Poetry CD and  Booklet Two

1.
INTERCELLULAR
SPACE                       
           
Intercellular Space is a world,
A dimension of reality where form
Is liquid and flowing,
Where crystalline shapes
Are alive,
With intention and purpose.

Light permeates this space
Creating joyful patterns
Reflections, and shadows,
Where unnamed things are hiding.

2.
DRINKING HOT TEA                  

Mount Washington
Carries all kinds
On its back.

Little kids with
Rusty bikes,
Housewives
Dreaming about
Suburban living, and
Chicanos lying
Under old trucks
.........

3.
CHURCH ON
MONDAY                              

Hulking
Granite churches,
House empty echoes,
On Monday.

Dark sweaty floors,
Are covered
With damp,
Die-cut words,
Heaped in flaccid piles,
..............

4.
BLACK WIRED MACHINES
          
Black wired machines,
Whirl with silent humming,
Waiting in deep caverns,
Beneath dead cities,
Bolted, with
Interlocked coordination.

Circuitry matched to precision
Specifications,
................

5.
A SMALL DREAM
  
A needle was threaded
On an elephant's back,
Who went to the moon
In a big  yellow sack.

The needle was pushed,
through the eye of a fish,
Who ended her life
In a red chafing dish.
........

6.
HEY YOU PEOPLE
        
Hey you people, you better be
quiet,
Don’t yell and scream or start a
riot.
Study hard and just be cool,
Don’t jump around and act like a
fool.

Answer the questions
And read your books,
And don’t give the teachers
No dirty looks,
.....

7.
IN THE DARKNESS
   
The darkness is warm,
Soft and receptive,
Opening gently to
Tender explorations
And silent penetrations.

Cascading moments
Touch each other,
Rippling with shimmering
Waves of pleasure.
...............

8 .
MEDITATION
MEANDRINGS                   
     
All aspects are transitory
All choices are freely yours.
All that was done is.
What will be is now.
Nothing has ever been
Or will be.
..........

9.
MIND                                

Mind is the organ of
Self-perception for the
Infinite Universe,

Mind is the appearance of
Limitation within the
All Whole Life Being,

Mind is like a doorway
Upon the Ocean,
..............

10.
DRIFTWOOD MORNING              

Night breaks
Across, the sharp edge of morning,
Splintering, its dark hold,
Upon the black sky,
Scattering diamonds,
Of new-born daylight,
Into, the bright air.
........

11.
SILENCE SPEAKS                        

Etched sharp against
Breath of black night,
The moon!

Silent full force,
In perfect roundness,
Its existence speaks
Silently
To all who listen
............

12.
HOSPITAL                                  

White busy footsteps
Polished with dry whispers
Call me to small rooms
Where shiny, chrome-
plated                 
Personalities
Listen to living messages
Deciphered from my heart-beat.
............

13.  

BRIEF INTERLUDE                

Gray misty clouds
Seep under my eyelids,
Softly tumbling inward,
Cascading over,
Drifting downward,
Falling into the
Empty dark cavern,
..........

14.
COME AND
GONE                                     

Look there!

Raindrops are split  by

White

Flashing
Streaks
Across the
Bright yellow-green
Cold wet
Grass.
.............

15.
DARK AND
COLD                                          
  
Dark and cold,
Deep and flowing,
The river spreads out,
Unknown before me.

Churning and frothing,
Brimming with violence.
.............

16.
ECHOES OF VICTORIA               

I will not obey your
Harsh commands
To live my life as you prefer.

What small thing have you given
To cheer my heart,
To light the darkness
Left without your smile?
..........

17.
THE MEETING PLACE          

The meeting place
Of creamy thighs
Where tangled gold
In mesh entwined
Delights the eyes.

Can scarce conceal
The warm and wet,
..........

18.
SWIMMING                        

Swimming in
Cold sea
Crystal glass waves
Flow around me
.......

19.
THE GREAT WAVE               

We ride
The Great Wave.

At the crest,
We have our moment
Sparkling in the sun,
Splashing rainbows
And spectrum lights,
As we have our moment
From birth to death.
............................

20.
WHAT IS THE
FORCE                        

What is the force
That drives the artist's hand?
Does it lay within the fingers
Trained to be so quick
And all perceiving?

Or could it be
A molecular thing,
