PJ related Poem: Just GO!!!!
Just GO!!! I was heading South, across the state of Michigan, chasing the trail of a thunderstorm, but for what really? well a couple of books I'd already read, and to go to a car show in Detroit, what sense was that? none really. I was a Kerouac and a Cassidy rolled into one, screaming down the freeway and taking solstice…

Poem for the Simpleton
(Three Years of Purple Contact Lenses, My Silence and Counting) I love myself or I want to die, unconscious moodswings make it hard to decide. I love her dearly yet remain on the fence, Faith fights doubt but faith speaks French. Hey there brain, what do the scapegoats claim? Hey there heart, session fixation or is it…

Sympathetic Lies
She exhaled slowly a cloud of sympathetic lies Into the air of deception In a room of false disguise . The serpent moves in liquid motion Between the lies and false tales that drip from painted walls While the eyes of elders look on from portraits of stained and broken glass Smoke fills the room. Flashes of light that…

Hope
That white morning haze there's something in it! that feeling of "Anything could happen today!" that feeling of the universe expanding that feeling of the top of one's head lifting off… to float up as if to see the day from the top of a peak or, that bird's nest up in the tall pine walk down here on the soft pine needles…

Crow's Nest
Crow’s Nest I keep checking the weather For a drop of rain. Nothing falls but leaves on the page. Witness the cracks that form All around the window where Wind slips in and silence calls. “Wake up!” Says the lone sailor Bard on a ship creaking Far from safe landings. You’re all safe from Nothing but the stop And the moment…

Wile e
So angelic,Yet so fierce Nesstled in the leaves, Kissed by the sun. Ears to the breeze. He's found a haven. A place to rest his head A panoramic view of the meadow, And all around him,Nature has gone silent. A silence so loud,Only he can relish. A sun so bright only he can bathe in. So Angelic,Yet so alone.

winter darkness
in the small lonely cold dark winter window a small candle with it's warm soft orange glow licked the thick blackness of night with its fiery red tongue it danced about in unison with your silent floating laughter happily tangled...no voice heard only whispering winds tapping gently with frosty fingers at the windowpane i…

the oldest nights
the oldest nights I've ever known I think the flakes were as big as me I think the table I knelt by and ............played with the lambs .........was as big as me the soft and the silence the desperation I felt for the deer at night five isolated memories of the oldest nights I've ever known contain darkness and a silence…

simplicity, the growing
how carrying first strung chord empty became overwhelming as populated brought alongside us a group of winter days harmonics grew yellow, green & brown something like a praire lit to roll those hills as early risers crack this closer sky all we are friends here vastness as their tunes doing it without them

Ocean Song
Ocean Song Far down here, we give light In this secret house, of hidden things Weightless in awareness of our solitude We give all of our feeling to the ocean song Visionaries mean nothing here Tactility is everything 'Cause the universe is dark this year Just floating in the ether Diving down We shed our masks And we…
