Wake To This

not all who pass

in front of the Great Mothers chair

get passt with only a stare

some she looks at their hands

to see what sort of savages they were

In Ancient Sunlight

To The Reader

As you read, a white bear leisurely

pees, dyeing the snow

saffron,

and as you read, many gods

lie among lianas: eyes of obsidian

are watching the generations of leaves,

and as you read

the sea is turning its dark pages,

turning

its dark pages.

Salvation Mountain

Sky Ranch

o! sky dwellers

tarry where your heart is warm

let the day change

and follows ways

that keep you light
