#vss365A billion angels grooved on a pinhead.
"Too easy," philosopher Thomas Aquinas said. "How many angels can dance on the #element carbon, with a diameter of 0.09nm, ejected from a star, & a surface temp of 15 million C?"
Gabriel gave the angels silica fabric socks, sunblock & water bottles.
you that alleyway wisp
the subtle sting of a joy just missed
me the dog lost in glass canyons
flesh beneath the banyan’s
promised bliss
mistook your whooshing skirt
for wind & scent for spring on earth
forgive me for my errors love
hid your truth till i ceased my search
#vss365a
The room above my quiet bones
is velvet opalescence.
The doors below its breathing dome
unfurl the choices I am blessed with.
When I’m not here, I’m floating there,
a glowing hologram in lotus,
feeling for the perfect door
before the choice beyond it closes.
#vss365a #vss365
Goddess shifts her part,
picks out the wet tangles in time,
and unfurls the cosmos.

ask of your sweet mixture
little leaf & we’ll sing the picture
of trees leaning beyond their lands
to intertwine their branching palms
our love a liberty from narrow groves
oblivious to the brilliant day
our blend of pale & bolder roots
produced our perfect golden shoot

The dying & the riverbeds are drying
& the bundle in my arms;
everywhere the wailing & the flailing
& in her eyes I have the salve.
The jostle for a simple glimpse of joy
& we are giggling on the rug —
she brings the world some equanimity with every rosy little hug.
#vss365a
Her braids are black cyclones,
uncollapsibly blended,
bright nebulae asway.

After another day of
keeping the world alive,
the selfless air settles
like a fortune on the land,
a dusky silk adorning all of us
with the wealth of breath.

People dance across my psyche
like the woven rug it is —
Persian, perhaps, were it dyed any lovelier than bloodless white.
Heels hit the warp and weft, stamp
my wool with their rhythms:
their bright songs. And so I sing them softly, still listening
for my own.

MOOD—smoky bistro
MOTIF—midnight psyche
REGIME—iron-bolt vintage
TOTEM—ancient willow
MYTHOS—lotus crucible
CENTURY of the craven
EPOCH of cosmic scars
SCENE—Phantasm slips through patch of fog, silver wings aglow, to embrace and protect sentient diners.
Omen or ruse?

Tractor beams meet pure flesh.
Those dumb machines can’t protect
their humans from what’s next...

We’re pressed for time like
epochs oozing from olives —
so ditch the pits for peaks.

The joy regime patrols
your laugh lines, a rule of light —
please invade my land.

Accepting ourselves
melts the mythos that we are
something less than wondrous.

I found a new bank for my silver—
quieter, unwalled, moonlit.
My deposits gleam in the shallows,
drawing the loitering jackdaws.
I have freely scattered my savings
for the river to sweep away
or swallow as it will. Let nature claim
its metal — I have had my fill.
#vss365a
Our silver house untarnished,
a luster lasting eons.
Nobility the varnish
cloistering a quiet freedom.
Our sigil breathes a secret,
flickers torches at the tree line:
we reassure the streamlet
till it finds the stormy sea line.

dearest constellation
did you get my other letters
i was unsure so mapped
your last-known address
& caught an outbound comet
chased your glimmer
through cosmic canyons
aurora-green with starbuds
but sadly crashed in this
glade of hazy ether
& you are nowhere to be seen
#vss365a
I took my moods to the river
for a day of aimless floating —
none in charge, none forgotten.
They laid out in the sun, alive
in the warmth, sharing their
desires and reasons for being.
I thanked each of them for
their gifts and set them all
adrift on a current of peace.

Planet Mars, angry
and scarred, was a green queendom
before dragons went rogue.
When done there, they flew
to a planet more blue, where
they lurk in caves of gold.

That noonday in May,
that beauty in the bistro,
my sparkling future.
I could tell she was a great
mother or would be. Both.
Thanks to my wise sister
for urging me to approach her;
to the paper with her number
that my sweaty palm clutched
for dear life. My dear, my life.

watching episodes of wind

In Vega I met
the king of vintage space junk,
haggled over Earth chunks.

Your throat a thunderbolt —
truth is spoken, clouds are broken.
The arid land of lies
becomes again a crystal ocean.
