remote control lives
just skipping all life's moments
what were we watching

hard knocker
ocean floor bully
mantis shrimp

The flower bursts forth
Displaying gold lined petals
Aromas invite

silence
amidst clatter
a gift

belugas stopped by
bobbing down Turnagain Arm
marsh mellows swimming

raging whiteout winds
chaotic drapes blinding, viewing
mother Denali's
sharpened crystalline edges
framed by sprawling blue heavens

frigid mountain stream
sparkling conversation
pool cooled PBRs

Honeysuckle sprinkles
White dots in a deep nights sky
As above so below

My muse has learned to change her frights
not in a material shift
                  but in her dreams
inside
I think it amazing
                                she shrugs it off
no big deal


but if she can change a dream?



                                                   could she change her mind?

yikes venezuela
double yikes for red china
lost their human's rights

corrupt governments
pillaging their own people
with just signs to fight

they let it happen
trusting in greedy humans
no one else to blame

lessons never learned
our founding fathers teachings
history repeats

Going further now
Snow thawed, moose bones, not white, raw
Fresh feasting for some

I am man
in all my disfigured beauty
the good, the bad, the ugly, for all laid bare

highest prices paid
fully acknowledged defeat
out from the ashes
shaking off past ***** soot
rising, collecting just dues

hurtin' for certain
sweating out lasts nights mezcal
mexicali blues

so much fun
frying bacon naked
pop then hop

she fell from the stars
their remnants like pixie dust
circle above her

taking shortcuts home
forgetting long day troubles
your smile driving hard
mindless ideas of me, you
letting your hair down tonight

uncle sams funning
his humor often lingered
pulling  his finger

Another old night
blood red, chasing arrows in
reflections, wasting
away in Peruvian
dreams of when the night was young

Hasn't worn them in years
Since she lived here, my all star
Her low cut Chuck Taylors

my little sweet child
when did that monster steal your smile
I was too dumb to really even notice
But today, I thought I saw a glimpse
creep back across your beautiful face

Young hunger yearning
New growth burns it's winter suit
With a bang, I awake

time stopped
memory frozen
reflection

waking at night
only my dreams wander
how cold it is!

winter melt
meanders along
swelling spring

majestic mountain
standing defiantly tall
as worlds slowly fall

high voltage tempest
below, they buzz, bracing, tense, alive
the current pulses thru

still water pools
abandoned by fleeing tides
patiently wait

Listening for night
Feeling for light, the dawn sun
Seems so far away
From this cold and lonely place
My deaf, blind heart led me to

Wondering if they are the same
The feelings, long felt, long overdue
Waiting at the terminal for you

You ever heard, dark to light or
I was blind and now I see

It used to perplex me and to
wonder what could this mean

Did it mean like the rising sun
hitting places it had not before been

Was it a surgery or some godly miracle
that made the blind man preen

Or was it something deeper
something felt but something unseen

I think I see the meaning now
I had to write it down and then read

Before the leaves come
Winds chime on hollow dead limbs
winter leaves as summer yawns

wild hearted summer
sun, blazing down, waving heat
skinny dipping time

At the heart of coal's soul
lay the diamonds colored rainbow
arching to fill other's empty hole.
