Cedar and leather in the air
Rosemary in the window box
Many-fingered Lavender
Creeping round the foundation of the barn
Swallows thrumming away, bedding down
All together unfolded
Unpacked
Gently applied
Like a balm prescribed
By the traveling apothecary
Of an old man's memory

Good Lofn's favored fools
Hearts too big for trifling times
Devotions hid in hollow trees
Truth whispered to the wind
Oaths once carved in sylvan guard
Stand ever on their feet
For there are things that do not die
A lover's soul, fair company
Forever She abides

Love's a glowing ember
Cupped in shaking hands
So split and blister and burn for the light
The way it burns for you
Feed with your body
This fragile destroyer
This infant child of the soul
Weep steam, wail if you must
But all around
The Hungry Darkness waits
So you can never let it go

Terminal is a word alright
Damn off-putting
Leaking from a robot in a lab coat
With no stethoscope and no humor
Like for trains? We humans call that a joke
Where better to rendezvous with a psychopomp than Grand Central
Under Pegasus and Friends
A map to the stars
Is that where I'll go

Wading downstream from half a life led loose
All its wreckage bobbing by in the mind
Whimsical-like in the dappled light of memory
A bored and distant inner sun
Keeps checking his watch
It's almost quitting time

I don't need roses I need the details That only true depth of soul can see The way that you see and think of me The fine lines of the scenes you paint The rhythm of my breath as I fade The pitch of the songs you ll orchestrate And the color of the flowers in the garden

I don't know how many
Lives I've lived before,
But I think this must be
My last go-round
I can't imagine there are
Many more things that a soul
Needs taught than I will
Have learned by the end
Of this most recent trial
Or maybe this whole life
Amounts to just one
Enormously broad lesson
On what?
Loss and injustice?

She led me to the back
In that place of believing
In the shadow of some misfit's crypt
Where tidy superstition gave way to the woods
Where the wild raspberries grew
There she stained her lips the color of life
And my love
She gave it all back to me

The little white trailer
At the end of the lane
Is hiding a secret.
Inside two souls are mending
Gentle hands stitching, setting
Kind words coax a budding life
From the litter and ash of the past
Into a new world of their very own building
Where always there are purple flowers

North Korean soldiers ordered to harvest grass for compost in spare time
The grass is used to produce natural fertilizer in a country short of chemicals.
All dictatorships run by dumbasses follow the same trajectory. Do you think the Marines will have to wear their uniforms when they're sent to pick almonds and harvest tomatoes, yes or no?

At the same time food is rotting in our fields for lack of labor, we are knee capping ourselves by placing huge tariffs on what we import.
This is going to be very, very bad.

Your ardent touch somehow
reaches into my world
Drawing me across
The span that separates
I can feel you
Everywhere
My body hums
with the resonance of
our energies mingling

It's also worth mentioning that taxing cigarettes is an incredibly regressive form of tax that targets the poor and addicted. Nobody wants to hear it, because cigarettes bad, yadda yadda, but it's true.

I'll never forget reading Peter Thiel extol Elon's genius at poker, because he went all in every hand.
When asked what he did when he busted..well he just bought more chips.
This is the level of incompetence of the so-called geniuses who think they should run society. They're deeply stupid.

On the left of a collage is a dusk-time photo taken from out window of a car from the driver's seat of a car in motion.
On the right, is a poem:
Daydreams of future things
Looking straight ahead
But I only see inside
Rush of love-drenaline
Like a cool shot through my veins
Pupils dilate wide
So wide, my soul is visible
Such simple visions
Just us, side-by-side
But they have me so high
I can see your house from here
Maybe I shouldn't be driving
