    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;What were the scuttling claws?
&lt;br/&gt;I wasn't paying attention.
&lt;br/&gt;Traveling moonbeams along neuro-electric
&lt;br/&gt;tracks
&lt;br/&gt;distracts
&lt;br/&gt;displaces segments of time.
&lt;br/&gt;I'm fine.  No meds, no precious
&lt;br/&gt;minutes ignored in a foreign-speaking
&lt;br/&gt;doctor's presence
&lt;br/&gt;forever short-circuiting my essence
&lt;br/&gt;trading well-established chronic pain
&lt;br/&gt;for devils' staccato dancing through my brain.
&lt;br/&gt;Meditation, mediation, Buddha's great epiphany:
&lt;br/&gt;the middle way
&lt;br/&gt;Join us!  Joyous! Riding the perfect wave,
&lt;br/&gt;Milky bright foam carrying home
&lt;br/&gt;whatever's left 
&lt;br/&gt;after grand adventure.
&lt;br/&gt;Mountain crevice
&lt;br/&gt;special hidden lives
&lt;br/&gt;immune to humanity's
&lt;br/&gt;vague fascinations.
&lt;br/&gt;Ever intent upon keeping the flame
&lt;br/&gt;between temptation and salvation
&lt;br/&gt;hungry beasts
&lt;br/&gt;angry winds
&lt;br/&gt;our place of safety 
&lt;br/&gt;so fragile, contingent on
&lt;br/&gt;circumstance.
&lt;br/&gt;I can't help you while
&lt;br/&gt;you deny
&lt;br/&gt;my existence.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;"At the 11th hour""
&lt;br/&gt;self-reflection
&lt;br/&gt;in infinite regression
&lt;br/&gt;significant omens
&lt;br/&gt;legends and runes
&lt;br/&gt;Some keep careful notation
&lt;br/&gt;codes, clocks, keystones
&lt;br/&gt;Ravens flocking
&lt;br/&gt;as foretold
&lt;br/&gt;patterns, synchronicities.
&lt;br/&gt;Brains evolve with dangers
&lt;br/&gt;sensory scanners
&lt;br/&gt;filtered through parameters
&lt;br/&gt;call out Warning!  Warning!
&lt;br/&gt;far too often, far too loud
&lt;br/&gt;A simple flower, patterned like
&lt;br/&gt;sunlight, tranquil scent,
&lt;br/&gt;soothing startling
&lt;br/&gt;lost in sensation
&lt;br/&gt;each step, each succession
&lt;br/&gt;lightly breathed
&lt;br/&gt;in idiosyncratic time.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A Letter to the Ship’s Captain
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Stop deceiving me.
&lt;br/&gt;I am on to you
&lt;br/&gt;And your crew
&lt;br/&gt;Like cheez whiz
&lt;br/&gt;On a stale cracker.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I want to know
&lt;br/&gt;Where are the
&lt;br/&gt;Luxurious stopovers,
&lt;br/&gt;The sandy beaches,
&lt;br/&gt;Or the beautiful women.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I thought that
&lt;br/&gt;This trip was one
&lt;br/&gt;For sun and fun,
&lt;br/&gt;But it’s nothing but a scam
&lt;br/&gt;And I want a refund.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The sun hasn’t shone
&lt;br/&gt;For quite some time
&lt;br/&gt;And exactly how much rain
&lt;br/&gt;Can an ocean hold
&lt;br/&gt;Before even it overflows?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It’s a wonder
&lt;br/&gt;This boat still floats
&lt;br/&gt;With all the rough water
&lt;br/&gt;We’ve encountered
&lt;br/&gt;Along the way.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I think I’m becoming seasick.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Every night I lie in my bunk
&lt;br/&gt;Listening to the waves
&lt;br/&gt;Crash up against the ship
&lt;br/&gt;And pray that this hull
&lt;br/&gt;Is a sturdy one.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;This is where the idea is born.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;soft green meadows gently disappearing into fall
&lt;br/&gt;sounds of dying, scent of woodfire and candlelight
&lt;br/&gt;no separation between what is becoming
&lt;br/&gt;accept and be revealed
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;summer's wild adventures
&lt;br/&gt;spring was a torrent of clarity, precious rain,
&lt;br/&gt;Earth coarse, ready for fecund pleasure
&lt;br/&gt;Queen of night in daylight's realm
&lt;br/&gt;obsessed in flowering
&lt;br/&gt;roses and daffodils
&lt;br/&gt;valleys and nubile hills
&lt;br/&gt;all is vanity and laughing vice
&lt;br/&gt;"But, Mother, I'm not a nice girl.
&lt;br/&gt;I'm a creature of the breeze; secure in shadow;
&lt;br/&gt;alive in the cutting edge of the storm."
&lt;br/&gt;Myth in revision
&lt;br/&gt;standing at the back of the playground
&lt;br/&gt;learning theater, tucking metaphors
&lt;br/&gt;through interstices of sense and dream
&lt;br/&gt;In spring, kicking stones along sandy riverbeds
&lt;br/&gt;reading the classics
&lt;br/&gt;expecting valor, glory, dramatic lines
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Summer deceives
&lt;br/&gt;the stink of rot where flowers bloom
&lt;br/&gt;ancient feuds, retaliations, rage
&lt;br/&gt;tyrannosaurus feeding future waste,
&lt;br/&gt;absorbing a zeitgeist of want, of predation
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;within greed swollen seed infectious fear
&lt;br/&gt;search for further truth
&lt;br/&gt;mythology frustrates, curls back on its own ash
&lt;br/&gt;burn with hazy summer wine and dance
&lt;br/&gt;feet connecting dust to sky -- but only in designated
&lt;br/&gt;spheres, with designated peers, self-selected inhibitions
&lt;br/&gt;sweat out poison into the ground; now, eat the bounty
&lt;br/&gt;midsummer farce, far from clear, far from sunrise,
&lt;br/&gt;counting out the chimes as if time were treasure
&lt;br/&gt;silly summer madness as if what matters
&lt;br/&gt;is so circumscribed, so predictable
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Early autumn firelight
&lt;br/&gt;reminiscent of witch hunts, ghosts of calvary,
&lt;br/&gt;dire warnings and endless hide and strike
&lt;br/&gt;the game, the funhouse, turns deadly
&lt;br/&gt;sanctuary calls, demanding sacrifice
&lt;br/&gt;the noble phoenix fed on frankenseed
&lt;br/&gt;can not rise
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;skies descend, dark mirroring
&lt;br/&gt;smell the woodsmoke, intoxicating, soft and sweet
&lt;br/&gt;masks the taste of bitter bile, secret vomiting
&lt;br/&gt;starving despite harvest's gay array of treats
&lt;br/&gt;faded, nearly blind, falling in and out of
&lt;br/&gt;shamanic fever, primeval native dancers beyond sight,
&lt;br/&gt;ripple of tribal beat at the periphery
&lt;br/&gt;ecstatic vision dark/light/agony and brilliant breaks
&lt;br/&gt;starbright constellations
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Traversing worlds
&lt;br/&gt;seasons, years, moments of clarity
&lt;br/&gt;no need to travel, to invent boundaries
&lt;br/&gt;dance of the highlands warmth and sustenance
&lt;br/&gt;permeates 
&lt;br/&gt;makes whole
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;October 23, 2009

