psalm 7
the Resurrection psalm
a psalm of Andrew
1 mark my grave, O Lord;
mark well this spot
in which i sleep;
2 it is a dreamless slumber
and my memories have gone
away from me.
3 the breath i borrowed
with the nostrils
of my dust
has gone back to You, O Lord,
Who made my body
and my breath
a living soul.
4 do not forget me
in this dark place, Most Holy One;
do not confine me
in my helplessness,

The Absolute and the Relative in the Face of God's Love
Mystical disciples of All Lands
have been focusing on theory
some are deeply feeling in the sands
of time where is All the Glory.
What is it like to forget what it was?
Before the Breath began its pulse
even if breathless, the Form already has
circulating energy to fill its veins and burst
in the centre of the Heart
where every Single One can be
either a centred unity or start
to swing back and forth, for you shall see
that the Absolute and Relative
boggling minds should come to peace
Isn't Love Enough,...

Cruelty and Mer Sea
I knelt before the terrifying, endless expanse of royal blue. Every ounce of courage and fortitude I possessed clenched tightly to my pounding chest. I prepared to hurl my desperate supplications into her like pearls of perdition returning to their abode but before I could muster my first utterance she spoke.
"Te lo quité y te lo devuelvo. For that is my nature. Push. Pull. Take. Bestow. I enrobed him in dancing mystery and lulled him to sleep with the sound of my breaking. Bautizado por las lagrimas eternas de su madre. The salt of my weeping dissolved the anguish and madness...

bitter herbs
an old dirt-shadowed face lives in my mind
stuffing her mouth with medicine
and a young girl beating her belly with rocks
running laps until she falls down breathless
i see legs akimbo and a ladle thrust inside
i smell the sweat of fever-drugged fear
retching fills the cavern of my memory
and screaming too- and blood- and death
as i pinch a white pill and shove with my thumb
as close to my cervix as i am able
-
i press the call button until they come ...

psalm 6
the Creation psalm
to the Chief Poet; a psalm of Andrew
1 the light and the darkness
are poetry, O Lord,

like curtains
to reveal or to conceal
the beauty of Your Will. Selah.
3 You fold the darkness away,
and we behold
the light of day,
wherein we have liberty
to honour Your marvelous works.

It is Time
- It is Time -
Heed in the midst, these words channeled from upon high!
For in them lie secrets and things bore witness to by gods...
And in the darkness thou shalt behold the lightest of things.
Soon, much that was dreaded shall be brought thence nigh,
And many who art blind, shall so feel the bitterest of rods...
For in ignorance there exists the fire that oft fiercest stings!
I see the soil quaking in places, I feel the waters unstable,
As the cold of winter starts to ebb, and the sun grows hot.
False leaders, false prophets abound, each...

psalm 5
to the young guitarist and budding flautist;
a psalm of Andrew
1 have mercy on me, O God,
have mercy on me:
for my soul is bowed down
like a broken string
without a melody;
2 a broken reed
that has no breath
to sing Your praise.
3 imperfect are my cadences,
for i cannot find resolve.

psalm 4
of Andrew, when the COVID-19 pandemic
made its slaughter in the land
1 i will turn my gaze away
from the silent graves
of countless souls,
that i may see Your
outstretched hand.
2 the hand of the Lord
is mighty,
quickening the dead;
3 the grace of the Lord
is abundant,
saving even unto
the uttermost. Selah
4 for You number
every broken bone
by frailty left undone;
5 not one is left unbroken
by the tyranny of sin.
6 shall the graveyard praise...
