Iron Poet #11: Strike-a-Light River Song
You think rivers must be named,
Even measured,
Maybe tamed.
A river has no shoes to walk
It can but keep its banks
Or rise above them when swelling rains arrive.
The scribbly gum tree whispers low to me
It overlooks my sentient flows and ebbs.
I, into my… Read full post »

REPOST with Update:Without Health Care, Very Nearly Homeless
(Originally posted Feb 23rd of this year)
Five years ago today, I was
probably in the throes of trying to find where I would stay next.
As roommates go, mine had taken exception to the thought I had
become suddenly and inexplicably unwell. With barely enough funding
to last out… Read full post »

The Columbus Lie
In our dreams,
We climb the hills of solitude unconstrained
Sup at the flowers for sustenance
Lie in a cleft at evening where grasses grow wild and
freely
Laugh at the stray fly
Plunder our own thoughts with wisdom
And canvas no one for our opinion.
It is night… Read full post »

myself and others, genera… Read full post »

Man Down: Placebostudman
I'm just so profoundly affected by the news of his passing.
We were never close, but you might say we were more like compatriots of the same cause. We understood each other's limitations with very little need for discussion. And we knew we were at variance with the norm that is… Read full post »

SYMPATHY, SHMYMPATHY!
Where Conjecture Hurts
the Receiver
There is a little habit we in America
all too often may indulge ourselves in. In terms of sharing, we
lack the courtesy to acknowledge others the fair way, preferring to
rise to the occasion only partially.
In my life, I've… Read full post »

DECISION: Should I stay or should I go? (not a flounce)
Okay, so the big day arrived,
during which I talked to my landlord regarding this whole deal. I'd
been saving money all year for yet another push into Outer
Mongolia, or wherever else I might bide.
Come to think of it, that's one of

CEASEFIRE!!
As controversy goes, our battles don't seem to consist of too many positive answers of late.
We have a varying field of view here. Some of us are that certain they know what's better, they are now unwilling to listen. Some seem driven by personal misfortunes seldom seen online in this context.… Read full post »
