Open Contest 2000/02/05

Spit fire-open contest. And he in his attire has chosen to gather with the par event in horizon.

When will the Zepher attract its cohorts? How shall Ecumenicus return to the deft renown?

With a jiff of the trick. So up air hardy you’ll not rather have them sick.

Each with a one of his exhalations. Providing explanations. And the rippled speech of your common seer.

This I say has entendre closer to sense than any ultimatum my dear.

Cloud Clarity

A clarity of space. Some hilarity in the race. A gander at the stock of our neighbors. A daily listing to chores through many labors. To reeve forth the unguent. To reap broad stars of lusty pent. A divine conflagration of peoples. Over broad passes and many steeples. The makeshift predilection of towers. From loose shrifts, the humble bowers.

Cavalcading like streetfell hippies. A curry of fell dashes from a sky paints paths trippy. Het diagramatical lour embellishing sheens of the topical spheres. Tectonic arch craftsman at the gears. With thunderbolt and looming shrouds. The way they stack up they’re as alive as the clouds

Join The Movement 1996/05/06

The time has come when I should join the movement. Thinking though my get up and go must have got up and went. Yet where? If I should care. Can this movement be?

If not standing beneath the gallows of a hangmans’ tree. Or as clouds high, born of tempest storming aloft the sea. I am here thinking. That it is a long road to instincting. If I have got to make this movement a part of me.

Warding off strife. Throughout my life. To live, love, and take a wife. With what else being rife. I want it shone. The way these thoughts into dreams are grown. Till our memories are honed. That each of us stands. With open hands. A member in the heart of gold band.

This movement, is it a tribe? Jah people, a revolutionary jibe. At the resting, souls of our earthly harmony. Telling what’s up. To each of us. You and me.

Change comes and we are on our own. Again protecting hearts from loath at what’s still ode. We’ve got to rise up singing. Having been brought low.

Focus By Consensus

What we are certain of will change. What knowledge lays before us we will remember. What we can describe through speech we are familiar with in thought. In that we see we know. In one sense are two things. Dignity is the consensus of mind. An entertainment is a linking of cant universals.

The pledge of the hypocrite is the camping of the crow. One’s rider should not expire at the cost of one’s stupidity. A league in throes has not the sense of self will to lead it. The anchor of the anger is the quire of the ire is the auld mad. Spiritual supposition is an enigma without redown.

There is a need for heroic measures in the spiritual recompense.

‘Sage’ The Horse(cantus abilus) Fall 1996

My sage has spoken to me of dreams in my head. That will come to life if my body can just grow old and not dead. My own love, in the Summer, a laud. No work to do, not a lien to place on Hod.

Oh great Sage of the Midwestern states. Come seek with souls to hymn and enunciate.

My great horse is named ol’ Sage. He eats locusts on a plate with mayonnaise.

Oh great Sage of my ocean. You are a great and good river flowing. All of your name I will soon need knowing. When I gain the key to your foreboding. And your grand waters make us out for growing.

I wish in any age to tread your waters. To await the day and return of your daughters. ‘Tis no shame to pay for a passage across with barter. So I took my lass to the riverside and there a movie I shot of her. I don’t possess your soul though I may be a martyr.

A real big river is on my mind. Rainfall is a very good sign. Way up North along the pines. Lazy in a stream with a boat’s incline. A levee on a way with sleeps to cull in winning wine.

Iconoclastic Fete Stances 1996/08

On Autumn nights when the rye in the fields has been harvested and put into bundles. Merrily and with stealth comes the cather of hay into the rye. To garner away the faith of accumulated  clave ceps of purpura from off the stalks. The bundled stalks of rye.

Politicians would argue to keep the clave crow on the rye and let the seekers have their fill from the milled grain and suspiration throughout the year slowly drawn along. But the cather could refuse and go out to pick a many lot in order to brig back the letryses of the garland with him to make out well in doling the larder of his accomplices. The gud stamp of the dance set.

Occasionally when propositioned by gypsies’ and their ghost and when they had enough some was given away. At the want of the best specimen for ingestion. Simply they are were boding of the thrown chances in a lucred plight. The having of dances in the arms of iconoclastic fete stances.

The politicians realizing the light coming long before dawn. Stalwart in doubt as to the wind weaving of survival in their grain stores and stirs. Wondering without refrain and often shunned. From the interior country where the travelers were known for coming out with the laughingstock of the rogue and rambling, the revelers and a rake.

The fact that gypsies had their own sundries of a tailor and wine to speak of the vintner of bleaky sun aum mantra chant nourishment. Taken heartfelt to dreaming child gait and sweet reminiscences. With strange calender romances they would thus have their dances in private on mountain sides beneath the moon.

New Day’s Harbor 1997/01

1. Peaceful sojourns of the new day’s harbor 2. Portable incandescent borne upon the water merrily in lengths of stream 3. Deprivation of conquest seeks shanty alms from the hillbilly and his ramshackle wife 4. Those in discourse, over templates, have a tremendous disposition towards tankard staffs 5. What strides are missing their foment up against intimate carousing and peril. 6. As mediums, the band may acclimate to the set of tracery arms 7. Into gigues that will spurs of argent chords among the dimension of a personal atrophie 8. As I myself am a pardoned member of an elite artist’s guild 9. I think that each membrance of a poetic prelude can stand with history 10. Against heresy that there will be lapses into the contingent scheme 11. Of involved metaphysics I have decided not to 12. Suppress those fantasies that led me through the dark 13. At night I wonder at ups and downs of brandishing a timely line 14. Coiled this be the braying consumption of elixers 15. That has brought my passage near to my ladies home 16. Her heart beating with tumults of breathy lathes 17. A pleasant scent about ways the air meandering skyward

Simple in dreams. Or so mine seem. Until I awake. And such thoughts can’t shake. I wish to God I could remember how. I learned so low to bow. Each night to get my rest. And in the morning test. Strains of amicable fate. In a soul’s way to consider late.

