Ejaculations in July
Red red Industrial pink dawn Saffron halo of sun Stars sink into cyan blue Half a world in darkness Half rolling into sun with you dreaming. The smell and heat of hair on skin, the sound Of your breathing lulled me like rainfall on a lake – I greet the day recalling you said, “If […]
Being has no center, this poem has no name
Being part of not apart from is to turn against the turning world and time in favor of the third eye wisdom, the living wonder of one divine nature God-Spirit-Buddha word or sound Oh say what it is… (It is peace with all.) Can that be Be / cause you are a part of all, […]
