anxiety dream
Another anxiety dream
I can't teach my class
Meditation hall
Lovely wood and glass

Please, Life, protect my son
Grant him stable peace
A friend in South Korea
A table at the feast

lifelong low level depression
                    sleep

Our immortality
Our immortality is for others
Not our clinging selves
When we die we become mothers
May we give birth to speaking shelves
Of books we've never written
Tales we never told
Young again in the young
As our former selves grow old
Presently I am a father
And I love my three young sons
But I muse on my maternity
And greet thee - my darling ones!

In Seattle misty rain
In Dublin meant to be

My son wears a Batman shirt

A little true protection
A little mystic flight

Miss you in the afternoon

Can't get you out
Of my miserable brain

Unlikely
World peace is unlikely
Still I look ahead

The sun rises in the East
Everybody gathers
For the mystic feast

Springsteen in Louisville
Yoko yo yo yo yo!
