Please find attached the wings of change.
Holy water rolling off of oily feathers.
Encircled but not entrenched.
Embattled but not beaten.
Signed, without fear.
The tired failings
Of miniature
Old men
Faded.
🕊️

Rattlesnake in ancient skin.
Stone becomes a trillion grains.
Both command their forms to differ.
Changed by sun and soaking rains.

Thanks for reposting!

I don’t want to look younger
I want to feel peace.
I want to wake up not dreading the news.
Not finding out those I admire have let me down.
I want rest from surviving
by the skin of my teeth.
To grow old happy
with rain on the brim of my hat.
Feet dry,
and heart open.

The lasts become the same.
Attraction stays aflame.
Compassion turns
As passion burns
Within your lovely name.

If if the party sucks it’s still worth hanging out for the food and the music. Stay friend. Better days will come.

Tectonic symphony
Pressure and time
Forms the inclusions
In diamonds we mine.
Sold to the bidder then
Judged by the loop
Still has to be better
Than erroneous dupes.

Happy Monday everyone! Take a deep breath and carry on! #bluesky #urbanart #graffiti #sidewalk #nyc

Fantastic!

Cut through the forest
An axe ahead
To make it through the fog.
But to be warm,
To build the fire,
You have to split the log.

Perfection.

It’s time to be more French.
Not like in a film,
Smoking, black and white
Flickering figures
Discussing art in a frame.
No
It’s time to be French in spirit
Modern pitchforks raised.
It’s time to burn false alters, to
Upend their egos praised.

“That TV will rot your brain!”
They used to threaten this.
Toes curled inside velvet slippers
Or fingers tucked behind a lapel.
But what has decayed is long since lost
And all that remains is Americas shell.

Open the menu
Down at the Red Flame Diner.
Have yourself a treat.

Freedom is not passive.
It is not a father
Carrying you quietly
Down the hall on his
Shoulders at bedtime.
It is a sister holding a lantern.
Turning the faces of
Men too small
To stand up to cowards,
To finally face the sun.

So they can boo Hillary, Obama, and Pence but not a literal Nazi salute? That’s the most un-American thing I think I’ve ever seen.

A novel way to start a day
Is somewhere
Offstage.
Entering only
On cues we know.
Rallied
Under lights
Directing the arrows thrown
To the center
Where dizzy actors
Play the day away.

Pulling rope
From one side
To the next
Keeps us all bound to the ranch.
Building what we think will prove us
To the end of which,
We all know is coming.

Mosaic from the NYC subway depicting two people celebrating the New Year.

Tidally locked:
The end
The before
The after.

Transient clock.
Then turning
Then kissing
Then laughter.

The man at the top of the hill keeps feasting,
Denying steak to those beneath him.
But we know the neighborhood.
And in a world of plenty
The crossroads belong
To us all.

High-fiving the exit sign
A tour of sorts begins.
Bikes on dirt paths to the river.
Catching salamanders.
Pocket change candy and
Church parking lot foot races.
At dusk, streetlights blink on
As they each rush home for dinner
In a Polaroid blue haze.

A wild night.
A party.
Crossing the equator
Between uptown and down.
We become endlessly near.
Dancing in limelight.
Reversing a curse
Using body and sound.

Remember. 90% of “Christmas spirit,” for adults comes from the planning and preparations. The other 10% comes from bourbon, coffee and fudge-born blood sugar spikes. #lastminutechristmasshopping #nyc
