On the ordinariness of honeymoons

To Fiona Robyn

stealing moments
with these eyes
my world changes
birds unseen
sing tree to tree
morning gossip


(A 'small stone'.)

when eye woke up

it was time to meditate.slow.deep.stop.breathe
"time is a measure of itself alone"
these lines are Rescue Remedy
Curatives are not Sedatives.
Awakenings take life times.
"before electricity,chop wood
Once cleared,make myths of trees"
Stories are What We Must Tell Ourselves
They sweep the bed of fingerprints.Censor history
Detective Memory has Slipped Discs.Science (is)Fiction.
Your last Breath was your Best Yet.Same as this Present One
Even if we Forget,it will be remembered.(Forget These Lines!
Explorers had Noh maps.Intuition 's Footsteps.Attunement!
Medieval Torture Chamber=Gyms.You Pay For Jail(s)
Economics is What We Make.Austerity is Puritanism
Exchanging Energies allows Trance Formations.
The Unexpected Awaits.

what we do not know

is what happens next. it is not
that we are in a plot that beggars characters.
we are unscripted.somewhat spontaneous
subject to pressures exerted via others.
it is less the leaving -more the digesting
of experiences determines our daily grind.attitude
is almost all.you can dance on the job.
angels on the heads of pins.arrows of burning gol
Desire is a way to attune.One moon but so many lovers!
Stars rarely apologize.Meteors almost hit earth
Every body has an orbit.We swing,elliptically,eccentrically.
Sometimes we collide.Mostly via Divine Accidents
This is how New Worlds form.Matter is the Song Of Gravity.
Levity has no words(it hums,electrically)
To move requires Energy.(self-generated,affirmed selectively)
Whatever is said is Editorial.Forgive yourself first
Then put a seat belt on your opinions.
Unless you Release the Wilde Birds,there will only be Empty Cages
Even the sky has Borders.Limits.Histories.Versions
Science is a toy.Play with it!Religion says NO!(play anyway!
Homo Ludens is William Blake.
Adolescence D H Lawrence.Elders Bertrand Russell.
Parents A N Whitehead.Explorers Einstein.Workers Edison
You will need all of them to make yourself anew

"the apple canot sack the tree"

a mountain cannot sue the broken sky
Almanacs are subject to weather changes
you do not have to die.
all laws have outlaws and in-
there are exceptions to every rule
most precious the saint and sinned against
you do not have to suffer
choice is the voice of our species
all paths have equal validity
harmonics require inner harmonies
you can live in this world
stories are made as (pre)cautionary recipes
stir the soup lest ye be burned
stay on the surface to avoid the depths
better alive than dead
you cannot eat yesterday's breakfast
no one knows tomorrows
what you hold does not belong to you
be grateful for respect
grass has one million ways of growing
every finger points somewhere
to get there,you start from here
nothing is true.only every thing.
write your own Bible(s)
cancel all fatwas.Crusades hurt.

SACRED SECULAR

"There is another world-and it is this one"
Water Holy before the Word.Earth as our only-and not owned by any one
All life as Sacred as slaughterhouses and apologists/death chambers and McDonalds
Churches as Real Estate tax dodges.Priests as politicians.Secular Saints/Sinners.
Bibles as stories-creation myths to End of The World Armageddon scenarios.
Religious Wars as territorial Disputes.Simple(as we make it! Heresy as High Fashion
Christian Apologist Scientists.Christian Science?Christopher Hitchens!
Hunger for Belief creates projections.Example is everything.
Magicians make miracles-but who feeds the hungry in Haiti?Governments!
Foundations and Corporations.Church charities subsidized via your taxes.
DO NOT LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN!Stone throwers in Glass Temples
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
Beware-avalanches!...

0 1 2 3

some never make it into body suits-
aborted,miscarried,like weapons that misfire

some remain solo solitaries/recluses all their lives
rare these individuals/precious as monasteries

most couple and un-,re-couple and marry
marked via serial monotony

in these couplets,a third sometimes-
an electron spinning round their orbits

whether this creates unstable combinations
your atomic theory relies upon such strange particles

quirks,quarks,dark matter-into a dark hole
ones who despair of ever finding another

attracted particles spin in eccentric orbits
turning atomic theories in to chaos

lost souls seek out the living
to find them on the dark side

here is where the three come in-
less Divinity,more three faces of Eve

jah wobble and wank,unstable ,thank
heavens for eccentric patterning!

there will always be a one
for another one to mate with

even alone,strange breeds
reproduce like insects

countdown to the launch of another relationship
threes company,two is often a crowd.

