Hot and humid as I manned the mat,
streached and strung – out like a band,
wrecked with the wet of overwhelmed glands and that
constant voice of command, droning, intoning a vicious chant of
“Lock the knees, Lock the knees, Lock the knees”
Oh, please, the window’s there, the breeze!
If you understand then you have borne it, foot in [...]

Apple Me, Papple Me, Tapple Me, too
decided to buy the iPad too.
“Hooray!”
“What fun!”
“It’s time we do!”
Cried Apple Me, Papple Me, Tapple Me, too.

Apple had iphone, Papple had two,
and Tapple Me’s ibook put them in cue
as apps
and apps
and apps accrue
for Apple Me, Papple Me, Tapple Me, too.

Apple Me, Papple Me, Tapple Me, too
Got their ipads just [...]

In the age before St. Patrick
Echu Ollathir to us bespeaks through sadness of his love:
“The death spirit of the boar enters the body.  It is the messenger of light.  The animal is within us.  The animal is the land.  The land is the life within us –nourishing and whole.”

to locate
your soul’s refraction
of seamless
satisfaction

Up lifting down…
frigid waters await
with Carmina Burana
occupying ears.
Up lifting down…
with spinning mind
racing for decisions
as easy as the wind.
Up lifting down…
the gift of flight
is short lived
and falls fleeting.

I daydream oft of my redemptive blood
splayed about the room
about me
and my twisted
heart eases.

I imagine my fall
into the path
of the sped
subway yet stay
my footing
lest my desire
should unbalance
my will

When my demons come for me
I won’t go with them willfully.

When my demons come for me
They chase my shade eternally
to holler and bellow
“Submit and follow.”

When my demons find my shadow
all weak, my gut hollow
they plant their ugly seed
’till I kneel and plead.

When my demons call for me,
they steal away my pride,
they tease, prod, chide,
’till someday [...]

My little moon
Dance
Moon bright
Pure night
Snow quiet
Deep
Miles of air
Frozen
To frame this night