&lt;br/&gt;Any form created by the insect-king. 
&lt;br/&gt;It is stinging it's hooks my eyes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For a man of anger.. 
&lt;br/&gt;Who's dogs are by him..
&lt;br/&gt;The world is a dangerous place...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everybody should become a seer..
&lt;br/&gt;The power of knowledge...
&lt;br/&gt;Is no power over wisdom..
&lt;br/&gt;You can see it..
&lt;br/&gt;How time can crumble..
&lt;br/&gt;Being forgotten is being the past..
&lt;br/&gt;Rather remember in the spirit..
&lt;br/&gt;From where we came...
&lt;br/&gt;From where the worlds seperated..
&lt;br/&gt;From being lost.. to being found....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A preacher in word..
&lt;br/&gt;Cause the word has been raining on our being..
&lt;br/&gt;Since our voice has been found. 
&lt;br/&gt;I congratulate the ones that work on their body language...
&lt;br/&gt;For the feelings they wish to share..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Big babies with guns...
&lt;br/&gt;Trained grubbs with sophisticated machinery...
&lt;br/&gt;Humps of meat with cell-phones...
&lt;br/&gt;Skeletons with an aura of organs...
&lt;br/&gt;Torsos with protrusions..
&lt;br/&gt;Knuckled tentacles on the end of their limbs..
&lt;br/&gt;Grabbing, rooting, smoothtalking, ghostfaces..
&lt;br/&gt;Dragon carrying, marchwalking, dancing queens.. 
&lt;br/&gt;All the difference.. all the same..
&lt;br/&gt;No hiding from the rain...
&lt;br/&gt;The pain for extra more pleasure...
&lt;br/&gt;Some like to hurt themselves..
&lt;br/&gt;Jump in front of trains..
&lt;br/&gt;Cut their wrist to see if they bleed.
&lt;br/&gt;To feel what living is...
&lt;br/&gt;To feel what they once was lost
&lt;br/&gt;Can be found back...
&lt;br/&gt;Some force it back in anger..
&lt;br/&gt;The dictators.. the bullies..
&lt;br/&gt;Cry baby..... cry.....
&lt;br/&gt;Oh baby... cry so hard...
&lt;br/&gt;Let the sobs get in your throat..
&lt;br/&gt;All the pain is collecting right in there...
&lt;br/&gt;Cry baby..cry...
&lt;br/&gt;Let it flow into your nose from there
&lt;br/&gt;Like a waterfall is clashing on giant rock... 
&lt;br/&gt;Let it flow baby flow...
&lt;br/&gt;Break it in pieces baby.. stir it to liquid....
&lt;br/&gt;Let it dissolve baby.... that's it... 
&lt;br/&gt;Dissolve it through the nose, mouth, eyes and ears..
&lt;br/&gt;Those tears of trauma...
&lt;br/&gt;That spit of fever...
&lt;br/&gt;Throw it out baby... let it flow.. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Let your demons show their faces... 
&lt;br/&gt;Release them now...
&lt;br/&gt;Put them in the arms of the white knight.... 
&lt;br/&gt;His sword is by his side.. 
&lt;br/&gt;The one who's face is hidden under a shining armor...
&lt;br/&gt;All his light says yes....
&lt;br/&gt;All his light is healing.. 
&lt;br/&gt;He will seal your deals...
&lt;br/&gt;And set your spirit in momentum..
&lt;br/&gt;Let it flow baby... it's never too late....
&lt;br/&gt;Give it in his hands.. 
&lt;br/&gt;The white knight in a dream...
&lt;br/&gt;He found you already...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And only you...
&lt;br/&gt;only you...
&lt;br/&gt;are all alone...
&lt;br/&gt;Alone in your head...
&lt;br/&gt;But together in all hearts of man..
&lt;br/&gt;Beautiful spirits kiss your neck...
&lt;br/&gt;Holy ghosts massage your back...
&lt;br/&gt;The invisible doctors operate...
&lt;br/&gt;and take all of the pain away...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Pain was pleasure once before...
&lt;br/&gt;Never again.......  not anymore&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;life living important to Nature
&lt;br/&gt;seemingly obvious and yet not so
&lt;br/&gt;definitions by the human-kind
&lt;br/&gt;tend to cause confusion
&lt;br/&gt;where life’s cognitive capabilities 
&lt;br/&gt;seem to dictate a kind of hierarchy
&lt;br/&gt;wherefore proselytized about
&lt;br/&gt;that a lesser kind of life 
&lt;br/&gt;was created or evolved in a way 
&lt;br/&gt;as the servant to human–kind
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;as if life's fate or future 
&lt;br/&gt;depends on some kind of life
&lt;br/&gt;as a self-appointed taskmaster
&lt;br/&gt;maybe the future of humanity
&lt;br/&gt;is systemically reliant upon
&lt;br/&gt;the way other kinds of life
&lt;br/&gt;live or continue to live in Nature
&lt;br/&gt;for who has proven more worthy 
&lt;br/&gt;in sustaining life, humanity
&lt;br/&gt;or the rest of life living together
&lt;br/&gt;did not other kinds of life 
&lt;br/&gt;come to be and then survive 
&lt;br/&gt;way long, long before 
&lt;br/&gt;the human came to be
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;oh humanity, so brilliant and wise
&lt;br/&gt;with your superior mind power
&lt;br/&gt;stop and ponder this through
&lt;br/&gt;have not other kinds of life risen 
&lt;br/&gt;aspired and fought to dominance
&lt;br/&gt;only then to suffer a demise
&lt;br/&gt;thereafter leaving about traces
&lt;br/&gt;bringing to mind a remembrance
&lt;br/&gt;imprinted in time as a lesson
&lt;br/&gt;as to the surviving process of life
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;how life living life, affects
&lt;br/&gt;sustains and preserves
&lt;br/&gt;all of life’s kinds by being 
&lt;br/&gt;interrelated together as one
&lt;br/&gt;connected and interdependent
&lt;br/&gt;within Nature as a whole system 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If human-kind is to go on
&lt;br/&gt;and not suffer a demise as a kind
&lt;br/&gt;human-kind must learn to use 
&lt;br/&gt;its gift of mind along with
&lt;br/&gt;the lessons of lived experience
&lt;br/&gt;about the process of life living life 
&lt;br/&gt;why so, because only life living
&lt;br/&gt;matters to Nature, not kind

