She’s A Child Of God
September 1, 2010 A Hymn She’s a child of God who can make decisions that last, she’s a child of God who can make decisions that last, The wind does not answer the questions that keep arriving, the wind does not answer the questions that keep arriving, Beneath the stones, beneath the stones, inquiries coming [...]
When God Walks
August 29, 2010 When God walks, the thirsty buffalo drink from crystalline ponds, when God walks, the hummingbird dives synchronously with all rainbows, all spilt pots of gold, all oysters hiccupping pearls, all effulgence, all chirping Welcomes who do not look to closed doors to lay their self-same monogrammed mats at… Then the chains rattle [...]
All Of This
August 25, 2010 All of this is for ‘that’ amount of time. The partially hidden horses standing amongst the pines, the partially hidden music standing amongst what has not yet gathered itself as a chorus, the full disappointment that’s brought back inside the heart and churned into the sweetest butter, the sweetest butter that’s stored [...]
What Had Said ‘New’
August 19, 2010 What had said ‘new’ to him suddenly did not age, seeing with worry, seeing with aging believed, seeing with complaint in place of banquet tables, seeing from the capped end of an empty bottle of favorite ‘I am tired of life’-exhales, All these looks are what bring Seeing-eye-dogs to grieve, There is [...]
Inside That Timidity
August 9, 2010 Inside that timidity, that gone away fierceness, your eyes did not dim, instead, I watched them being something else, Like diamonds sinking beneath luminous God-soil, blinking closed and open, looking upwards beyond the lids of Time, beyond the proofs of this life, beyond the face they figured out on Day one contained [...]
The Sound Of Dry Grass
July 7 & 8, 2010 The sound of dry grass beneath tender feet that have not cumulatively walked a mile in their setting down from Womb, The love that issues outwards after a mistake has lost its scorn and found its way back to the pool of the central heart, The ache in the throat [...]
The Voiced Glowing
June 26, 2010 The voiced glowing, a talked about wing, the hummingbird who soared towards a Hawaiian shirt drying on a clothesline that could perfectly kiss train tracks if it wanted to, These roots in his hands, a mule standing against an orange backdrop of foregrounds calling to one another to begin and a painter [...]
Sometimes Moving About In The Same Place
June 22, 2010 Sometimes moving about in the same place can, from a distance, resemble a type of pause. To arrive at trusting God, the All-might and the holding in the lap of quilts made of those cocoons shed, covers on covers on covers, not for the sake of concealing and unwrapping in expectation, simply, [...]
That Embrace Mentioned
June 18, 2010 That embrace mentioned, the deep purple smile of a May iris, you, joy, unwinding streetlight flicker, silence and then the sound of a dog dragging its chain at high gallop. It’s finally free, Final’s freedom from whimpering, begging God’s first beginning to pause eternal. That chain’s once chromed links, now sullen and [...]
Pools of Forgiveness
June 5, 2010 Pools of forgiveness, continuance and forests of decisions that turn the cosmos around, The skipping of a stone across glistening lakes of new lava flow, rice beds and bowls of water balanced on their heads, Whispers of tridents and mermaids, pleasure, leisure and sureness, freedoms and clouds, this food the heart eats, [...]
