perfect possibility - 7/22/2006

Listen

there's always
a perfect possibility
if you believe

if you fix your mind
on the probability
and seize

be mindful
and you'll manifest
your need

be heartful
of all that
you conceive

so many possibilities
are perfect
you see
you have only
to choose one
and breathe

a communion of eyes - 7/10/2006

Listen

a certain curve
subtle bend
sinuous and clean
arms
as the sun rising
elliptical
over me
abdomens
exchange
the universe
we breathe
our breaths
intertwined
divinity

shantih

shantih

shantih

surpasses we

there is only
a communion
of eyes
informed
infinity

independence day - 7/4/2006

Listen

independence day
and I all
I can remember
are the lies
I remember driving down
the interstate five
on a surprisingly serene
spring morning
listening to the national
public radio
broadcasting live
but broadcasting still
i could hear
the call to prayer
distant and shrill
and the correspondent's
voice
like stone
like a knife
on a bone
and we were waiting

I was driving along
and their night
was so long
waiting for the boot
on the door
for the hammer
on the gong
waiting
until the sky fell
in shock and awe
and suddenly my tears
fell
as I drove through
the dawn
and the broadcast
was silent
all I could hear
were the bombs
falling on baghdad
and ululating
song

slight electrocutions - 7/2/2006

Listen

no expectations
only
small anticipations
slight thrillings
through
my veins
wonderings
at the sound
of a voice
at vibrations
musical
refrain

something simple
in that smile
telegraphed
by the mile
transmitted
through electrons
and ether
and rain

connections
interjections
and all the
meanwhiles
are
only slight
electrocutions
anticipating
vibration
and flame