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;As if it were clay, pulled from anger.
&lt;br/&gt;I see the earth turn to stone, crumbling, turning to dust. 
&lt;br/&gt;Her last being, not to be confused with just a smear on the lens of the observer. 
&lt;br/&gt;A thick mist where light shines through.
&lt;br/&gt;Underworldy fallen ones.
&lt;br/&gt;Lick the entrails.
&lt;br/&gt;Sharpening their teeth around their rough tongues.
&lt;br/&gt;Knowing shudders, stinging, shaking skin. 
&lt;br/&gt;That makes ones scratch their self open to the soul. 
&lt;br/&gt;The last spark, rising from the ashes.
&lt;br/&gt;The cast skins, decay in time.
&lt;br/&gt;A blood-red carpet, covers the sloping stairs.
&lt;br/&gt;In a space so black it seems flat.
&lt;br/&gt;Ascend the steps by hands and knees.
&lt;br/&gt;The road ahead appears.
&lt;br/&gt;The walked road vanishes.
&lt;br/&gt;The grasses that grow between the stones.
&lt;br/&gt;They spread their seed singing:
&lt;br/&gt;"Go on.. go on.. there is but one road.
&lt;br/&gt;This is the road... the only road."
&lt;br/&gt;I state they are crazy.
&lt;br/&gt;Their melody make me suspect.
&lt;br/&gt;There is another road.
&lt;br/&gt;Where no halm of grass goes. 
&lt;br/&gt;My plasters fall off.
&lt;br/&gt;The wounds reveal on my clammy hands.
&lt;br/&gt;Breathing, yawning, overcome with sleep.
&lt;br/&gt;They don't know that I see them.
&lt;br/&gt;I kiss them and they sleep.
&lt;br/&gt;Step by step, take it easy here.
&lt;br/&gt;Don't drop the bacon.
&lt;br/&gt;On the mirror-smooth floor.
&lt;br/&gt;On which ships are drawn.
&lt;br/&gt;Slaves are chained.
&lt;br/&gt;Whips are immortalized in their necks.
&lt;br/&gt;Sweat and tears flow across the deck.
&lt;br/&gt;The captain is possessed.
&lt;br/&gt;The cats are stuck, biting his hands.
&lt;br/&gt;He lets his blood flow carelessly.
&lt;br/&gt;For his mistress with the animal-eyes. 
&lt;br/&gt;Who, hungry for confessions of the stars,
&lt;br/&gt;licks the liquid from the ground. 
&lt;br/&gt;The mud on the tongue makes systems melt.
&lt;br/&gt;During waking dreams snakes embrace.
&lt;br/&gt;In the eye that is hidden.
&lt;br/&gt;The one that knock the crown from the king's head.
&lt;br/&gt;"No way... yes way..." in a tone
&lt;br/&gt;A gentleman does not possess.
&lt;br/&gt; "Lift  out, lift down.. lift up.."
&lt;br/&gt;Like one that does not heat the core..
&lt;br/&gt;"Let out.. let in.. let up.."
&lt;br/&gt;That makes the cheeks blush..
&lt;br/&gt;In the climate change of the century.
&lt;br/&gt;Combed out.. dressed up and in control..
&lt;br/&gt;Just a bunch of crap..
&lt;br/&gt;..on the bottom of an empty can of beans.
&lt;br/&gt;No.. rather..instead..
&lt;br/&gt;A beast that growls..
&lt;br/&gt;A beast that does not think but knows...
&lt;br/&gt;That dances in the flames of the sun..
&lt;br/&gt;A sun himself this beast is..
&lt;br/&gt;It's light can caress and sting. 
&lt;br/&gt;Seduce.. embrace.. break..
&lt;br/&gt;In appearance of dreams and memories.
&lt;br/&gt;The vase emptied.
&lt;br/&gt;Filled again with glisting gold.
&lt;br/&gt;The beauty of an aroused flare..
&lt;br/&gt;Over rustic roads.
&lt;br/&gt;With flowers that speak.
&lt;br/&gt;How beautiful is everybody they see. 
&lt;br/&gt;Smiling in the sun.
&lt;br/&gt;The emotion conquered..
&lt;br/&gt;Staying in being.. &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I'm sort of out of sync 
&lt;br/&gt;not quite in harmony it seems 
&lt;br/&gt;As far as normal 
&lt;br/&gt;I'm the abnormality living in the norm 
&lt;br/&gt;Mere torture for me to sit still 
&lt;br/&gt;or even try to still my mind 
&lt;br/&gt;Thinking always 
&lt;br/&gt;perhaps from the sheer wonder of it all 
&lt;br/&gt;Others see me as a rebel or lost 
&lt;br/&gt;not having a set way 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But I don’t see reality as being preset 
&lt;br/&gt;as if pre-given 
&lt;br/&gt;A life not fixed gives hope 
&lt;br/&gt;variability in life can bring joy 
&lt;br/&gt;Constantly thinking 
&lt;br/&gt;doesn't make all of my thoughts in vain 
&lt;br/&gt;Frustration, worry, anxiety 
&lt;br/&gt;and stress in thought, I accept 
&lt;br/&gt;I cope by thinking of reality 
&lt;br/&gt;as being intelligently progressive 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Self discovery of life with a sense of wonder 
&lt;br/&gt;can bring hope and joy 
&lt;br/&gt;And yet when thinking about it 
&lt;br/&gt;much struggle through effort within thinking 
&lt;br/&gt;might be what's needed

&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;I could
&lt;br/&gt;if I willed it
&lt;br/&gt;go inward
&lt;br/&gt;beyond the stratosphere
&lt;br/&gt;infinite bliss
&lt;br/&gt;the whole of the real
&lt;br/&gt;I know, I feel
&lt;br/&gt;eternity pulls me
&lt;br/&gt;grasping my ambient air
&lt;br/&gt;into awareness
&lt;br/&gt;all ways my destiny
&lt;br/&gt;incandescent transcendence
&lt;br/&gt;resplendent artist's delight
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Still
&lt;br/&gt;here
&lt;br/&gt;in these moments
&lt;br/&gt;stuck in migrating vibrations
&lt;br/&gt;attached to this Earth
&lt;br/&gt;mired (but not beyond mirth,
&lt;br/&gt;cosmic inspiration)
&lt;br/&gt;miasmically
&lt;br/&gt;to throes and woes
&lt;br/&gt;undefined transformation
&lt;br/&gt;laborious birth
&lt;br/&gt;I am dignified, made whole
&lt;br/&gt;giving service to vision
&lt;br/&gt;corroded, corrupted,
&lt;br/&gt;yet shining below that surface
&lt;br/&gt;I see 
&lt;br/&gt;and uncover the light

&lt;br/&gt;sweetly biting snow
&lt;br/&gt;invigorating mounting
&lt;br/&gt;rising through long still,

&lt;br/&gt;toward feeling

&lt;br/&gt;The moments go by if you forget they're there.  Sucking in sweetness, hot sugared coffee, aroma into memory.
&lt;br/&gt;It might be a warm, clammy late summer afternoon.  Hints of autumn like blackberry spicing the air.
&lt;br/&gt;The people here are decent.  They smile to make conversation a pleasant bit of business.
&lt;br/&gt;They want me to feel safe, cared for.  It doesn't matter that we are never more than strangers,
&lt;br/&gt;passing faces, smiling.  They bring me coffee with sugar and plastic sticks for stirring.
&lt;br/&gt;In this moment all of the world turns so skillfully I move along without pause for acknowledgement,
&lt;br/&gt;stealthily aware.

