29,30,31,32

29.
 i finally find
the lock and key
you steal my handlebars from me
 without them i clearly cannot steer
i chase you and you run in fear
the house by the highway has holes in the deck
your broken legs are affixed to stilts
you accost the passers
for their cash
with these barking dogs
this dream cannot last

30.

heavy beats

thunk whappa-whappa
sticks strike buckets
as heat beats the street
clunk, wham, slam,
he coulda been a big star,
but here we are
sticks slappin'
feet tappin'
lean strong
limbs dance
as he raps and chants
put your money in the bucket!
his catchy refrain
how many dollars
will he catch today?
enough for a meal or
a place to stay?
play on brother, play.

natarajasana


each breath a note
in the whistling flute
of my throat

each word a chord
so hum
each fierce step 
i wield my sword

moments decisions
turn and spin
reaching out
or looking within

my soul inhabits
this fleshly sack
writing its song
with my swaying back

creating the shape 
of each moment
and phrase
as hours become days

we come here 
given this one chance
i feel the music,
lets dance!


32.

yesterday's synecdoche


writing poetry in my dreams
beautiful handmade
raiment
rainbow healing altars,
scattered crystals
broken stones
too many witches 
in this kitchen
we need to restore order
before she returns
an homage to 
an artist and poet from the past
not forgotten
your face lives on in his
mingled with her beauty
he who hath an ear

let him hear.
