we're friends with one who kills us
who gives us up to the ocean waves.
we love this death.
only ignorance says , "put it off for awhile, day after tomorrow"

don't avoid the knife
this friend only seems fierce,
bringing your soul more range, perching your falcon on a cliff
of the wind...jesus on his cross
hallaj on his

those absurd killings
hold a secret.Cautious cynics know

what they're doing every moment and why

submit to love without thinking, as

the sun this morning rose recklessly
extinguishing our star-candle minds.

everyone chooses a suffering that will change him
or her to a well baked loaf!

i want to dance HERE in THIS music
not in spirit , where there is no time.

i circle the sun like shadow
my head becomes my feet.Covered with

existence, Queen, annihilated,
a walkingstick dragon, my blind mind
taps along it's cane of thought. Love

does no thinking. It waits with soul,
with me, weeping in this corner. We're

strangers here where we never hear
YES.
We must be from somewhere else

we are here near there
the tent has thirty doors
we are here
a place between the pebbles and the shadows
a place for a voice
a place for freedom, or a place
for any place fallen off a mare
or scattered by a bell or the call to prayer
we are here, and in a moment we'll explode this seige
and in a moment we'll free a cloud,
and travel within ourselves

teaching you to see us, to know us
to listen to us
to feel our blood safely
teaching you our peace, we may love or not love this road to Angarana
we are here within ourselves
a shy for the month of june a sea for the month of may
and freedom for a horse
we are here near there
thirty shadows for a star

if wheat and water are cut off from you
drink our tears
eat our love
.....
on his wedding night they took him
and she wept for the rest of her life

....the babe in her arms was crying,
a coffin bearing the face of a boy
a book
written on the wings of a crow
a wild beast hidden in a flower


a rock
breathing with the lungs of a lunatic
this is it
the twentieth century

they arrived naked
broke into the house
dug a hole
buried the children and left.....

the earth rises in my body
and tells my days to be its windows
and teaches my steps its name so they can be its letters
and birds

in a page of a journal
bombs see themselves
phrophetic sayings and ancient wisdom
see themselves
niches see
themselves
the threads of carpet words
go thru memory's needle

over the city's face

Ashamed to say, I hadn't...

and, now I feel what you sent, then...

while streets became friendships
and strangers were safer than loves
when two were tosses among the waves
of the forgotten
know love was always beating
within fear overwhelming
coas trying to makes friends
whispering in my soul
love you, remember...

sent all 'round, and everywhere
those thoughts in midnights
as cold concrete became my chair
and I looked to the stars for answers
inside myself was a vast chamber
deeper than outside, wider
and love given warmed me
from afar...those nights

chased by raging insanity
children screaming, fighting to be
and, among the runaways, and sickened
found the seeds of humanity
just here, there...I remembered
spirit bared from flight, in light
then secreted slips
when all was hush

and every moment
was a call to souls
as stars answered my pleas...


that make sense? =o)
and, thank you...

i wail and weep like anyone would.

i bleed and rage against the machine! and am a crazy person for weeks
when i get home PTSD is a daily aspect of my life that's why i am not
relationship material

hahahhahaa


i have a black sense of humour and a very sharp edge

my worst habit is taking the sword by the blade


i stand in victory with no hands

i seek haven
like a toxic waste container
sailing the seas searching for an open port
where can i find a safe harbour to recycle this pollution?

who will unload the stench that no one can bear?
when will my clothes burn the history from my skin
who wakes up and looks at me with my eyes?
why don't i recognize this girl sweeping away the ashes
it feels like my country has fallen from the window of the train

a gentle breeze in a strange summer
and the windows are white then red
and the sun is a pommegranate at dusk
and i, a stolen orange.
why are you running away from me?
when all i want
from the country of daggers and nightingales
is my mothers handkerchief and
reasons for a new death


a gentle breeze in an oasis
and the earth is a feast!
the birds have flown
to a time that will never return
you'd like to know where i came from?
and what's between us?
my country is the joy of being in chains
a kiss sent in the post

all i want
from the land that slaughtered me
is my mother's handkerchief
and reasons for a new death

everytime sleep has it's grip
death is nearby
could be now
or next year, longer...
knowing death as a lover
foe, friend, necessary
does not make it easy
reasoning behind hatred?
there is none
hatred knows no justice
sometimes, just sometimes
within violence and death
is the reason we live on
for chosen death is not
given violence regard

hold upon smallness
and empty heart fills
if allowed acceptance
knowing unreasonable
emotion

human
wants
and needs...

i have tasted so many flavours of death
some of them sweet we hold hands
and skip along the hot sand laughing
he is no enemy

he is like the servant that washes my feet
and assists me while i change from my clothes
holding the curtain
keeping me modest
showing me another way home


he offers me the reigns
and my daughter's smile
and the chance to beat him at the game
he likes to play with my ego

Thank you for the story, to write of excile is a difficult thing yet it
is complete when you find a home. Home is where you make it.

hehehe

oh, that! be death
so vain, and secure
in ends gets what wants

always...

so playing with time
can stop, or rush
or, say you rock!

and smile...

playschool chum
now from day one
born along side us

full grown...

never a child
death sniggers allwhile
and believes in only itself

we pull...

and, push away tempation
run screaming, some patient
we are granted this time here

grasping...

yet, to walk day to day
conversations with mirth
for the knowledge of us

wanted dreams...

we lunch at it's table
talk of the weather
and try not to listen to whispers

always...

where is the wine that will
take me to sweet abandon
i didn't taste it in our tears until
the sky unleashed a torrent
and we were once again
allonewater
and the pavement we fell on


i didn't taste it in our songs until
the music raged against the machine
and we took back
our drums and remembered our way
home

pass me the cup
to drink of you , of sisters and all
manifestations of
'this essence'
this abandon

that i find in the comfort of our dance

salut!

------------

The comfort is near
far from the moon
yet, tiptoe among the stars
and wash over us
lightness

pounding drums beat
like hearts of iron
steel, metal thrums
and, hide beaten

wonderful dance
spirit by heart
carried away with being
the flight is free

tears tasted
as beauty sees
and sing of All
who carry purity

nahh... this is one such thread where we could dance to the violence,
and trauma...healing one another, and an intimacy some don't get...

Strung lights shine
and words can glamour
glamourous smiles, and spirits shine
when have you been shined?
Shiners glow
and shiner's hues
bleed black to jaundice
Which blow is best?