&lt;br/&gt;the island part of which the Scots fondly call
&lt;br/&gt;New Scotland, known in Latin as Nova Scotia
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;so many eagles around, similar to crow in number
&lt;br/&gt;found roosting throughout the Northeast, USA
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;eagles glided down past both our heads as silent
&lt;br/&gt;and seemingly as large as some stealth bomber
&lt;br/&gt;or if to imagine the sensation of a prehistoric 
&lt;br/&gt;thunderbird flying by ominously in hunt of prey
&lt;br/&gt;stirring the blood gratefully you’re not a victim
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;spiritual experiences like with eagle as a mystic
&lt;br/&gt;heighten my empathic sensitivity to premonition
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;our watching of the eagles maneuvering in flight
&lt;br/&gt;brought forth a mystical illumination of my spirit
&lt;br/&gt;I felt healed by the shadowing wingspan of eagle
&lt;br/&gt;spiritually it reassured my mysticism is not in vain
&lt;br/&gt;and too showed me psychic premonition has value
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;hopefully as eagle, my intelligently progressive and 
&lt;br/&gt;transitionally perceptive insights will bring healing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;spending so much time with so many eagles nearby
&lt;br/&gt;watching the eagle interact with its surroundings
&lt;br/&gt;taught me the observer that eagle lives in harmony 
&lt;br/&gt;with mother earth, while being of something more
&lt;br/&gt;as if connected to all of Nature as a whole system
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;like Scots leaving home for Nova Scotia, like eagle
&lt;br/&gt;some of us will fly beyond mother earth to survive

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;outside deep into the wooded drumlin 
&lt;br/&gt;north of our little cape cod style home 
&lt;br/&gt;somewhere in the wetland by the brook 
&lt;br/&gt;perched up in a pine tree, the barred owl 
&lt;br/&gt;hooting its familiar: who-cooks-for-you 
&lt;br/&gt;and who-cooks-for-all, musical serenade 
&lt;br/&gt;as if to be the Pavarotti of the woods 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;a performance thought to keep us afar, yet 
&lt;br/&gt;spiritually as mystic, I’m drawn to this owl 
&lt;br/&gt;wanting to know more fully its vocal message 
&lt;br/&gt;the vision embedded in its magical mystery 
&lt;br/&gt;possibly embodying Nature’s silent wisdom 
&lt;br/&gt;stored in the energy of the owl’s tonal hoot 
&lt;br/&gt;learned during struggle throughout the ages 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;walking one day down a path in the drumlin 
&lt;br/&gt;the barred owl majestically flew over-head 
&lt;br/&gt;gliding so effortlessly between the tree tops 
&lt;br/&gt;while dropping a falling gift like a snowflake 
&lt;br/&gt;one single feather, landing softly at my feet 
&lt;br/&gt;quickly I bent over, grasping the gift in hand 
&lt;br/&gt;hoping it to infuse me fully with its meaning 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;yes me, born with an empathic sensitivity 
&lt;br/&gt;intuitively and emotively, I have a felt sense 
&lt;br/&gt;as to information stored in Nature’s energy 
&lt;br/&gt;but this owl feather, I had no felt sense of it 
&lt;br/&gt;I felt rejected as the feather being discarded 
&lt;br/&gt;why would owl spiritually deny me to know 
&lt;br/&gt;any lessons learned in Nature from the past 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;thinking as I turned away to go, how selfish 
&lt;br/&gt;followed with my felt sense of the owl’s eyes 
&lt;br/&gt;not peering at me at all, but way beyond me 
&lt;br/&gt;as if to give me a premonition of future events 
&lt;br/&gt;events from a past of causal and acausal acts 
&lt;br/&gt;waiting for a mystic like myself to fully discern 
&lt;br/&gt;if I wouldn't over-focus on one act of a feather 
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;the cheek of a beautiful woman 
&lt;br/&gt;laughing  lighting the whole planet 
&lt;br/&gt;my light gives rise first to life 
&lt;br/&gt;then to eyes used to perceive my light 
&lt;br/&gt;skin cells that absorb my power 
&lt;br/&gt;leaving their solar-sailing-ancesters 
&lt;br/&gt;behind so they could crawl out of their 
&lt;br/&gt;primordial ooze 
&lt;br/&gt;to blink rudely into my new sun 
&lt;br/&gt;and move about the land and sea
&lt;br/&gt;under their own propulsion
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i do not even exist 
&lt;br/&gt;I am a tree falling 
&lt;br/&gt;in the forest 
&lt;br/&gt;when no one is there 
&lt;br/&gt;to hear me!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Four, My Secret Muse
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We try to tell you
&lt;br/&gt;explain so clearly
&lt;br/&gt;you must need so badly
&lt;br/&gt;to be blind
&lt;br/&gt;What twisted so
&lt;br/&gt;maliciously your mind?
&lt;br/&gt;Is it your God -- Created
&lt;br/&gt;that greedy leaders may 
&lt;br/&gt;more easily prevail?
&lt;br/&gt;Is it guilt and shame seeded
&lt;br/&gt;by consistent training insisting that you fail?
&lt;br/&gt;Enemies of chaos, steeped in fear
&lt;br/&gt;"Anything I will to you; just save me!"
&lt;br/&gt;Lost to balance, lost to whole
&lt;br/&gt;possibilities, splintering reality,
&lt;br/&gt;losing consciousness, losing
&lt;br/&gt;the ability
&lt;br/&gt;to be free
&lt;br/&gt;or sane
&lt;br/&gt;Fighting off complexity with
&lt;br/&gt;angry names, a screen of stones
&lt;br/&gt;thrown in bloody sacrifice
&lt;br/&gt;Eternal life is yours, we scream
&lt;br/&gt;While you destroy your birthright
&lt;br/&gt;in service to
&lt;br/&gt;a conjured dream
&lt;br/&gt;of denial
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;II.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We who endure that searing penalty
&lt;br/&gt;for being born other than imperial
&lt;br/&gt;for being torn into what we
&lt;br/&gt;are told is real
&lt;br/&gt;without power to protect
&lt;br/&gt;ourselves from venal human scum
&lt;br/&gt;brothers of the order
&lt;br/&gt;spreading hatred
&lt;br/&gt;like any venereal disease
&lt;br/&gt;We no longer need to meet you
&lt;br/&gt;cowering on our knees
&lt;br/&gt;Ordained in derisive delight
&lt;br/&gt;enlightened, relieved of our plight
&lt;br/&gt;It's yours now to decide:  flight or
&lt;br/&gt;frightened obeisance.
&lt;br/&gt;Karma's a hot potent bitch
&lt;br/&gt;unschooled in mercy
&lt;br/&gt;(education cuts don't guarantee
&lt;br/&gt;ignorance of what is taught 
&lt;br/&gt;on these mean streets)
&lt;br/&gt;Witches reclaiming noble heritage,
&lt;br/&gt;reframing herstories
&lt;br/&gt;can no more be beaten
&lt;br/&gt;by usurped power.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;III.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Listen, little one, we will prevail
&lt;br/&gt;Though born and forced to serve in
&lt;br/&gt;our master's jail
&lt;br/&gt;watching every moment for our chance
&lt;br/&gt;we will break free
&lt;br/&gt;to adventure, romance
&lt;br/&gt;dancing away the chill of
&lt;br/&gt;foreign hills
&lt;br/&gt;etched in leaves and grass;
&lt;br/&gt;hiding in enchanted castles,
&lt;br/&gt;lost and lonely midst the masses,
&lt;br/&gt;masked to fit expected forms,
&lt;br/&gt;but it's just for a bit while we learn
&lt;br/&gt;new norms, learn to become what 
&lt;br/&gt;we were from the start
&lt;br/&gt;Each a creature alive to the beat
&lt;br/&gt;of our own-reasoned heart
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;IV.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Such ugliness in this beautiful world.
&lt;br/&gt;I blame us.
&lt;br/&gt;(No, not Americans, you anti-blame-America first crowd)
&lt;br/&gt;Homo saps --
&lt;br/&gt;amazingly creatively obscene.
&lt;br/&gt;Mundanely capable of barbaric acts
&lt;br/&gt;I don't want to imagine are we
&lt;br/&gt;It is hard for me to know how to feel.
&lt;br/&gt;Thinking peace, sweetness and light, 
&lt;br/&gt;to attract what I desire
&lt;br/&gt;feels phony.
&lt;br/&gt;Anger feels nonproductive --
&lt;br/&gt;a tightening in my heart shrieking:
&lt;br/&gt;"Let it be done with!"
&lt;br/&gt;Seeking for another world to find
&lt;br/&gt;a fantasy respite, tightly aligned to
&lt;br/&gt;a bright inner sphere, binding to what
&lt;br/&gt;I hold dear, holding on for dear life,
&lt;br/&gt;would certainly simplify my dilemma.
&lt;br/&gt;I wish I could remember when all was
&lt;br/&gt;certain, life assured by Jehovah, or one of 
&lt;br/&gt;His supplicants.  That was before the
&lt;br/&gt;Awakening, when everything
&lt;br/&gt;woke up different, less defined.
&lt;br/&gt;Somewhere in my convoluted mind I know
&lt;br/&gt;is the answer.
&lt;br/&gt;Penultimate questions line up
&lt;br/&gt;for Communion.  Holy guests 
&lt;br/&gt;fly in mage's mass.
&lt;br/&gt;Lightning strikes
&lt;br/&gt;presaging cognition.
&lt;br/&gt;Key's in the ignition.
&lt;br/&gt;Let's go for a ride to some other side.
&lt;br/&gt;If we ever get back, nothing will be
&lt;br/&gt;the same.  Unleashed from the pain,
&lt;br/&gt;designated renegade.  Learning to fly,
&lt;br/&gt;escape from the herd hate stone,
&lt;br/&gt;can't be as hard as learning to stand
&lt;br/&gt;alone.

