always saying goodbye always saying hello
June 21, 2009
with each wave
these last moments
bathe our consciousness
there is nothing else…
(jobs are waiting)
put the tiny shells
in your pockets
i tell the boys
so the big ones won’t crush them
two buddies –
they are eleven
never to be eleven again
the breeze takes my tears

be the embracer

peace is a choice
do not wait for one’s embrace
be the embracer

into the toast
sucking the jelly.
This and That – More Shit than Anticipated
October 28, 2008
Why is the far right the keepers of who is “American” and who is
not? I would leave that to the Native Americans.
To my Roman Catholic brothers and sisters: Go ahead and vote on one
issue. But remember, your votes put George W. Bush in office. Therefore, you share in the responsibility for making this world a geometrically nastier and more impoverished place in which to birth a child. (Thereby, ironically, increasing the probability of an already overwhelmed pregnant mother choosing abortion) You are so preoccupied with the unborn that you have allowed the born to be doomed to the cesspools of the ever expanding slums of this earth.
Always remember, it was the Bush administration who dismissed the warnings about bin Laden from the Clinton people. Bush was such a myopic fool.
I believe the neo-cons half wanted something to happen. They wanted an excuse to invade Iraq; a Gulf of Tonkin, a “remember the Maine”. They got more shit than they ever anticipated on September 11. Just as they got more shit than anticipated when they invaded Iraq. Did they suppose their “enemies” were like those in a Bond movie: diabolical but relatively impotent and easily defeated? I can see Bush, Chaney and Rove consulting the library (a bible and 3,000 DVDs) to review how James Bond escaped the bad guys by sledding down a ski slope in a cello case. They surely drooled on their ties.
Is the bloody saga of the white man’s displacement, erasure, and
marginalization of Native Americans a model for Christian relations with Muslims? Or Muslim’s with Christians? Convert or hurt! Only madmen would think that, you say.
Angel Friend – revised
October 9, 2008
I wish I had an angel friend
to watch over your tiny travels,
to walk with you and wander through
daisy stream and meadow.
I wish to have an angel friend
when it becomes your time
to go exploring on your own
to catch you if too high you climb
above this grownup world of pace
too fast to see a child’s face.
the mountains

the mountains watch us
grandparents in a chair
we play at their feet
another type of nurturing

the woman
who decides
to bear
no children
bears love
to all humanity
these are the heroes we offer
