i HAVE TO IMAGINE

Buddha meditating/Coyote howling
sans clubs and tear gas /batons and guns
Tazering children/uniforms kill every one-
even Buddha(especially coyote)
Now i have to dream stronger(like waves of eternities
refuse hemlock/release Socrates
Jail Plato's uniformities/Aristotelian teleology
Gold cage of Reason has broken keys
Bird outside the cage has chains for wings.

YOU ARE PERFECT(and need admit
this imperfection as needed and necessary
Defects make you look better
(faults reflect upon their maker)
I will not use your name to assume creator's flaws
More find a way around this mountain
to river over dam/to flash flood Potemkin.

BROTHER CHRIST! BE NOT CRUCIFIED!
Flee with Mary Magdalene /have a child and a life!
Resurrection in every moment/skin
as Light for every broken lamp
Gentle Buddha(Real estate!
Give more for more to be shared
Even Islam free bird women
no need for shadoor,fatwa,jihad
All you pilgrims can go home now
build domestic altars to selected gods
(What you bow down to is what you lack)
All can be filled/fulfilled within your lifetime
What if there is no posthumous?
What if it all boils down to us?
And gods and goddesses are simply watching
just to affirm the obvious..

LAYERS(we wear
when winter winds wrap around chill pimpled skin
as within(masks.Dig this earth(unseen hidden treasures
Cities like shards of pottery carelessly strewn around us
between time and what follows-bones,beads,ash
Like layers air traffic controlling /chocolate cake
What we see is who we are.There is only ever now.
and form can wait.in layers of stratified time...
