no road taken

http://axiom.gaia.com — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:16:13 GMT

two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

and there between the marked why stood

a single tree whose blooming boughs shade

upon all three fair paths coolness laid.

adrift II

http://axiom.gaia.com — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:38:39 GMT

clean outa fresh allegory, it seems.
sometimes i pause en path and
wonder- did i jump ship too late?

life has become an after-hours
museum: stop, stare and
saunter on to the next scene.

a moving statue among mummies.

ii.

the four emptied alcoves surround her. she waits.

"the pollen grain enters invisible"

wheat stalks annotate such wind: aaahhhh, yeeeeessss.

"like body, wholly body, fluttering its empty sleeves"

awakened by candle wax, he left her.

iii.

i cant think of anything else to say.
let's just walk awhile.
holler when you spot a fox.

i got hands in my pockets.

nobody else up cept for the wind and

these crazy glass towers reflecting

the night.

look on a map- Houston.

and on that map you'll see no glass towers.

no me with pocketed hands.

no bum curled up smiling asleep under the bus stop bench.

uesat y christo, an oestre poem

http://axiom.gaia.com — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:50:11 GMT

water flows here softly.

Osir green,
red Magdalena never ran
from your tomb...

there, her dove.
your rainbow.

brother seth sits,
weeping- for joy!

though his humwawa
is but scattered wind-

bread is broken.

"i think this, and this and this," he said.
but it's sleep (feared even) he's really after.

that darkness. what does it mean?
ask starry questions and watch the quiet
vanish.

clueless and dull, the sun sets again.

i've the company of clouds.
i've a dark sea without truth.

without any doubt.

How do you deal with fear?

http://axiom.gaia.com — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:41:13 GMT

an old pirate
once told me about
a typhoon from hell
and a rowboat to china.

about how he
almost crapped his
pants that time.

and telling me this,
he grinned from
ear
to
ear.

Creating beauty with the glance?

http://axiom.gaia.com — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:33:28 GMT

"i am not god," says the
moon, "but the lingering taste
of her lips."

even her Glance might suffice
to set us in our orbits, i think.

the moon knows this:
she tastes whom she embraces.

What's noticed?

http://axiom.gaia.com — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 02:26:47 GMT

flip side of
futile currency:
joy.

asking questions,
hoping for intervention.

beauty, he thinks:
a stone egg hatching.
the sky giving birth.
rain from a clear sky.

a stick thrown in a pond-
waveless.

What's money to ya?

http://axiom.gaia.com — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:31:32 GMT

Where glaciers scraped
Aiden's Lake out
of the mountains,
it rains.

The lake fills and
overflows into Cody Creek.

Fish swim there,
sometimes.

An alternate religion?

sermon of black birds,
pulpit of moss,

only would i trade Thou

New Man.

Makers)

Why all the sufferin?

http://axiom.gaia.com — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:28:30 GMT

how bright the morning dew,

how vivid the sky and hills.

who is this,

but the morning dew?

day's warmth comes and

we know it.

how vivid the sky and hills.

the metro creaks

http://axiom.gaia.com — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:27:08 GMT

one of these days,
houston's gonna rust right
out from under those
knowing pidgeons.

the metro creaks and
moans when the moon
shines strong.

and one of these days,
those smiling bums will
go free of these
lousy
crumbs.

New years Resolution?

oak bark moss verdant,

Biggest adventure?

at that.

no you nut,

pointing out to

What motivates?

http://axiom.gaia.com — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:05:44 GMT

broken window pane and
dark, dark, dark
sea.

albatross,
tell me how you float so
sweetly there,

beyond this
jagged
glass.

What lifts your spirits?

http://axiom.gaia.com — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 03:50:37 GMT

"renovate an economy,

invest in chattering squirrels, chantrelle
mushrooms and spruce saplings!"

someone somewhere jumps
through a window in desperation

and a robin sings.

"hello,

hello!

renovate an economy,

invest in the real."
