1. cover the width of a personal compostela the yellow-and-black bird flitting branch to branch endless
square patterns of light half-cut into shades of green and slant oblique
2. making headway now companions on the path passing by auburn creature with lolling tongue looks with such kind eyes glittering diamonds sun sits on tip of wet nose he seems to be saying something... some evanescent message
thoughts are ventilated tones of silence seep in wild flowers in amaranthine bloom sway in nature's perpetual dance always moving
3. what happens to arboreal ghosts when we prove efficiency by cutting the arms of living trees and with it extended family of foliage?
monk passes slow nods in quiet greeting a bare half-smile enough to reach yet just truncated enough
maybe to prune is needed /
4. how many more steps to tread before *the why becomes clear?
trod so far sought so wide read so much travelled so intense
this journey alone proves so arduous
5. alone...
struggled with hidden pain he discovered beneath the layers of happiness.... suffered hunger and thirst along the way.... washed in ***** rivers with no soap.... had to clean his **** with dusty leaves in the eve.... and remembering to eat what to eat...but berries in the dark
and he cried, oh how he cried from a place no man should see such a dark place demented and wicked souls at the doorstep of hell would shrink at
but first in order to do all that he had to wrestle with himself and die inside he could no longer fail to consent
no wistful little prayers or wide-eyed flower-eyes
nor awe born in luxury
yet for all that...
6. in a little while you will get what you want if you give enough people what they want
pray in secret in the sun
the boy with the Jesus sandals walks on
his journey has begun....

one can find one's compostela...in yer own backyard :)
enjoying a rare ginger-tea with (deliciously sweet-soured) singed tomato on buttered toast...and listening to this fine song! >>
sub-entry: 'Dearly beloved' - - Fred Astaire
Songwriters: KERN, JEROME / MERCER, JOHN H.
Tell me that it's true, Tell me you agree, I was meant for you, You were meant for me.
Refrain
Dearly beloved, how clearly I see, Somewhere in Heaven you were fashioned for me, Angel eyes knew you, Angel voices led me to you;
Nothing could save me, Fate gave me a sign; I know that I'll be yours come shower or shine; So I say merely, Dearly beloved ~ be mine.