&lt;br/&gt;to itch that scratch
&lt;br/&gt;masochistic melodies

&lt;br/&gt;para-slicing brain cells left and right

&lt;br/&gt;where is the depth behind this mess?
&lt;br/&gt;fueled
&lt;br/&gt;enraged
&lt;br/&gt;porous as ever
&lt;br/&gt;thoughts as razors
&lt;br/&gt;stab through my eyes
&lt;br/&gt;ripping into your soul
&lt;br/&gt;language constricting
&lt;br/&gt;evil messages embedded
&lt;br/&gt;through the batting of an eyelash
&lt;br/&gt;ancient curses may still become binding
&lt;br/&gt;needing no syllables to confine
&lt;br/&gt;the magic of pain
&lt;br/&gt;the secret of sorrow
&lt;br/&gt;the misuse of misfortune.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To consume this rage
&lt;br/&gt;is a deadly sin&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;With as open a heart as you can bring... ..
&lt;br/&gt;Keys to the soul are non existent..
&lt;br/&gt;For there are no doorways...
&lt;br/&gt;Just an open.. open space...
&lt;br/&gt;Show me your eyes...
&lt;br/&gt;Let me pull the words 
&lt;br/&gt;from your longues 
&lt;br/&gt;through your vocal chords 
&lt;br/&gt;over your tongue 
&lt;br/&gt;into my ear.. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tell me dearest...
&lt;br/&gt;Have I made myself clear..? 
&lt;br/&gt;Have you recognized the light..? 
&lt;br/&gt;Have I not...
&lt;br/&gt;Have I not let you seen..? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A broken dog's dream...
&lt;br/&gt;Pissing in dark alleys...
&lt;br/&gt;Running from the police..
&lt;br/&gt;Sleeping in moldy containers..
&lt;br/&gt;Eating the leftovers of society..
&lt;br/&gt;It makes one hard..
&lt;br/&gt;Cunning and smart..
&lt;br/&gt;Always ready to fight..
&lt;br/&gt;But the dreams keep coming...
&lt;br/&gt;Tonight they dream... 
&lt;br/&gt;How they miss their mothers..
&lt;br/&gt;That first kiss of welcome...
&lt;br/&gt;Is the most important... 
&lt;br/&gt;When you know you have a good soul...
&lt;br/&gt;Crystal clear....
&lt;br/&gt;Without a doubt you bring..
&lt;br/&gt;.. a diamond..
&lt;br/&gt;That shines bright..
&lt;br/&gt;No fear for death..
&lt;br/&gt;No fear for life...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Like a warrior riding a golden wave. 
&lt;br/&gt;Wipping the tigers of light ...  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oh... island of love....
&lt;br/&gt;I'm lost in your forest...
&lt;br/&gt;Snakes are on  my trail.. 
&lt;br/&gt;And I can't stand still...
&lt;br/&gt;Let me find the open fields...
&lt;br/&gt;Let me find the open sea..
&lt;br/&gt;And drown me in her waters... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Blow in me new life through the muses....
&lt;br/&gt;Then I will grow.. like flowers grow....
&lt;br/&gt;And I will die... like flowers die..
&lt;br/&gt;Shriveled up between the grasses..
&lt;br/&gt;They are all saying goodbye...
&lt;br/&gt;Whilst I return to eden...
&lt;br/&gt;And meet that god of mine... 
&lt;br/&gt;A giant chicken probably.. 
&lt;br/&gt;A robot gorilla.. or a plastic godzilla.....
&lt;br/&gt;A giant jellyfish's tv's dinner. 
&lt;br/&gt;Whatever form he will take...
&lt;br/&gt;.. he will know I'm a winner..
&lt;br/&gt;A sinner's winner.. 
&lt;br/&gt;Those little trips back and forth to you..
&lt;br/&gt;The spices the juices and the aromas..
&lt;br/&gt;Oh Lord!! I will cook them!!!! 
&lt;br/&gt;And eat them ... deliciously....!!!
&lt;br/&gt;Lord can you really blame me..? 
&lt;br/&gt;I'm serving in your name....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Don't worry son..  it's all good..
&lt;br/&gt;You know.. I'll always be by your side
&lt;br/&gt;I will never leave you....
&lt;br/&gt;I will always keep on loving you.."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"You can lie to me all you want... 
&lt;br/&gt;I will never believe you...
&lt;br/&gt;I'll never be lied to again.." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"No words to filter the hard truth that is...............
&lt;br/&gt;....................................................................................." 
&lt;br/&gt;Yeah..
&lt;br/&gt;Right there..
&lt;br/&gt;Just like that.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your big black eye shows...
&lt;br/&gt;You don't surrender by will..
&lt;br/&gt;Maybe I'm dying.. maybe I am already dead.
&lt;br/&gt;Damn ...where have I left my body...
&lt;br/&gt;This must be it...  this is the end&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;The visitor believes all the trouble that he sees.
&lt;br/&gt;Naked nature shows it's worse.
&lt;br/&gt;The words are naked and raining..
&lt;br/&gt;They are draining down the gallops
&lt;br/&gt;Waiting for the shallowness.
&lt;br/&gt;No one knows.
&lt;br/&gt;As no illusion remains.
&lt;br/&gt;No sustain for the remotely entertained..
&lt;br/&gt;'What is going on the other side...' they ask..
&lt;br/&gt;Wishing for an escape from memory..
&lt;br/&gt;Which is forgetting in an essence.
&lt;br/&gt;A drop of black ink on a paper sheet. 
&lt;br/&gt;But the sheet is liquid.
&lt;br/&gt;The words are not lighter
&lt;br/&gt;The world just turned darker..
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know..
&lt;br/&gt;But as all can be turned..
&lt;br/&gt;There is no way to earn this..
&lt;br/&gt;A trophy made from air..
&lt;br/&gt;They say it is invisible..
&lt;br/&gt;But it is just not there.,..
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know..
&lt;br/&gt;Could it be a suggestion..
&lt;br/&gt;Can you imagine this..? 
&lt;br/&gt;A self-inflicted injury.. 
&lt;br/&gt;pure phantom pain.
&lt;br/&gt;A shot through the brain...
&lt;br/&gt;with thoughts of the insane. 
&lt;br/&gt;Because my body tells me otherwise..
&lt;br/&gt;It says things like..
&lt;br/&gt;"Pfffft..".."Brrrp..".. and .."Sqsh."
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know..
&lt;br/&gt;Others interpret it as rude..
&lt;br/&gt;But it's just tryin'to love..
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know...
&lt;br/&gt;With the flow we go...
&lt;br/&gt;Down the river of love..
&lt;br/&gt;There are dead bodies floating in it..
&lt;br/&gt;The smell is horrible..
&lt;br/&gt;But it's fun in the boat...
&lt;br/&gt;Look..
&lt;br/&gt;Here comes the waterfaaaalllll....
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know...
&lt;br/&gt;Wether to cry of laughter..
&lt;br/&gt;Or laugh from shock...
&lt;br/&gt;And what that would look like in a mirror...
&lt;br/&gt;As an actor in the Big Brother Love Boat.
