		<title>tenderness</title>
		<description>tender i am to this tear
in my heart,
knowing how presence will bring flowers to sprout from
the ignorance with which i respond to ignorance
and knowing that tearing and healing and salving and tearing again
is the kind of justice my spirit beckons

liberate the innocent
incarcerate oppression

i would loft anchors at the windows of ...</description>

		<title>spirit walker</title>
		<description>between the trees
amongst the thistle
with due respect for the small and powerful
mushrooms and moss

under the light of the moon
with friend at side
the silence
and the hoot of an owl

amidst the stillness
we cracked the mini ice ponds
with thrown rocks dislodged from the frozen mud -
Kali at the helm.

last night how I gazed ...</description>

		<title>moon trails</title>
		<description>Many many days of rain,
followed now by clear clear skies.
the night is frosty, and the mossy rock mossy.

Like a telepathic friend, the lone arbutus tree
understands my needs
and the grassy knoll doth nature's virtue extoll.

Upon the emergence of the sun this week,
I set out with garden tools upon deer trail in ...</description>

		<title>she drugs me with tea blends at bedtime</title>
		<description>your mind is like a playground that i may enter through your eyes.

your lips are divine as god himself.

your hair is the woman of you. gold silk i stroke.

your neck is a place my lips love to travel.
i wish to land a kiss just therethat might be able to express ...</description>

		<title>huddle with strangers</title>
		<description>syncopated applications of coincided crop formations.
lightships make serpents in the skies of mexico.

preparation is required -- know your kundalini. let your heart and mind come into resonance.
it is easier if you remember that most of society is ego distraction.

especially, prepare for release
as entire knowledge systems will be discarded
and others will ...</description>

		<title>trips for the privileged in denial</title>
		<description>fuck it all and fucking no regrets
i've cancelled all the love and all the bets
after we've separated the love from the glee
there's just more pride fuck society

torture chambers blackened passages mark the way
the crops are dying and the kids are too dysfunctional to play
i see the west as masquerade
wonder what ...</description>

		<title>the Moment</title>
		<description>it is SO lovely,
beyond lovely,
to meet you in this moment
and love you in this moment
without expectation
or wanting

how, in not wanting, this moment blossoms,
our souls kiss,
ageless


but do understand,
that i DO want something
and if it feels like i'm grappling at times,
consider noticing it for what it is:

not an attempt to control you,
or ...</description>

		<title>all this bliss is threatening to drive me insane</title>
		<description>i'm trying less and less for comprehensibility, and more and more for poetic flow.

essentially, as before, i let go.

but i'm embedding meaning for the gleaning
for the inspired type
the situation is blessed and the thoughts are ripe

these are lessons for your picking

requiring your committing
to the bliss that comes
in tiny packages, all ...</description>

		<title>every time you tell me you love me you heal my pain</title>
		<description>it is these trinkets of love that you send
in emails and in phone calls
which save me from the black hole
spinning voraciously a little to the side of my head,
threatening to suck my heart out.

self-love is a tricky matter
and frankly i welcome your love.
i would cuddle and/or huddle with you for ...</description>

		<title>shooting star</title>
		<description>i just saw a shooting star,

the first i've seen this year.

it blazed a long trail, its particles
dissolving in speckling flashes

its path vertical, nearly straight down
towards the earth

long journey that speck of cosmic dust
must have been on before crashing into the earth, huh?

like, thousands of years, isn't it?

imagine if that speck ...</description>
