(BLASPHEMY!)

we are called to act in fellowship.

(it is a SIN to miss the ceremonies!)

we are asked to think beyond our selves –

(the only way to save your sorry ass is to OBEY!)

beyond sex and possessions beyond security and agenda.

(the most important thing is to avoid HELL!)

we are asked to dive in and swim upstream,

(keep your nose in the BOOK!)

living our lives to serve others …

 Warhol said it a million times in his life.
when discounted and rejected
he never gave up.

when I can no longer recall
I will tell stories

when I am only bones
I will be your fence

when death comes

February 1, 2007

angelheads.jpg

when death comes

the hand of life
reaches down

to lift up the soul
like a kitten

and gently
place it elsewhere

painting by:Joshua Reynolds

this is
the dimension
of acute pleasure

of explosion –

its origins dictate such.

beyond
is very much
elsewhere –

infinities other than

this one.

 

I wish I had an angel friend
to watch over your tiny travels –
to walk with you through wander worlds
of 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 my child’s face.

 

Noah

January 13, 2007

Noah was the last to go.
Discovered face down
hands still clenched
from the struggle for air.

Siblings Luke, then Paul
then John, then Mary
coaxed down the hallway,
into the tub
one at a time

each head held under
until bubbles
turned to silence.

In the end no frantic prayers answered.
No angel made Mommy stop.

 

your choice

January 5, 2007

if you believe you are alone –
you are always alone

if you believe in guidance –
it is everywhere

 

concrete god

December 26, 2006

Is God not concrete
enough for you?

Do you need more
than knowing?

Do you need
tricks and promises?
experts and channellers?
pomp and ceremony?

the fear of hell?
