I was not alone when I awoke
and it was not just my conscious mind
my emotions wondering out there somewhere
We have this spirit to create
and it tackles us in the night
pulls us from the ground, we are earthworms
I had this conversation with a friend
that consciousness is only when we wake up from a nap
and then we are conscious then until we die
There is no potential for spirit
Trying endlessly, so I think, to awaken from a dream
to spirit that is divine
to try and resurrect myself from my sleep
the pillow that smothers me in its automatic embrace
It is all we can do, then, for a moment
to know it is possible
for in the moment to awaken
and look at one's self
before the moment is gone
not to be resurrected

Every Quick Moment
Every quick moment I pause
to plant the seed for my arising
I saw you there by the window
you were smiling
It was noon and the sensation arose
a garden of delight inside me
And it was time to freeze
as the game was never ending
The man rode along pushing the bear in the grocery cart
& said. "It's your turn to ride, bear"
When the silvery slippers of time rest
peering through the dome ceiling
We look down on the numbers of times
we never knew we were alive
Being pushed along our path
waiting for it to arise
Did the situation make itself perfect?
Was there a place?
Were you the person?
Was it the time?
I remember:
Every quick moment I pause
I see you there by the window
You are smiling
Planting the seed for my arising
to plant the seed for my arising
I saw you there by the window
you were smiling
It was noon and the sensation arose
a garden of delight inside me
And it was time to freeze
as the game was never ending
The man rode along pushing the bear in the grocery cart
& said. "It's your turn to ride, bear"
When the silvery slippers of time rest
peering through the dome ceiling
We look down on the numbers of times
we never knew we were alive
Being pushed along our path
waiting for it to arise
Did the situation make itself perfect?
Was there a place?
Were you the person?
Was it the time?
I remember:
Every quick moment I pause
I see you there by the window
You are smiling
Planting the seed for my arising

People Are Dividing
People are dividing
what they know and they don't know
into parts
Traffic jams and telephone scams
come to know us better than we know
our selves
It must be time to redress
the old, the new , the now we hide from
within
Slowly entering the news
from an unknown perspective to rattle
from underneath
Death's blanket folds
over decay like undone garbage heaps
reveals stench
This is the new nature
made perfectly old by its semblances
to dance
The light eternal is made
of junk the imagination clouds beyond stars
its food
I blow past you
and you past me as we enter another moment
oh blankness
It is carved carbon
dating us back to the earth space
we live upon

Blind Dirt
The Blues man sits poised.
No, that's not true.
A woman wakes in the night and carves a pumpkin.
It is Spring and the pumpkin is frozen
like so many tears on a ghost's face.

It is true that living water brings eternal life to those who drink it. I imbibe the present moment, some buzz I hear, sharp pain I have
thickness of mind
ambition to be pure in the collective mind of posterity. That's what I scanned in. I like how I type, this need be no better for you than for me. If I had a little violence, I have seized so much,I'd seize it all again.