I miss those diamonds in the rough. Within my way to have enough. Time in each passing day. For a good thing’s lot to say. Still I try my dreams to remember. From flowering May till cold December. Then another year ends. And I’ve grown older again. No closer to a vision rife. More or less borne out of strife. With all the wars the nations wage. Civil in might yet sold for an age. I think that tomorrow will come. And I’ll still be called about a big ego just being a bum.

No, I am not really complaining though. Nor do I believe was Nero with his fiddle and bow. He probably laughed long into the night. As his own Rome fell in the fire light. Never to rise again would be a great big sin. For a human such as I. No, not to make children cry. I’d rather work on a pleasant change. And in my heart, love’s desire to arrange. Till again I prophesied on such. And shun possession of a need to crutch. With exercise of my freewill and mind. Serious in guise, roundabout wary to bind. Myself with foundling love. Lost for days, a winging lonesome dove. Settling down for a spell with me. Some given while, until dawn, when I set her free. To rise away stylized by sky. She’s leaving now, going on her own for a fly.

Alone again by myself. Personally concerned with my own good health. I can usually do anything I set my mind to. Yet these dreams elude me and I am made blue. Nothing seems to stay the same. Getting up at night to start a new game. Watching out my window for folks going by. Waiting for tender memory to bring me a sigh. I have walked the road enough to know. Which way heads down and what’s the way to go. A new day will come and I’ll be okay. For I have made up my mind to join in the play. Of wakeful thoughts that are entertained. By the store of wealth in a millennium’s grain. Judging by the look of things. I found out much about the price of an Angel’s wings. They’re heavier than most and weighed in gold. Made to bear you up to where the thunder God’s are bold.

There’s a heavenly score. Embattled and twixt in the loath of my lore. To speak kindly of such things as need. When babies cry, them life you must feed. Yet why this fear at the garden’s apple. Does a long pony ride bring sweat to our dapple? What men perform their very tricks of certainty. None who’ve ever heard of Athena’s great weavery. For she would surely tear them downs. And rip to shreds their fiendish crowns. Passing lythe out of hand. Numerous grains kept in an hourglass of sand.

An essential Deja vu is superconscious for a moment. Till I realize my instincts are what makes the feelings so potent. Without reason I am grabbing at straws. Chasing a fox and in the mud finding the print of his paws. So afraid at the braying of the hounds. Thinking of a den far away and its more familiar sounds. Growing around in singsong cantabile’s pace. Nurturing and weathering the animal in the race.

Of ephemeral whimsy I am fond. Strengthening for keeps the the permanence in a bond. Rascals and dodgers parade on the floor. Counting the hours golden in store. Infinite slumbers could never be my lot. If I could only awaken in these dreams that I have got. A genuine bed’s rest each and every night. Could no more than hinder my visions’ foundering in flight. They need a dark caress for their shades to grow. Even as Orion victorious in his hunt a great horn does blow.

Poetry oft lyrical in doubling quatrain. Happenstance quoted in a new refrain. A chorus rises to beseech the Sun. Bursting forth in solar flare where Apollo’s horses run. Afternoon’s towers mystical and cherished by the eye. Stealth and quickness to gain the Miller’s rye. Moonlit harranguing of the utmost intense. Come bachelors among us so tary a few gents. Guests of the household with a fortnight’s stay. Endeavour to practice a magic in hopes of a repay. Finite strathing of lightning warp above the sea. Fisherman’s  boats from from gathering storms flee. Choring a crewe of werks come clean. Dusting of a books pages foreboding foreign letters mean

Drawn On Some Far Ocean 1994/10/26

Louis lost at such a cost. But what be fate? Must I such paltry affection know? Sing a song heaven long and pray for yourself to understand if it is so that I may have to go and die.

For he is gone. My rightful son. I am to cry for spoils a witless gun and rapping out a force will not have me see her machining out my head. On out there like a drawn and incontinent supply-train of clones.

I am done trying. With all that can be taken for people and their lying. Now that a different set of climes is ripe for my good seed to be sown. I’ll get up and make out flyting one day for a way. Gain my bearing as hawksbeak in acquiescence to brave her ungangly sorrows. Like a dovecoat in seeing to some fair wit just by coming into her grace.

And in this my sentiment for her mystery I say bless my young with a want of the simple in things and the deep gratitude of thanks for the rest given. To those looking for the customary in their own acknowledging of somebody’s need for place.

Yes commence unthwarted by entreaties and brave what levity may become your want of a stiffled hilarity unquestioningly and in quiet. Something labored forth and told me to get my butt on down to the riverside. Where there I gained on a despairing cry of rite in want of what was a new and foundling premonition. This time tourilous in some intemperate want of stemming. Some on the strange for its own more than familiar use. And the river, well momentarily I could believe it was coming down the way for real and my love and I were laying beside it peacefully talking before drifting off to sleep. Comfitted in its lapping current and occasional plash.
