Pillar of Strength

appearing on the crest
of the sky and sand line

mysterious whirl
contrasting against white noise
radiant and still, yet rippling
like voice on deep blue crystal water

as a vision, alien, ancient, strange
yet also a silent source of: radio breath
wafting of sea breeze

fluttering like a sea gull
in and out of hearing range
that weird music: so familiar
yet unworldly, other, muffled
then snatches of distortion
cries from deserted scenes
drift into static then
gaudy chincy belly dance calls
boistrious, lalalalalla!!!
mixed in with flaming scarves
gypsy style, shakti flare
high priestess unashamed
purple veiled, then more tinny

sounds sample through the thin air
roller coaster screams vie and die
as wisps of cheap hokey pokey organ
trill, and a blast from the past:
fruity little egypt tinkling toots
as strains of heart break hotel
suddenly blert thought the
diaphanous transparency

the silent form gives no sign
Poetry II
alone with it all

...there is no point
where i am not...

and no point where
i begin and end

i never began as such
only at the lone presence
presencing all direction

no start, all end
where it finally is
without

so if it is free
within, so until
totality focused

I shall, shall I
eye..........eye
......none......
see..........see

no thing word
comes from there
there it goes

we arrive, we take leave
we drift through thought
we divert, we invert, we
hear the water falling in
constructs from natures
path, we arrive

masks are made of paper
thin as the universe
these behold partitions
between things in themselves
all is artifical, all is real

all is contemplation in folds
narrow variations beyond great
and lesser; cycles within
arrangements, as in vessels
or vase holding a single orchid
or perhaps a feng shui placement
of a profussion of energy blossems

this mysterious force of night openings
veils part behind whispers fingering
air
Cities of Towers

It's the doom of cities
it's the fallen headlines
of smoking guns

it's the closing shade of shame
the end game played for all known stakes
it's the emptiness of fame
where the absolute corrupt crime
begins to float through time

its the view from the top of the thousand
points of light, on the illuminated hill

it's the simulated bread and circuses
the road to Rome that always leads back
through the arch of history herself
it's the temple of Isis
hidden by the smokey veil

the dumb abject lies we know so well
and the cheap wine of miracles
that the dumbfounded crowd
will celebrate in the news

it's the empty arena, where time stands still
and remembers the blood spilled like cherry pie
in some kind of biblical proportioned baloney
it's the grim figure of a Nero
standing on his brocaded balcony
fiddling the flames
as the asparagus towers blaze
and dangerously aglow
the unknown wraps itself
in eternal heavens
of our unrevealing

the crucified image
looped over and over
rivers of blood shooting past
scarce words become the story
slowly opening its two pieces
