wealth sap

 wealth the full stomach
The stacked shelves
the fruit laden trees

The slowly expanding stomach
eyes survey shelves
body stationed as a tree

The abattoir smack
Blood fills wells
meat for the freeze

All riches are attracted
desire still swells
seduced by beliefs

Pedestrian novela

 The water sits there
edge of the drive
murky with neighborhood concern
accumulating when one washes their car

watching the street
Sun tries to evaporate it
smiling down that grin a happy teacher
but the puddle won't disappear

each person holds their scribbled scroll
lifting it slighty not to have it dip within this polluted soup
then arrogantly opening them up to declare their reasons for existance
Not a ripple or wave

Just a natural mirror for all the acting
capturing our little lives on a divine wire
to a comedy house in heaven

At the speed of life

 Cassidy sat on the stairwell
Said she wasn't feeling well
Said she had things to do
the shadow and the light

The speed of life

Our dog Roger ran up and down the coastal track
narrow and hugged by brambles
Littered with fallen branches
He outran those ancient ghosts

At the speed of life

Even my old father telling me life is but a trip
Prepare well and pack it all up
For the next adventure
Changing gear

over the speed of life

that imminent emergence

 water accumulates the contrary veins of the beast land
falling into one artery, bracing itself for the imminent dissolution
A real force through the deluges of rambunctious skies
collecting the same tones of the earth in it's floods

the origin of these agitated waters
Is the unseen mountain soul 
wearing the mist across the day
a beautiful dialogue with fertile skies

forested arms and hands reaching from snowcapped ranges
down to those tiny vibrant estuaries
boiling with life
with the light and dark

With the sweetness of freshwater
and the savoriness of saltwater
My own veins some western mish mash
her own veins the exotic brew

Thus the ocean kisses the rivers
with a never ending urgency
new life growing out of the fine silt
imminent emergence

(commas and irregular rhyme on purpose)

God dabbled in crypto

 He came down and converted my deep pond into a swimming pool
investments overflowed
My bail of hay and compost heap were neglected
keep the water in

as clear as it is
the wild creature has nowhere to hide
its many names have been screamed by the masses
hungry for some miracle in their wallets

strange shapes form over the horizon
born in Japan instilled into hackers psyches
into simplified thinkers minds
trendsetters and followers are chained

Thought out and felt in

 Theres a cauldron in the mind
and one in the heart
A few ingredients that long to be combined
and then consumed

There's a rope out of the head
and out of the heart
We hold onto it under the misconception
that it might carry us out toward richer realms

There's a path through our mind
and one in the heart
that if followed on the face of the earth
could angle like a smile

If you fail to prepare the feast
hungry eyes and mouths shining toward the fears of the father
the sweet remnants of the cauldrons sauces
To remind us of the past times that may no longer sustain us

There is a longing in the mind
and one in the heart
that avoids heaven and hell
surveying purgartory

The high ceilinged tent
that fits many modes of life
each a bubble shrinking and expanding with egos and conflict
each with it's own hundred species of colorful circus dramas

The membrain of the bubble concentrated and solidified thought residue
Evidence of feeling invisible yet incredibly real like gas inside a balloon

Spiritual appetite

 a hunger in the human spirit
A wild development in spirit
through the inside of the spine
like a monorail going up and down

Moving at the speed of light
powered by potent ambition
ignore false piety
ignore the permission to decadence

moving at the speed of light
to reign over a new world
pushing legs and brains forward
over the abandoned land and cities

eyes lock onto prey
stomach not attached to body
but resides in the sky
an appetite the extreme aspiration

moving at the speed of light
destroy the placating dance machine
and bow to order and progress
divine order and progress
