boomerang

i'm embarking on a smile experiment.

i'll smile,
take tallies,
and return with results.

two days worth.

lets see what happens...

seedling

i'm on my way to the trees
the sea
and wind

and to think that i can even state this
without reason
is such a thought

because it implies my separation

which is unnatural

i yearn to discover if the trees
can hear my thoughts
and share my feelings
because they are so still

and in stillness comes clarity

perhaps they may bend to my inner experience
or in fact
i may bend to theirs

yet
if anything
i would be grateful to feel at least for
a moment
that i can tune in to the pulse of the earth
and the universe
and sever my deep involvement with civilization

so i may appreciate all that is around me
and begin to identify with the idea of

us

we

as not a coexistence of me or i and the beauty
of this world
but instead
a singular i
as in i am the world and the world is i

sky holds the sun

life, despite your influence on my desire to
keep tender with your close cousin nature,
you've managed to keep a steady pace
on good business in babylon, so
in lieu of this, thank you
so much and i offer
my deepest
gratitude.

love,

me

peach, plum, pear

what is beautiful...

can be witnessed in a single fleeting moment.

it's unaware of itself
and without ego.

idiosyncracies take recognition.

it is full and complete.
it births immediate sympathy.
it takes you by surprise
and whirls round and round naturally,
flexing its power

to show the truth of humanity in all its raw form
through uninhibited expression

of pain
delight
and everything sincere.

this fish

sliced open my world,

juiced it like an orange spinning clockwise

and i sipped it gently

as my knees began to wobble,

so i tripped and fell

now felt constellations frankenstein
