When feelings and thoughts give me a hard time
can I slow them down to at least half-time--
til I sense they’re just life-force breaking out--
making songs from barely bearable shouts?

Presence is Easy When Our Present is a Present
Caressed and hugging
always touched, snuggling
life's synagoging.

Channel Animal
Speaking without dancing
destroys all romancing:
when my body’s ignored
it farts, wants to whore.
May my body and mind
speak like a vocal mime
so each word from my lips
is a meaningful kiss.

Does the Big Bang Care?
Past, present and future sights and sounds
caress, love and guide us all around.
We feel always blessed by cosmic waves—
but is there a caring God who saves?
When we sense Big Bang's a Big Blossom,
see folks as love-fruits from Eve-Adam,
the fruit they taste challenges us to know
Cosmic Tree juices want us to grow.

"I Will Cause Breath to Enter Bones" Ezekiel 37:5
I’ve little memory
of mother hitting me
with painful ecstasy.
Numb in mind and body,
I break glass when she’s gone—
imagine breaking bones,
moving me to scream, moan:
Sensing bone marrow frees
her to breeze, me to breathe.

Bone Poems

I’ve little memory
of mother hitting me
with painful ecstasy.
Numb in mind and body,
I break glass when she dies--
feeling bone marrow frees.

Bone Voyage
Bones come from fire--
so does all else—
bones thus desire
to warm all selves.

Home's Our Bones
When at home
in our bones
not alone
we know "om."

Hate Well--Leave Hell--Get Well
Hate comes when we don’t create what we crave:
wealth, health, joy, love-- for all—a god that saves.
When love's sweet feelings forget to create--
our love divides into love versus hate.
But love when whole embraces, transforms all hate,
giving us fruitful powers to co-create--
love charms wild furies trapped in hate’s desires
to fuel with fire what love requires, inspires.

May Absence Bring Presence
When you are far away
I feel you are divine.
When you are here I pray
I always know you're fine.

A place of pleasure
in our sweet below
spreads beyond measure
when we let it grow.

Can a Poem Take You Home?
To sense we're loved
below--above?
To feel we're gods
even if we're odd?
Believe all's well
even when in hell?
To know we'll grow
more than we know?

Pay Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain
When told I am a sham
I’m happy that I can
start sheering “sh” from “sham”
revealing who I am.

All in the Game
All’s made of all:
feels physical
grows sensual--
so all loves all--
with joy takes all--
gives not at all--
when ripe hears calls:
don’t go awol,
we give you all:
give us your all--
at your own crawl--
then alls a ball.

Stars R US
I hope you know a lovely being you are.
Sometimes we forget we're made out of stars,
but you're face shines with sun that warms from afar--
brightens our hearts even when we feel blah.

Refresh with Flesh
When I feel my flesh--
no more flesslessness:
Dis-ease has no need
to spread seeds like weeds.

For All Untied States
For All United States
There now is a bold man from Mass.
who loves a bright, beautiful lass.
They roll in the hay
all night and all day--
even birds and bees are aghast.

so our fear
is so dear.
