Appetites
Emotional satiety
Reactionary avoidance
Dismissal of a lifetime of pain
Turned to satiated contentment
Fake fulfilment
Burped & bloated
Ventilated wails follow the night
Stuff it in puff it out
Where taste & swallow
Seek more and more
Harnessed pleasures
Tools of the tongue
I need do nothing
Save ingest sun light
On an empty beach
Sounds of surf ‘s ride in and out
White crested waves cover
Grief hidden in caves
Cream beneath my collar bone
Knee joints in a twisted baquette
Popcorn nestled in the splintered
Small of my back
Polished black obsidian relief
From a stone heart
Worlds Away in Sync
Electric lime colored insect
Vanished into the forest on my arm
Crawled into wires, towers, cables under oceans
Came face to face with
Worldwide spider web of words
Communication’s catalytic converter
Carbs to sugar running on empty
Land line’s jumbled hymns
Secret songs
Spread the King’s word
Flickered lit candles
Painted sainted icons
Once in sync with spirit’s essence
Whirls like tornados
Taking telephone poles down
Bring it On
Marine estuary
Low tide gazebo
Stonehenge port of Oakland
West coast rocks
Around Goose families
Mother hisses loud
When we step too close
To five soft clumsy furry babies
Small child beguiled by goose poop
Walks barefoot in black sticky sand
Dry engine oil seeped from
Heavy boats and big rig caravans infuse
His soul oblivious to global crisis
Gazes up to elusive moon in mid-day sky
Engaged he is essential to
Humanity’s best self
