A course in trivialities
Some time ago, it hit me
just how final these things really are.
I don't know precisely when,
or even why,
but there was a day when it all just
-clicked-
and it made sense.
They tell me,
"you'll regret it,
you know. You never know
when you're going
to have the chance
again."
And who knows?
I may. I may.
But right now, I don't think
that I do. If I
-really did-
I'd be doing more than typing this to a place that won't listen,
to an inert computer screen
somewhere in the distance,
collecting words and pigment
pixel by pixel,
bit by bit,
to display to a group of people who
I've never met,
who are free to rip me ap

CCIG: An Ocean Soul
We come as the waves
moving in one swift motion
to overtake the shore
with the high tide
of high times
with flighted pride
under a black night sky.
An Ocean Soul, they said
so we carved circles into glass
making impressions to last
through night and day;
the trickster's moon
and the midnight sun.
Still we are carving,
circles to dictate our landings
circles to tell us of the past
circles to warn us of the present
circles that will never
see
the future
for
the future
only for
the sand.
We carve with blind eye
deaf ear and mute tongue
to speak the words no language could bear
the cross of Christ a relief

I ask the impossible: love me forever.
Love me old, love me new
love me broken, love me true
love me now, love me later
love me like there is no tomorrow
and love me like there was never a yesterday.
Love me in this moment
and project this to be all moments--
love me for one eternal second
like you've never loved before.
Love me like the stars in the sky
look down to see you smile
and then radiate in their happiness.
Love me like the moon loves the sun
for allowing it to borrow its warmth.
Love me like the water loves the land,
caressing her in its waves.
Love me divine, if you love me mundane.
Love me when the going is toug
From silk to roses
I felt a shrinking hole
be filled with thoughts of
white petals.
Once so hollow, the walls
seem to let the sun
in,
and help her grow.
One more grain.
Spreading her seeds
she flits by,
letting one land
ever so softly
in the tunnel
the worm once
called home.
She grows ther, now,
more and more
every day.
The worm,
at first unsure
what to think of
this new neighbor,
has now come to find
her to belong.
He inches closer to her,
opens his once cold-blooded
heart
and finds
a new rose growing
within.
He calls this
rose "love".
One more grain.