&lt;br/&gt;The forgetfull one...
&lt;br/&gt;He forgot to die...
&lt;br/&gt;He did not know..
&lt;br/&gt;And he did not didn't know. 
&lt;br/&gt;He was to busy .
&lt;br/&gt;Masturbating...
&lt;br/&gt;Just like he knew... 
&lt;br/&gt;And everybody watched... 
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know...
&lt;br/&gt;Build a house...
&lt;br/&gt;Past the shore...
&lt;br/&gt;And let the pain..
&lt;br/&gt;Drift away...
&lt;br/&gt;Let it rain..
&lt;br/&gt;And wash it clean...
&lt;br/&gt;A breath of life...
&lt;br/&gt;A heartbeat of wonder...
&lt;br/&gt;A hiss..
&lt;br/&gt;A kiss..
&lt;br/&gt;A wonder... &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Nothing poetic about it.. 
&lt;br/&gt;Drip drop..
&lt;br/&gt;Cling clang 
&lt;br/&gt;Wooooosh...
&lt;br/&gt;Entering the centipede womb, 
&lt;br/&gt;The robot shark swims across the tentacle moon. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The seamonsters
&lt;br/&gt;seem to notice eachother..
&lt;br/&gt;Their extended spines and ribs 
&lt;br/&gt;rub out the dirt of the spirit..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These spirit arthropods..
&lt;br/&gt;They tickle my gut..
&lt;br/&gt;Their fluorescent exoskeletons.
&lt;br/&gt;Are amazing and hypnotizing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The thoughts keep coming..
&lt;br/&gt;They are right there...
&lt;br/&gt;As a bubble I am..
&lt;br/&gt;And me is what again..?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All the people I know and love..
&lt;br/&gt;My friends and family..
&lt;br/&gt;Brothers and sisters..
&lt;br/&gt;fathers and mothers 
&lt;br/&gt;Their spirit lives in me..
&lt;br/&gt;And all I can do is love it..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I love it so much I could cry..
&lt;br/&gt;I love it so much I could die..
&lt;br/&gt;Cry and die I do..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The depth in the dark 
&lt;br/&gt;Tingles the fingers. 
&lt;br/&gt;A little pink light..
&lt;br/&gt;I head out to the city..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One last look into the mirror...
&lt;br/&gt;I looke like a horned lion..
&lt;br/&gt;Maybe I'll get robbed tonight..
&lt;br/&gt;Get in a fight
&lt;br/&gt;Maybe kiss a lady..
&lt;br/&gt;Maybe I'll die tonight...
&lt;br/&gt;Anything could happen..
&lt;br/&gt;Tonight is a good night to die..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I head out and almost get hit by a car..
&lt;br/&gt;The man behind the wheel yells "Asshole!!"
&lt;br/&gt;I yell back "Yes!! I am an asshole!!" 
&lt;br/&gt;The air is strange, 
&lt;br/&gt;thick and agressive somehow..
&lt;br/&gt;People are yelling
&lt;br/&gt;The graffiti on the walls is ugly..
&lt;br/&gt;I take it all in, like a sponge.. 
&lt;br/&gt;I am overcome by this city.. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I recognize no faces...
&lt;br/&gt;No one I know.. 
&lt;br/&gt;Only their spirits..
&lt;br/&gt;And the fleshy shells...
&lt;br/&gt;I walk into a bar.. 
&lt;br/&gt;I think "No way.."
&lt;br/&gt;Why did I come here again..? 
&lt;br/&gt;This burnt out shithole.? 
&lt;br/&gt;Excuse me while I shit on your table...
&lt;br/&gt;Excuse me while I yawn in your face...
&lt;br/&gt;Excuse me while I piss all over the place..
&lt;br/&gt;This big fucking joke.. it's killing me.. 
&lt;br/&gt;I walk back home..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Why don't I give a fuck again...?
&lt;br/&gt;This city is so ugly..
&lt;br/&gt;The people are so plastic..
&lt;br/&gt;deodorised mechanic monsters..
&lt;br/&gt;I pass a group of people..
&lt;br/&gt;And suddenly my stomach turns..
&lt;br/&gt;I feel I'm gonna vomit..
&lt;br/&gt;I feel the blood leaving my head..
&lt;br/&gt;I'm gonna throw up, and I am far from home..
&lt;br/&gt;Suddenly my legs stop working..
&lt;br/&gt;My vision is blurred and feel I'm gonna pass out..
&lt;br/&gt;I need help.. I need help...
&lt;br/&gt;Then I realize this is a lesson I am being taught.
&lt;br/&gt;Sweat breaks from my pores in waves.
&lt;br/&gt;I'm soaking wet in a second.. 
&lt;br/&gt;I don't wanna die like this..
&lt;br/&gt;Like a dead rat in a city dumpster.. 
&lt;br/&gt;I'm trying to fight the feeling but I know I shouldn't. 
&lt;br/&gt;With my last strength I pull myself onto the bench of a busstop..
&lt;br/&gt;The sound of passing cars is hard and ugly..
&lt;br/&gt;LIke slowed down harsh and biting in my ears..
&lt;br/&gt;The lights of the busstop are pulsing, with the sound of my head..
&lt;br/&gt;I am soaking wet with sweat...
&lt;br/&gt;Fuck.. this is the end I think..
&lt;br/&gt;My life passes by.. 
&lt;br/&gt;I say a prayer to mother Mary..
&lt;br/&gt;Mary.. save me..
&lt;br/&gt;Then I give in... I let it come over me like a wave of disease and death..
&lt;br/&gt;I am gone for a while.. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Left my body for a while...
&lt;br/&gt;With my hands in my hair..
&lt;br/&gt;With my but on a seat..
&lt;br/&gt;With my feet on the floor... 
&lt;br/&gt;I wake up feeling weak but sober..
&lt;br/&gt;It must have lasted fifteen minutes.. not longer.. 
&lt;br/&gt;Strange.. I feel great...
&lt;br/&gt;I somehow care again... 
&lt;br/&gt;Feeling very real.. very sober...
&lt;br/&gt;I sit there in the busstop.. 
&lt;br/&gt;Contemplating what the fuck just happened.. 
&lt;br/&gt;How.. not poetic.. how harsh.. yet beautiful..
&lt;br/&gt;I walk up and go home..
&lt;br/&gt;Feeling wet and sober.. a feeling of wholeness..
&lt;br/&gt;Then suddenly it starts raining..
&lt;br/&gt;The rain feels great.. I love it...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I get home and fall into a deep sleep. 
&lt;br/&gt;I dream of the robot shark that swam across the tentacle moon.. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;One cannot be free 
&lt;br/&gt;from the grip of death..
&lt;br/&gt;One can only try to forget.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Years of guilt and pain..
&lt;br/&gt;Crash on to the brain..
&lt;br/&gt;But the price is priceless...
&lt;br/&gt;That's what the struggle of life is.. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Once the dust lies still..
&lt;br/&gt;The rubble is visible...
&lt;br/&gt;Ruins of misfortune..
&lt;br/&gt;Were castles of deceipt...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Shiny on the outside..
&lt;br/&gt;Rotten on the inside..
&lt;br/&gt;The sound from the torturechambers
&lt;br/&gt;Still echo through the moldy halls
&lt;br/&gt;Only to fade..

