Walk gently,
spread love.
I set my intention
crossed the bridge to Angel Valley
unknowing of what was to come
but fully away of what I was leaving behind
I stood grounded, cool and calm
released of all tension
as if a lifetime had come undone.
It’s there I let go
of all those old ways of being
shed that snake skin feeling
and came back from beyond the pine
into that crystalline light
of my own healing.
How often do two minds dive
deep within the sea of time
whose infinite waters share the light
a moonlit dance if you’ll take mine
hand then we can share this sea
and dive to depths eternity
a Starry Night, Saint-Remy-de
it took an ear to hear you say
I see you, feel you, knew your name
long before that faithful day.
How curious it is that I
no longer beg or question why
but rather like the naked eye
accepts the sky is blue—
with honesty and strength that I’ve
been granted through these tales of time
woven as one as you are I
accepts the ancient truth,
for like the moon and sun decide
to shed or shield eternal light
with arms spread thin wide opened eye
keep mine closed now to see,
what beauty lies beyond the pine
is neither up to you nor I
it’s always been like time gone by
regardless of the proof—
in truth it’s curious that I
could feel so pure estranged from life
whose meadow in the golden light
is heaven here on earth.
Pour-pour-pour
until my memory flows
black with the silence
where nobody goes.
Just give me more-more-more
and no I don’t wanna talk
I don’t wanna turn back
like these hands on the clock.
There’s always something else
another book on the shelf
it’s either fact or fiction
neither one’s any help.
Cause really I’d rather not
and I can’t bear the thought
all these wheels turning
but mine never shut off.
They say to walk the walk
if you’re gonna talk
always hateful and violent
beauty pinned in a box.
They were such delicate wings
see that sweet little thing
that you nurse like a virus
that could never be me.
So I just pour-pour-pour
and I quit asking what for
everything for a reason
not all reason makes sense.
If I’m half truth and fake
how much more would it take
to convince you I’m bad news
I’m your biggest mistake.
So give me more-more-more
things eventually bore
and all this method acting’s
become more like a chore.
See there’s this figure eight
I’m ruled and can’t escape
like the number thirteen
I see all over the place.
I’ve learned it’s better to walk
for miles— comfort —in thought
leaving alone the people
happier when you’re not,
around like a clown
bringing everyone down
I’m not bitter I’m better
glad to sit this one out.
So just go-go-go
go-go-go-go-go
go-go-go-go-go-go-go
go-go-go-go-go.
I took off my clothes
my skin suit
and rattled my bones
clicked my heels
and down the hatch
I went spiraling forth
into a bleak oblivion
where not even the dark
could hide, I
stood staring into nothing like
a Mona Lisa replica
my conscience hung midair
like a wine stained sheet
pinned neatly to dry
and there were no bones about it
I had completely lost my mind
stumbling down West 4th and Pine
crossing line after line, every time
after time just me, myself, and I
delirious in my delusion
picking homeless men off the street
with tears in both our eyes
I’m no different than you my dear friend
neither are you from I, he said
you’re going to be all right, he said
as for me well, I’ve lived a storied life, he ended
with a reassuring glance as I handed him two dimes
for it was all I had
collecting my clothes
skin suit and conscience
brave the winter, he said
spring needs you
hunched over coffee
it’s 6pm and Sunday
a solemn afternoon
there really isn’t more to do
but watch passerby
smile hand in hand
planning one another’s future
in the corners of their eye
I take off my shoes
to walk in the rain
through thunder & lightening
it’s a damn Good Friday.
