus
the deceptive nature of shadow
how it drapes
its kiss upon a half-turned face
is it a blush or a bruise darkening flesh
standing partially in the shade
only half of what's there is actually clear
step forward a smidge & the back is fully hidden
shrouded by mystery
is what isn't seen even real
...or illusion
moving deeper into the unlit space
until nothing is truly visible ...

Inverse Squares & the Measure of Constants
I was studying my neighbor’s
algorithms,
and the book I'm reading mentions
their weighted voting.
And so, I was wondering,
what do they mean?
I, for the longest time, staring straight up,
incapable of offering any reply.

THROUGH TIMES EVAPORATIVE HEALING TOUCH (time, date & place unknown?)
my heart my mind
my eyes
hold tears
they cannot yet release
express nor cry
long trapped beneath
my early childhood s

now long passed
long lapsed
though somehow
still ongoing
haunted crumbled ruins
entombed in sleep
long buried and hid away
so deeply self compartmentalized
in subconscious paralysis

Gifts
Gifts represent the bane of my existence
having lived life with so much resistance
forced to learn the unfortunate fact
that gifts require a payback
by family that so desperately wanted piety
in their gift giving ability
so now I carry this ugly scar on my brain
that accepting gifts will bring me pain
but there seems to be a light at the end
learning something from a very close friend
that maybe the gifts come condition free
and that they just want to make me happy
so with a hesitant smile and grateful heart
I say thank you for...

LOST AT SEA (1983; Laguna Beach, California)
screaming clarity
intrigues my sinewy mind
as air flows in and out of me
feeling how all things bind
this crystalline day around me
explores my living body
so sweetly pore by pore
as the sun s warm golden palm
gently touches and caresses

Wild Mother
My roots grow deeper
Into soil I never intended to plant myself.
My dandelion seed settled
As a weed growing into a wish
Broken into pieces by a child
To begin the journey again.
Into soil I never intended to plant myself.
My dandelion seed settled
As a weed growing into a wish
Broken into pieces by a child
To begin the journey again.

Catastrophe
They never told me
That beauty is power.
That wholeness is a magnet
To the fragmented
They never told me
That I could wound you
Because of my whims
Yet you would follow
Because you believed
I could be tamed
Days and days
I spent as your Summer
Until you realised
I was winter for another
I never committed
So in my eyes
I held no real ties
And now I've
Been thrown ropes
From each direction
Each begging me
For my attention ...
