A Word from Mother

some nights
I speak in the tongues
of thunder
of lightning
of boiling rock
and lash fear
into the beholders

but in th’ end
the rest
who live upon Me
Me—their hallow’d Earth
will be overjoy’d

for I am still
Alive

Cairn (from the Time Capsule)

heap of asteroids

sign for galactic hikers

on versant orbit

Golden Routine

always
as if for the last time
her daily stroll she takes

to admire the beauty
speaking to her
which never gets old

unlike her own life
now crown’d with gray hair
and cheerful reflections
that sometimes lower her spirits

still
her heart blows a kiss
and smiles farewell
till the next tomorrow

Dreamcatcher

Fishgathering
inside Cauldron
of Reverie

Visions
some replay’d
in exact morsel
but briefly
at times
‘twixt months
e’en years

blown There
all Dreamers’ senses
in black and white
sometimes color

into feeling…

… Really There

till Sleep
thy breath
be lost

(Dreamcatcher craft by my neighbor, Etti)

Stardust

Sun

heavy

sows
into vacuous Night

Stone
burdensome

melts
from scalding Womb

romances
first thalassic Beauty

Twig

tearful

respires
to herd
with Trees
of a Leaf

and soon

are We

From the Crow’s Nest

be embrac’d my sight
by convergence
of Heaven’s tidal wave

as the rest of myself
anticipates a steeping
ethereal uncertainty

of certain elation
