I'm throwing you down a dark alley in my mind
deep down where taboos share their secrets
There is no forgetting as you slither into my ego
With each sunrise you wake my soul
on cold nights you warm my core.
The unbearable part of living this half life
acceptance of this life ******* hardship
Deep down I send you
You wonderful torture
you succubus

In the halls of nature the leaves rain down to meet me
Shy flowers open to bathe amongst the eager dapples of light
Earthy archetypal fragrances manifest as home

And I, moist like  the damp soil of the Understory
cater to notions of running my gnarly roots into the ground
to penetrate

I give into the lust of sticky stigma
inhaling explosions of pollen
initiating my fertilization

The magic of the forest
requires that you enter it
get lost in it

Get lost
to get found

The ache is permeating my body
The nights dreams spill out
Bleeding thoughts of you
A glacial healing with permafrost memories
I can’t imagine being without you

We can take a warm shower together if things get too sticky
wash away that which does not serve us
We can borrow someones car and never bring it back
and drive away from stagnation in our lives
We can talk to ourselves in public
ignoring the rules that say we should not
We can love whoever and however we want
It's our birth right
We can hold life and observe it
to understand who we are
In its midst
We can be kind
Imagine

Bulldoze through still skies
Dreaming human
Hoping on the ground
as if they are walking
Staring you down
Pecking at houses
Digging for causes
Building Building
and darting like bullets
through the impartial skies

Photographs of you bring my body to attention
start to feel within me the tension
want your body and impression
in my direction
begin my resurrection
my intention
You
for me
straight out of a dream
Perfection.

Sunlight dances on the tile floor
The fierce Mexican wind roars
through my ancestral gift of long thick hair.
My soles touch the earth and glide me around my path
Nature gifts me with tiny leaves in my soup
A condiment for my soul
The women, the food and the love
they nourish me.
I see eyes shimmering like stars in the sky
The horns blare a victorious marching song
as the band marches down the cobbled road
Under the pines of this fine town
I feel the love, warmth, nourishment and steadfastness
of a people.