&lt;br/&gt;Cease to cling..
&lt;br/&gt;To the perfect dream...
&lt;br/&gt;For the dream
&lt;br/&gt;Was never to be real...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The dry heat of the wind..
&lt;br/&gt;Turns the mold to dust..
&lt;br/&gt;The rain will wash it all away..
&lt;br/&gt;And years go by..
&lt;br/&gt;Till the soil is fertile again..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The jungles grow..
&lt;br/&gt;From the dead in the earth..
&lt;br/&gt;Amidst will stand the ruin..
&lt;br/&gt;Of a past memory..
&lt;br/&gt;It is covered in ivy
&lt;br/&gt;Mosses and fungi..
&lt;br/&gt;Animals live..
&lt;br/&gt;.. in what used to be chambers..
&lt;br/&gt;No one knows the meaning.
&lt;br/&gt;Because no one remembers.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;I had to make do
&lt;br/&gt;with what I could get
&lt;br/&gt;No, not like that.
&lt;br/&gt;It always felt like a weight,
&lt;br/&gt;yet useless for keeping me grounded
&lt;br/&gt;It felt like tiny knives,
&lt;br/&gt;cutting, bleeding, surreptitiously
&lt;br/&gt;draining excess energy
&lt;br/&gt;to keep me in line,
&lt;br/&gt;waiting
&lt;br/&gt;for unnamed reward.
&lt;br/&gt;I sleep fitfully
&lt;br/&gt;Dark dreams, I lust for your
&lt;br/&gt;lush evocations,
&lt;br/&gt;secret encodings of sacred quest
&lt;br/&gt;My journeys so circumscribed
&lt;br/&gt;predisposition gates in
&lt;br/&gt;I know there is more,
&lt;br/&gt;cruelly elusive enchantments
&lt;br/&gt;I was never deprived -- always
&lt;br/&gt;provided with just 
&lt;br/&gt;the emptiness
&lt;br/&gt;necessary
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Tourists
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Visiting
&lt;br/&gt;in human suits
&lt;br/&gt;for a chance to wager
&lt;br/&gt;to unspin a tale
&lt;br/&gt;full coloured, full throated
&lt;br/&gt;spurting endocrine residue
&lt;br/&gt;to spray-paint our masterpiece
&lt;br/&gt;as if we could thus mark our
&lt;br/&gt;territory, save our place
&lt;br/&gt;as if any of this
&lt;br/&gt;mattered
&lt;br/&gt;back home&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;lingering  on the would-haves
&lt;br/&gt;could-haves
&lt;br/&gt;will not's
&lt;br/&gt;the ways of yesterday
&lt;br/&gt;breath wasted on kind words
&lt;br/&gt;that will be whisked away
&lt;br/&gt;this mirror must not lie
&lt;br/&gt;for I saw this reflection once before
&lt;br/&gt;sullen, swollen, beaten
&lt;br/&gt;my own reactions
&lt;br/&gt;i abhor
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;another beat continues
&lt;br/&gt;yet one more note to collapse
&lt;br/&gt;between the veins of the timid
&lt;br/&gt;and the muscles of the relaxed
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;how many times must i tell myself
&lt;br/&gt;this story on repeat
&lt;br/&gt;no lesson learned
&lt;br/&gt;no method turned
&lt;br/&gt;to remove the obsolete
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And yes, I'm sure the sun will shine
&lt;br/&gt;and peek beyond the clouds
&lt;br/&gt;but when will the rain pour down
&lt;br/&gt;leave me to soak in this thought
&lt;br/&gt;one more simple request of myself
&lt;br/&gt;that might surely rot
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;limbs stiffened, sweat glistens
&lt;br/&gt;without lifting a single finger
&lt;br/&gt;towards the greater effort
&lt;br/&gt;of living through the weak &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Dressed in animal skins...
&lt;br/&gt;Dancing to historic beats..
&lt;br/&gt;And rustic melodies..

&lt;br/&gt;My eyes and heart are burning...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is this real or am I dreaming...
&lt;br/&gt;Who wrote the story I am in..
&lt;br/&gt;The roof of the temple breaks
&lt;br/&gt;And crashes down on me
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The eyes of angels are glooming...
&lt;br/&gt;From dark caves... 
&lt;br/&gt;From between the breaking clouds...

&lt;br/&gt;And I melt into the floor...
&lt;br/&gt;Into the cold granite...

&lt;br/&gt;I find myself...
&lt;br/&gt;...dancing in the parade..
&lt;br/&gt;The horned children are filled with ecstacy...
&lt;br/&gt;The snake is drunk and free...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;The king goes to his chambers

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There are pictures of dragons in the sea..
&lt;br/&gt;And an X on where the treasure should be..
&lt;br/&gt;The fountain of life....
&lt;br/&gt;Which holds the water that heals...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The king mounts his horse..
&lt;br/&gt;He rides through the land...
&lt;br/&gt;Through jungles and deserts of sand..
&lt;br/&gt;Through villages and cities...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He sees the homeless...
&lt;br/&gt;He sees the beggars...

&lt;br/&gt;He sees the pain...

