The Big Secret
I've been walking
Talking to an angel
Trying to get that big feathered prick to spit out the big secret
That bird man won't give up the ghost
I keep trying
Keep prying
Maybe I can get that nut a little loose
May of ruffled his feathers
As I kept pushing the levers
Maybe it was when I plucked one out
Like he was just a big old goose
I keep walking
We keep talking
As we come upon a demon ghost
Bird man didn't seem to like them much
Though they won me over with some jam and toast
We all laughed...

It’s okay to {not} call it God
This mystery
without beginning or end or dimension
which surpasses our time-bound, embodied understanding –
Explain it however you must:
with the logic of your mind
or the intuition of your heart –
as long as you never presume
certainty.
Embrace the miracles –
sunlight to sugar,
water to wine
Stardust or holy breath –
whatever helps you grasp
the wonder of creativity
Whether it’s that
big bang of the spirit in a virgin’s womb
or an atomic dance from the...

THE GIFT OF FAMINE
My madness
Spent upon silver dew
And wilted yew
By the cracks in my shoulder
Ventured
Beyond soot and sleet
In the blackened wood
Rotted flesh, those paths
Of which I hew
And from the pale I am saved
Your ululations from the shade
To where my feeble heart rewinds
Your ululations I cannot find
This hollow season brings me pain
And sorrow, the trees know the same
For all that is emptied
Must be engorged by solidarity
As all must be
They bruise upon the twilight ...

Ministry of Presence
Stoke, Cancer or Heart Attack
or when things are just going wack
Crack Addiction, Alcoholism or Physical abuse
or any time the Devil is on the lose
Flood, Hurricane or Typhon
I will do everything I can to get you help soon
Artic blast, Blizzard or Massive snow
in your life I will never be a no show
No matter what you are going through
I am here for you
Finally, when you are on your death bed
I will remember the last words that you said
or when things are just going wack
Crack Addiction, Alcoholism or Physical abuse
or any time the Devil is on the lose
Flood, Hurricane or Typhon
I will do everything I can to get you help soon
Artic blast, Blizzard or Massive snow
in your life I will never be a no show
No matter what you are going through
I am here for you
Finally, when you are on your death bed
I will remember the last words that you said

Freedom
She begins
in hope
and her lines
and pauses
attribute
their sense
to the sheer
steepness
of her dreams.
A small walk
and the search
for the expanse
is at her fingertips,
for she is an ocean,
and her wisdom
is the sea.
Above her
there is nothing.
For she stands
atop
the clouds
and her eyes
can see it all
from there,
miles
and galaxies,
one whisper
after another,
word and promise,
and her burdens
drop as she steps
from bondage
to freedom
and the...

Adam's Hair
Why do some religious persons think God does not want men to have long hair?
Does the Bible say God made Adam a natural bald-headed man?
Where is the evidence that God made Adam without hair on his head?
Even if Adam had short hair, it would grow long as time went by.
Razors and scissors were definitely not in the Garden of Eden.
So when Adam’s beard and hair grew long, how did he trim and shave?
God did not expel Adam from the Garden of Eden because of the length of his hair.
Adam’s hair did not cause any problems, his disobedience to God...

One More Hug
I saw my dad today
He came in the form of a dream
Somewhere in a snowy landscape
Wrapped in his mailman winter jacket
I looked around at my surroundings
Snow falling heavy from the sky
I see buildings and cars on a street block
He was about to enter the building next to me
When we locked eyes
I ran around the cars piled with inches of snow
Right into his open arms
I look up and see his smiling face and feel the weight of his arms around me
We exchange no words but I can tell he's happy to see me
I...

Goddess to Serve
Baby, I’m a sex goddess
Come as many times a day you want
As many days a week, I’m yours
to pleasure and to please with ease
cries, moans & sighs,
with you between my thighs
your climax in my eyes,
I hold your gifts
in my hands & mouth & lips
teeth, breasts & nips,
Clit, groin & hips,
thrust & grind me, Baby
find me, Baby,
engorged by your shaft
I’m goddess of my craft but…
A GODDESS mind you; I
serve one true worshipper alone
respect & value will be shown
with wings to fly,...