BLUE

Picasso's period-emotional as music
Sky blue-impossible optimism/ contradicted by chemtrails/vapor trails
Sea blue-layers and levels of depths of truth
All babies' eyes are blue to begin
Theme in Blue-jazz composes us
Blue Danube-a river of Strauss
Blue Bayou-Roy Orbison lives here!
Blue Hawaii-Elvis turns color from black and white!
Blues Muse-turning Black and Blue into bruises
Violet Indigo Blue Green Yellow Orange Red
Hazy horizon separating blue sky from blue seas
Blue as the day s/he left.Bluer when s/he returned!
Blue Velvet-where images toxic /noxious bumblebee suburbs grass
Blue Man Group-who is beneath?Why multiples touring?
I am blue-Monet Blue-purples and pinks kiss me
You are blue-Magritte blue-apples and bowler hats
Blue as swimming pool David Hockney
Blue as Geoffrey Smart.Mirror sea blue
wave blue.Reflecting blue.How can you be blue?
So many ways to watch these waves of blue
Sit on the horizon and feel blue.Sky blue
Watch this apple world from space-it is a blue planet
The only one with potable water.It defines us
We are loved by blue.More than the man in the moon
Blue calls you to oceans,seas,rivers,pools
DIVE IN! You will become blue in time
Your time is blue!

TO BE WHERE YOU ARE NOT

to leave your comfort zone/sanctuary/nest/shelter/job
to step outside your door/and explore/more
awaits you when you open/to the possibilities that sing
from freeways and highways to A roads and B lanes and bike tracks and walking trails
to where there are no footprints (even your own get erased
as you step and do not step in to the same moment twice
Heraclitus meets Diogenes meets Rumi meets D H Lawrence
and the space that you are in becomes a line within
that sings your dreaming trail on and in
All that you enter is a dream.

WILDERNESS/WILDNESS

No body ever took me by the hand
and introduced me to the elders of our trees
to let me know their beauty,form and function
their biology,history,etymology.Fires had scarred
many and more before me.Loggers chopped,diced,sliced for IKEA.
Johnny Appleseed was nowhere to be seen.Poets waxed lyrical
on pages torn from leaves.Voices of trees -wind,birds,nests,sway,roots,deep
Their cerebellum as conscious as sap is blood,and arms branches
legs deep in our only earth.When i am wild,i feel like sapling,bending to change
When old,as slow as earth itself.I want us all to live.Trees before,seeds afterwards...

ACCORDING TO LEGEND

Susan Bright convened poets and musicians to save the trees @Barton Springs
We gathered and sang-some trees survive.The attention of folk is required
if any tree is to revive enough in Republican drought times.Today an idea arrived-
to photograph Mother Pecan so that she might be designated Community Heritage Tree Of The Year.
Zoila simply asked us to gather in Zilker under the shade of her arms.She took photographs.
These days,the survival of one tree is a good start.
Julia Butterfly lived in a tree for a year to save that tree.
Old growth forests are quite irreplaceable- in our lifetime
Austin trees have become elders-the tree canopy shrinking-heat is rising.
High rise towers trap concrete and aluminium Californians
Be the tree you have planted in your earth-seed for future forests
Plant native trees to replace and augment damage done by our settlement
Green as our smiles as we remember Susan Bright.,trees in Austin,Barton Springs
and every seed planted by the faerie folk of this garden -to save and extend
what is left -of Mother Nature.

ERRORS in ERRORISM

Making mistakes is human.It is what we do.
It distinguishes us from those species who adapt and continue
Think shark,crocodile.Forget unicorn,dodo,dragon,dinosaur.
Think rat ,cockroach.Forget poet,teacher, philosopher.
Think war games,androids,drones,robots.Forget pixies,sprites,elves,faeries,Light...
Corporate models pretend they are legal entities.They have no humanity.
How many folk do you know who left computer industries when dehumanized?
Lawyers exploit tax loopholes-skylines do not represent Austin.Nor F1 anyone other than profiteers
Wars are errors in relationships.Study China's mode of trade first/diplomacy as trade trust investment.
Before invading Tibet,China settled Chinese folk there.Think Hitler and his expansion of Germany post WW1
Think Japan under population pressure pre WW2-joining Asian expansion via war when diplomacy failed.
Think Vietnam-we allied with corruption ,as we did in Batista's Cuba,and now Karzai's Afghanistan
Puppet governments fall when their errors are economic.What value dollar decline?Who subsidizes banks?
Who do we pay for our currency?What good laws when only rich have lawyers?
War has always been supported by the poor-as blood tax via conscription
or as hate garnered against "foreign"invasions.Our his/tory is failures
This is what we do.We are not here to learn .We are here to get through
REPEAT AD INFINITUM(do not call this "evolution"...

VISUALISE LIES

Here Be Dragons!Mermaids,Harpies,Kraken!
Dodos and Dinosaurs lived-once upon a crime
Extermination of species compounded in our mythic times
We virtualise a Second Life /digitalise this one
So we may never have to relate to another human being

Mutants,zombies,vampires,clones
Robotic specimen from comic book fantasy homes
Find widescreen movies to extend their lives
Everyone knows Superman from Kryptonite died

Last Mermaid in a sideshow zoo
Last White Buffalo too
Last raggedy lion in a Kabul Zoo
Soon they will build The Museum Of You

Myth fails us when fantasies come true
Dark Side of the Force occupies Holy Lands/Truth
is a refugee ship to relieve Gaza
That will result in civilians/murdered

We need to free Myth from War Games
Free digital children from Zombie Apocalypse
Release Fantasies that give Power to Light
So we might survive Dream Nightmare nights

Unless we can Imagine Our way Through
All Myths and Legends will be Exposed as untrue!
