flight

feather falls
from eagle’s wing
down from the sky
to
mind’s
eye.

from whence she came
I dunno.
but when she should go
I
follow.

unexpected
circumhappenstance
thrills
my heart exuberant
ly.

our first dance awaits:
tangled and fallen.
and whirled all about,
is this love, she asks?
(why must we doubt)

I rhyme with pride
because I must hide
anxious anticipatories.

I sing
to thank the heavens,
the Universe,
and
You.

R’xit: One Month / New Prez

“A man walks down the street
It’s a street in a strange world
Maybe it’s the Third World
Maybe it’s his first time around
He doesn’t speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen!
Hallelujah!”

(Excerpt, Simon, Paul.”Call Me Al“, Concert in the Park, 1991)

Focus on all the beauty that remains in this world

and 
Engage with it.
Engage with yourself.
Engage with others,
even those who think differently.
and most importantly:

STAND UP!

“So I’m [gonna] need every generation to put your hands up
Cause you can only get ‘em off your back when you stand up!”

(Excerpt, Technique, Immortal.”The Martyr“, The Martyr, 2011)

This is not a poem, because the meaning is Secret

This is not a poem, because the meaning is Secret

today she came to me.

through the beauty of morning sky
she came to me.
through connecting with old friends
she held my hand.
through playful, nonsensical banter
she tickled my insides.
through confronting my totem
she challenged me.
through learning of a friend’s current path
she inspired me.
through mastering a day’s work
she gave me confidence.
through a dog’s trust
she made me vulnerable.

Through all these things, and so much more,
My Muse spoke directly inside my soulplace.
She filled me with so much…..
ahhhh, I cannot explain.
there is too much, so much, …..

No really, I have no words for you today
only these paltry few letters strung together
masquerading as love.

just know
My Lover gave me quite a gift,
and it was for me,
and me alone.

My Lover, is grand, wise, and such a looker
My Lover inspires,
even when She speaks
through the rising sun
or a shaggy beard
or a beautiful tiny witch
or the wings of Heron
or didactic method
or capitalist goals
or a trusting dog’s eyes…

The Universe gives,
and gives,
and then gives me more.
(yes – we’re dating, the Universe and I)

I’m sorry that all I can share
are these measly,
incapable,
and small
little words.
but inside is a Magic
only for HER eyes.
