blind dreams

                                    all beyond this flesh of breath
                                    do gaze
                                    and invade
                                    thy fleece
                                    thy savor
                                    thy redolence
                                    thy song
                                    inspiring pillow’d imagination
                                    with trepidation
                                    with amenity
                                    within night eternal

station of acquaintance

                                       spirits transforming their cloth
                                       yet unable to mask memories
                                       that dwell at the crossroads
                                       of moment—
                                       and sometimes
                                       those of modest dress
                                       be the fondest
                                       with a will for immortality

                           A Smile below Guadalupe grape dancers
                           Innkeeper of commerce and cruise ships
                           Master Chef of fish tacos and enchiladas
                           Night Owl of cervezas and mariachis
                           Enchantress of shop-till-you-drop’ers
                           Cinderella of the Peaceful Sea

Microstrobilus

                                    Ponderosa
                                    stricken by Beauty
                                    to fall into the arms of Earth—
                                    and from thy love
                                    be born the Forest
                                    the world of Us

 

Happy Fathers’ Day!

                                                      no fallen angel
                                                      only the next dash of spice
                                                      for my mother’s feet

In Memory

I should like to dedicate this posting to Peter G, who graduated Marine Corps boot camp with me.  After my short spell of military service, I went on to enjoy all the benefits of civilian life– love and marriage, rock concerts, forest hikes, great restaurants, foreign travels, wild parties, dogs and cats.  As for Pete, eight months after boot camp, he was killed in a firefight.  He was only 19.  Now, looking at his photograph, I am deeply saddened and lost for any further words.  Peace, brother.

Happy Mothers Day

She
who bestow’d upon us
more than the gift of Life
but also her kindly Heart—
seeds sprouting
both Love and Nature’s favor

Buaya Darat

                             a thousand millennia
                             have mirror’d my awesome beauty—
                             a flower from Isla Flores—
                             an Ora
                             whose bite be much louder
                             than my bark
