Monoliths
Wintry tears drip deep,
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits

Glacier Blue
The water was a blue universe where the soul is fluid.
Lifetime far away from the closest human grid.
Aquamarine dream, shines a glacial sheen
of a mountainside secluded lake.
Engulfed in triangular summits with their bleached
termination dust flakes.
The peace was so still and so primitively profound.
There existed no need to make a single sound.
My every hurt was soothed with liquid blue bliss.
Morning would bring a hypnotic mist.
Moistening blades of grass that are April sun kissed.
Grateful to be alive to witness such a sight. ...

sacred blood oath
the collective pool of thought is cleansed
a water sprite with tree guardians
in the forests among the ferns, I dance
my soul is free...
the earth herself calls me into her wonderment
my soul protects her sacredness
I listen intently to her thoughts
chanting quietly in her hollows
the animals know to obey her will
they keep her trust
I hear the ancestors drumming
sounds like the heart-pounding
keeping a steady rhythm of understanding
we walk after the faith
knowing we are but gardeners
we will one day...
a water sprite with tree guardians
in the forests among the ferns, I dance
my soul is free...
the earth herself calls me into her wonderment
my soul protects her sacredness
I listen intently to her thoughts
chanting quietly in her hollows
the animals know to obey her will
they keep her trust
I hear the ancestors drumming
sounds like the heart-pounding
keeping a steady rhythm of understanding
we walk after the faith
knowing we are but gardeners

The Divination of Bubbles
descending into clarity
warmth hugs every crevice
an exhale of certainty
tension at ease; I now focus
on this moment, just the one
where time stands motionless
pastel bubbles foretell my fortune
and I sink below the surface
tingles creep up my spine
follicles sway at the indulgence
tip back my glass of fine wine
and know: my future is limitless
warmth hugs every crevice
an exhale of certainty
tension at ease; I now focus
on this moment, just the one
where time stands motionless
pastel bubbles foretell my fortune
and I sink below the surface
tingles creep up my spine
follicles sway at the indulgence
tip back my glass of fine wine
and know: my future is limitless

I should take a shower
Been a few days
Can't remember when actually
Just don't feel like getting wet
Only to get sweaty again
Summer
City
Sun overload
Eventually I will
If we were gonna fuck I'd shower
Unlikely
Don't get to close

Just don't feel like getting wet

my uncle and the snake
once while
swimming,
my uncle
was bit
by
a snake,
the snake
developed
acute alcohol
poisoning
and died.

STORM CLOUDS MAKES US SO VERY HAPPY
While everyone else hides away and falls fast asleep
I'll throw on an extra layer and outdoors I will creep
to play and revel in the high winds and wild persipation
caring not whether others will join me in my recreation
What wondrous beauty is found within the earth and sky
as the world around absorbs it all and the clouds have a cry
too bad for them who do not want to join in on all the fun
watching the rainbow slowly appear as out again comes the sun
laugh as I will stomp and jump in the...

SKINNY DIPPING SPOT
During hottest month of the drought
We youngsters would go swim in nowt,
Within a wooded stretch of brook
That we thought grown ups would not look.
We were at age when pubic hair
Began to adorn us 'down there'
And the girls had upon their chests
The beginnings of adult breasts.
It made us feel wicked and free
Going bathing "in the noddy" -
Until day Dad said (to my shame),
When he was young 'we' did the same;
On that stretch of the brook, no less,
They too went in state of undress...
("It's where your mother and I met, ...

The Path of Least Resistance
I thought it sounded a little crazy
But his theory could go the distance
When he claimed that water is lazy
It takes the path of least resistance.
And when it comes to an impasse
It will try to find a new course,
But given enough volume and mass
It can become a destructive force.
But his theory could go the distance

And when it comes to an impasse

Sami Song
Hear the tale of the heart
that’s pure as the falling snow
there in the north the light
there the pale light glow
sing me a song to a passage
of a time when the shaman sing
and the eagles reply
and brother wolves howl
call the warriors of old
once more a dance
of victory on snowy shore
north of the wind
joik me a song of the falling rain
of reindeer in the wild
remember them who live before
time was counted in its ticking
let the children remember

The Lost Books
The news announced the sinking ship;
water pushing its metal hull
off a gangplank of the straight
until it crumbled as crystal over rock
Planes spotted flotsam and jetsam
—pinched debris riding a caterpillar
of watery waves inching across the sea—
its waterlogged bite engorged
from strewn pages as leaves
sinking into a survivorless
translucency
Below, a commandeered army
—a delegation of new ghosts
manifesting posthumously
because sometimes Poseidon reads
while sitting peacefully at his desk—
