brother hating brother
when exposed that they are men
acting with impunity
each is negligent again
lashing out in malice
harsh judgement from above
brother hating brother
like raven birthing dove
it’s not within their veins
that conflict seeds are sown
our simple human frailties are but
scared flowers bearing thorns
brother fighting brother
is an old hat on a child
the key to break the pattern
is with spirits reconciled

a single bird sits
outside of my window
on a branch of maple
his beak sharp orange
shrill bits chirp from it
he pauses and considers —
my concerns aren’t his

most of those
that listen best
are dead and gone
but in your chest
their wisdom stays
a tone is still clear
as perfect as when
their sound was here
spirit of death
O’ breath on the wind
port of eternal
entwined our sins
remember in love
reminiscing like porn
enlarging that spot
their kernel to form
enslaving our heart
attachment the curse
just for that ear
that once sang immersed

slow morning crawl
coffee and stare
far away look
minutes become
breath at a time
metronome sets
to forward go
the way of you
hurt begets pain
pain begets scars
scars become hard
yield not to wrath
a goal for now

the inevitable question
is there a pattern or not?
when applied to parts
life develops from I
celestial circle ‘round
field dance in sun
finger-tip touch tops
jettisoning pain
from moments once spent
in blind abandon
nurtures the light
surrounding the spark
keeping it snug
and forward of mind
to never give up
the soul in your eye

nose-tip
leads the way
steps first into now
focal point
in meditative breath
point of the spear
piercing peace

comfy clothes on chair or floor
cross the legged legs or not
hands cupped in lap palm up
slow breath deep and start
barely opened are the each
thumb tips close
eyes mouth cracked
tongue palette barely touch
acts that removes the you
body stuff deflects inspect
itch twitch scratch and shift
freeing field for open minds

the cats in the cradle
and life it goes on
sideswipes and abandonment
friendship can be, and not
for the sacristy’s plundered
and our nickname’s defiled
now strut and stroke minds
as ego hardens to mask
a horrified crossroads
the pull of The Singularity

wave that flag
vote that card
march and salute
loyalty for logic
fake news shout
pick news out
honor in loyalty
loyalty for logic
political pick voters
voters rolling over
remind your loyalty
loyalty for logic

twist and writhe
between the sheets
warm safe sweaty
food delivered
water and wine
sacred heights
cosmic depth
between the sheets
time folds inward
a world away
problems roil and roll
in knots wet
taut tug tight
between the sheets
all melts away
gone from me
in isolation I see
depression’s lonely stare
my gaunt gaping maw
between the sheets
