Heavy Feather
Heavy feather
Breathe togther
Lightest weight of clearest sight
Antique hands of wrangled plans
Your hands are yours
From long before
Inherit unique
Human trait
Heavy feather breathe togther
Mossen heather mingled measure
Mountain fountain distant sound
Heavy feather never sever
Earthly mystery and pleasure
Thank your breath for being felt
Svelt seat of ease retreat
You are yourself you're no one else
You are a seat of human sight
You are seat of living flight
You are a seat of universal home
Heavy feather never lone
Heavy feather breathe togther
Our lives are but a heavy feather
Breathe apart and breathe togther
Sensual senses let down your defenses
The earth is fair let go your care
Silver thighs for easy eyes
Breathe your breath come ease your breasts
vision of parrot bearing golden fish
Parrot bearing golden fish
That speaks:
"The several swarming
tested heated arguments combine
to gift themselves, courage
(Crucible forged as they were)
A useless word to look for
To know your fear but place it aside
Like the rivers and oceans the o'look the tide
That waxes and wanes
And among all these sundered planes
A striding stair we stand apon
An between we cavalier unevenly
Reaching out a tender hand to an unfeeling cosmos
Like a portrait painted on a chapel cistene
Like a living world rendered unseen
Like a field of grass always more green
Like a loving conquest of leaving alone
Chase and unspent of it's own immortal repent
To take only the sight of what you've seen
And let be what is
Unbesmirched
Let not the very thing you cherish
Be tainted by your own looking for it
And perhaps at it
Be confident while you live
Do not allow yourself dissemble
Before you life has even left
My favorite thing about dictators
Is the way they always die, behold
The world disposes of its own evil."

Journeys (I)
Journeys (I):
Here's a cavalcade of staid
Laid back harried
Swooping swerving herds
Buffalish Kahnian marsupial guides
Over hills and dales
In flowing rivers of beasts
There's an easy lift that exists
To permit a select few a view
Of their own troublesome slew
An escalator that climbs higher
Placed strange to live in this
There's a bright white light
That fights with night in the sky
And the star that glows
Also charrs your bare arms
The red earth and the rocky expanse
Have no care of what lingers here
Slather your self with soothing balm
That keeps you safe from harm
As the circling birds
Call down to you with words
That you can't understand
Journeys (III)
Journeys (III)
Steady in these swirling clouds
That give us visions betwixt
A fitting curtain
Of ever repeating pattern
In the smokey misty
Clinging vapor lingering sticky
On the side of an ancient city
That was built at least
Ten thousand years ago
And below
A mountain extends
Downward from the sky flying vessel
That you've found yourself within
And it could be that this here
Sight of shallow purple cloud
That the empty monument
Stands proud about
Is only a mystery
With no history
Beyond what you yourself can stand
On this shrouded and forbidden land
spider on rock salutes day moon
(Spider on rock
Salutes DayMoon)
There is a feverish silken cobweb
That buries itself heatherly
The simple dew
Coagulates
It forms and unforms carefully
Giving the ebb and flow of the tide
Solace and respect
The cool sweat standing on my brow
Is thrashed away
Anxiety vanished in this
Parsecian void
A calm that comes from simply looking
To a place
That gawps and yawns ridiculous
Even borrowing itself
into itself
Breath remembers
Forgiveless and only with remorse
For the dispossessed
Who are humbled already
And therefore have mercy
On those cast earthly
Just as was
Milton's hero

Srinyx Statement
Please enjoy this poem I wrote about Pan, the goat legged mythian who represents the essence of improvisational muisic.
Pan's pursuit of the beautiful nyad Sryinx led her to cry out to the gods for help, who in their mercy transformed her into river reeds.
Wilfully lists Listen
to their own blistery
Unsurprisingly climb
Roads loan their leanings
keenly and see steady
ringing singing sitting
gifted writ a fit of buckled tricks
stocky and blocks
and rough and tough bunches
of fluffy fun runners lining up
to light the ringing windows
blighted writing
Fighting but not
with fisticuff or muffled guff
of a pistoliran unbuff stuff
only the real flight of decadent
thinking blinking their buildings
bently and gently and comb
the long stalks of rye to stand up high
And then you'll say your sighing
And then you'll lie and think of no better feeling
And the world around will yield
To your command
That it remain unchanged
To comfort you thus
And have no doubt that the fount
of real willful lists kiss and to climb back down
Can always remain sound
Be assured you were not lured
To a fate of no escape
Only a semblance of a place where you
Can remain and yet
Gentle Oppenheimer
Oh gentle Oppenheimer
What did you wring from your
Bare hands grasping voidly
Were you generous
With what you found there?
A reproof we never ask of you that you
Gave yourself so sternly yet unpunished only
An inventor
Proud in your vision of yourself as
A character in the Bhagavad Gita
"I am become..."
So that your unkindness
Might be acknowledged
Soft rains fall in hell this day and
All the used car salesmen
Frozen solid paving the way
To that gate
Thaw a little and shake as
Cool rain scalds them
In their lacklife pattern
Of mythology my own
The forest patched sparsely and its beauty
Slow eaten away by the man machinations
Like the silver hairs of einstein
Spotted with frost
Simple equations build guilt
Are we thankful for your contribution?
Do we show it with our care?
This one song is for cities
Would it be better that we flooded them
With fishes
If the people there care not for
The warming air
The rising tide
Rises and rises
And they allow themselves
Unnotice
But certainly reproof
As gentle as Oppenheimer
coral giants turn away from breasted island
Coral giants bow away
Growing slowly calcified
They learn and lean
Green a white and bright
Troubles unremembered
These Fey events crisply
Lend their safe fingertips
And wait a dozen gilled fritters
A blob, a shock, a little mimsy
What does a piercing the surface
With a light show us?
Nothing only refractions and
Regretless energy bouncing outwardly
No shouts trouble
The folds of sand
Hands grifted lingering
On seashore of a tiny Baudelairian friend
Beneath the mamarries of the island
She who lays backwards into the sea
- A kindness in this a kindness in this -
(Cloven hoof leaves
Faint tracings that lead
From Barrow den to sight and colour
Earthworm crawls triumphant
From the ground here perhaps)
I won't wait for a giant's step
I'll only leap yazular into a
welcome warm liquid
