Coronal Ejections
Chunks of the sun’s plasma
Spewing forth coronal mass ejections
Ejections that change the magnetic field of our little planet
Jets of the sun’s lifeblood
Caught in a rapidly expanding corkscrew
Coils growing exponentially… Read full post »
Dancing the Cordax
I wander into a densely wooded place with you
Narrow untrodden ground near a stand of aspen
Clasped together tightly
My movements slight but significant
My body shifts as I peel away a layer of lichen
That

I have always viewed myself a seeker of the mystery
Not exactly knowing what it was or where it could be found
Seeking was a great amusement
Taking me on grand adventures
Flamenco dancing in Parc Güell in Barcelona

The first time we meet I feel you let me in
To the path beyond the hazy glimmer in your eyes
In the afternoon light of the coffee house
We listen and expound
On the theories and stories
We choose to… Read full post »
Buddhist Reunion
photo by James Maher Photography
It was Central Park in fall
A Buddhist reunion
Forty years ago these former Hungry Hippie Stoners
Enticed by the promise of food
A little Japanese woman taught them to chant
“NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO”
Chant for
Water Lily
(Georgia O'Keefe - Music-Pink and Blue II)
I walk out on the stage and see him
Middle of the front row
I dance and lift my legs in the air… Read full post »

What is a poet?
A poet is a creature who wrestles with her muse
The muse that uses diamond drill bits
Spinning with a deep buzz
Etching patterns in the poet’s frontal lobe
Spitting their worn diamond shavings
To fill in the missing pieces of the underdeveloped synapses… Read full post »
All In One
The last time we talked
We both remembered the time
When our lovemaking seemed
Possessed by kinetic energy
I could feel your tongue buried so deep
Inside me that you might never get it out
And

A dragonfly landed on my shoulder at a tattoo parlor in Haight-Ashbury
It cast a shadow that moves me to hover
In soft, flowing, iridescent cloth that shimmers in

I find myself in the family of giant sponges
I am here because of a congenital defect
Girl to sponge
Sponge to girl
An uncontrollable urge to absorb… Read full post »
Clubbing Poets
Celebrated as a poet with clarity of expression
Finding words from everyday life
“Poetry”, he said, “Is a way of living…..
A human activity, like baking bread or playing basketball.”
His imagery drawn from the California countryside

Chair
I used to think a chair was just for sitting
I have tried them in all sizes and functions
My favorite is my zero gravity chair
I remember playing pony boy with grandpa on his rocking chair
Bouncing on his knee as he

I write to the universe on bits of paper
Everything I want in this moment
Prepared for a virgin sacrifice
After the sage pipe is passed
After the directions are called
And the elements placed strategically around the altar
In this midnight

The Tao of Complications
I feel the shift when requests became demands
And I allow demands to press deeply into my thoughts
I see in my mirror only the face I show the world
I refuse to look beyond my ability to find

In soft breezes
Aspen leaves
Beg to fly away
Tiny angels tied by stems
To the earth
Milkweed pods
Express
Their sticky white
Mother’s milk
So that
Tiny red damselflies