&lt;br/&gt;He sees the drinking..
&lt;br/&gt;He sees the fighting..
&lt;br/&gt;He sees the cursing
&lt;br/&gt;He sees the crying

&lt;br/&gt;"I see these people hurting... When I reach the fountain I will heal them all.... give me strength on this journey... give me power to change this mess."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When he gets to the fountain
&lt;br/&gt;he fills a vial with the sacred source..
&lt;br/&gt;And back ...confronted with the pain of his land....
&lt;br/&gt;There he opens the vial...
&lt;br/&gt;A shockwave of color...
&lt;br/&gt;And birds of white light fly out...
&lt;br/&gt;They swarm around the people...
&lt;br/&gt;They are overtaken by the bright wings...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All of the people fall to their knees and start crying...
&lt;br/&gt;What beauty... what beauty.....what beauty....
&lt;br/&gt;Then the birds fly away ..
&lt;br/&gt; ... and take all the sorrow with them..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Newfound joy was in the air..
&lt;br/&gt;People were dancing everywhere..
&lt;br/&gt;They partied all night long
&lt;br/&gt;Singing their new song
&lt;br/&gt;Till the breaking by the light...
&lt;br/&gt;A lot of babies were conceived that night
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And the king stands on his balcony again...
&lt;br/&gt;Thinking...
&lt;br/&gt;Smiling...
&lt;br/&gt;Watching over his land...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Don't say a thing..
&lt;br/&gt;I read your mind before you can even begin..
&lt;br/&gt;Until we kiss 
&lt;br/&gt;Keep your lips together.. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You are hungry for a touch
&lt;br/&gt;I can caress you in a strangle..
&lt;br/&gt;I can fill emptiness.
&lt;br/&gt;Any option down my body..
&lt;br/&gt;As I travel through time..
&lt;br/&gt;I know what can be done..
&lt;br/&gt;What could have been..
&lt;br/&gt;And we can go back into it..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;An escape I see in your eyes..
&lt;br/&gt;A broken heart and a broken dream..
&lt;br/&gt;Where as... as if... you think.. I see...
&lt;br/&gt;I sense with the spirit dearest..
&lt;br/&gt;I won't smile about it..
&lt;br/&gt;Think about it..
&lt;br/&gt;I am a snake after all...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A twinkle in your sceptic eye..
&lt;br/&gt;I'll bite it.. swallow your sense of self..
&lt;br/&gt;Release your pain and I'll digest it..
&lt;br/&gt;Feel...My inner walls are acid...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Between my stones..
&lt;br/&gt;lies the nothing...
&lt;br/&gt;And in the nothing 
&lt;br/&gt;lies eternal rest..
&lt;br/&gt;But I know rest is not what you seek..
&lt;br/&gt;Only a short stay.. for a while...
&lt;br/&gt;To see what you might find..
&lt;br/&gt;Between the skin and bones..
&lt;br/&gt;Between the nerves and veins..
&lt;br/&gt;Outside the heart...
&lt;br/&gt;Outside the brain....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A friend you want to be...
&lt;br/&gt;Come back anytime you wish...
&lt;br/&gt;I see the power in your struggle..
&lt;br/&gt;The pain you can handle...
&lt;br/&gt;I give you breath of life..
&lt;br/&gt;Use it wise..
&lt;br/&gt;See you next time..
&lt;br/&gt;In my eyes...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Simple mental excercise to leave your body and release your eternal self into the greater reality - greatly enhanced by plant teachers and/or meditation and controled deep breathing - sometimes a white noise machine helps if one wants to go the simple, direct route to quieting the mind and concentrating 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;picture a triangle in your mind
&lt;br/&gt;now picture another triangle set slightly in front of the first
&lt;br/&gt;slowly spin the first triangle watching how at times you see
&lt;br/&gt;a five pointed star
&lt;br/&gt;and when perfectly aligned
&lt;br/&gt;you see only one triangle 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now the two triangles are composed of pure, white light
&lt;br/&gt;the two triangles begin to spin in counter directions but you see 
&lt;br/&gt;the triangle in front composed of pure white light spinning left
&lt;br/&gt;then the triangle of light behind spins to the right 
&lt;br/&gt;watching both of them
&lt;br/&gt;spinning faster and faster in opposite directions 
&lt;br/&gt;faster and faster 
&lt;br/&gt;they become now pure, blinding white light spinning 
&lt;br/&gt;faster and faster, fantastically fast 
&lt;br/&gt;until separate triangles of light merge 
&lt;br/&gt;into a searing white nexus of light 
&lt;br/&gt;humming with energy and spinning furiously now

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Stuck in the gut of the monster...
&lt;br/&gt;Lustfull vengeance uncovered..
&lt;br/&gt;As I creep through the bowels of night..
&lt;br/&gt;Avoiding the blindness of light..
&lt;br/&gt;Attracted by tempting sensation..
&lt;br/&gt;I crawl for redemption..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A moist mist covers the pores
&lt;br/&gt;The worms that I inhale..
&lt;br/&gt;Make my skin turn to scales...
&lt;br/&gt;An itch all over that just won't stop..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My body is rotting and I am long dead..
&lt;br/&gt;As my body melts over the wall.
&lt;br/&gt;A vague memory replaces my being..
&lt;br/&gt;What have I become..
&lt;br/&gt;Do you still love me..?
&lt;br/&gt;Do you love me now..?
&lt;br/&gt;Do you love me now..?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And death repeats itsself
&lt;br/&gt;In that last breath of being..
&lt;br/&gt;A creature that has roamed ..
&lt;br/&gt;A being that has loved and hurt so many..
&lt;br/&gt;My imminent death
&lt;br/&gt;Whispers in my ear..
&lt;br/&gt;Release yourself..
&lt;br/&gt;Release yourself
&lt;br/&gt;Release yourself..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A feeling fed by flames..
&lt;br/&gt;Takes over my decaying heart..
&lt;br/&gt;I rip the shrouds from my eyes..
&lt;br/&gt;I pop the cocoon in which I reside..
&lt;br/&gt;I stretch my wings and fly..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lucky bastard..
&lt;br/&gt;Fed by flames..
&lt;br/&gt;Death doesn't tame this kid..
&lt;br/&gt;Forces of fire.. fill the lungs..
&lt;br/&gt;Roar the screams of the thousand boars...
&lt;br/&gt;Howl the cries of the thousand wolves..
&lt;br/&gt;Rip the flesh of the rotting corps.. 
&lt;br/&gt;And jump into the fire...
&lt;br/&gt;Jump into the fire!!
&lt;br/&gt;Jump into the fire..!!.....&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Where the feeding of the soul begins
&lt;br/&gt;An open field of green in spring..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Under breaking clouds...
&lt;br/&gt;Playing the flute under the old olivetree...
&lt;br/&gt;My horned friend...
&lt;br/&gt;My slithering fiend...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Who death pursuits...
&lt;br/&gt;The cubes and spheres 
&lt;br/&gt;Disappear in broad daylight...
&lt;br/&gt;Shimmers of neglect...
&lt;br/&gt;Shivers of respect...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tranquil seas 
&lt;br/&gt;Morning breeze
&lt;br/&gt;Islands of serene delight...
&lt;br/&gt;Where waves hit the shore
&lt;br/&gt;In a pulsing rythm..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As prayed to the stars..
&lt;br/&gt;As received from the gods...
&lt;br/&gt;The demons run amok 
&lt;br/&gt;In persistence...
&lt;br/&gt;Listening to glistening fragments...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The shadowplay against the sheet..
&lt;br/&gt;.. held up by the puppetmaster..
&lt;br/&gt;...tells stories of heroes in ancient times.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The puppeteer.
&lt;br/&gt;The musketeer
&lt;br/&gt;The grey wise seer...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As the land slides on..
&lt;br/&gt;As the boils of soil erupt
&lt;br/&gt;In flaming orgasms...
&lt;br/&gt;Questionmarks dissapear..
&lt;br/&gt;Dissolved by the lions in the fire..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The are's and be's and what become's of us...
&lt;br/&gt;Encrypted on the inside of the marbled skull..
&lt;br/&gt;Melt under the pressure of the glacier..
&lt;br/&gt;The crack that sounds tells all the stories..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Agh... humanoids....
&lt;br/&gt;Agh... androids...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Still...
&lt;br/&gt;Silent...
&lt;br/&gt;Forever... &lt;/div&gt;
