Mother Daughtry and Amaliah...

A society
culture
religion
humane species
forgetting,
or more likely under-valuing,
how to unitedly suffer loss
may never have learned to face our universal fear 
of dissociative ego-death
as a badge of Earth-systemic re-cognition,
dignity through suffering 
sacred Ego's over-capitalized absence
where once we knew...

???•?A CROSSOVER FOR ALL?•???
 
A synagogue strange sight did unfold,
A congregation diverse, young and old.
The pastor preached with passion, a fire in his soul,
As the crazy folks gathered, their sins to unload.4

The alter was adorned...

Dearest Cousin Madelyn,


Let’s sit in the rowboat, near the dawn’s verdant shore.
Where a squirrel sits under the Oak, that we once...so adored!

Later, listen to jazz, Dave Brubeck, who...

That old familiar ache in my heart returns along with a lump in my throat.

Shades of bright orange shined in the dark

CRICKETS IN HEAD
I’m a NeoPagan

Dedicated to the celebration of Life.

Looking for crackets.
The brooms come higher that I expected
And the hole throws up...

Extraordinaire, he raised the ice.
He told me this when I was a child.
He said he heard his neck pop.
He laughed and said, “That stopped my dare devil’s persona.

That cool crisp crunch of golden fall,

In the school, we played together.
The celebration of life we lived together.

than all stale constellations combined,
unchanging orthodoxy,
staid stillness

 The halls won't fill with reggae music...
