As his external dreams lay shattered
like ostrich eggs sold
by a "health" store manager..
he inquired within..
to the Dweller in his
heart lair..
and saw a bigger
third eye..
a third eye
with new areas of blue.
And then he realized
his dreams were being protected
as a new vessel for them
was forming.

Afghanistan, the African
aids victims of World

vaccine, to battered women
and battered men,
to lonely residents
of nursing homes,
to all animals waiting
for tomorrow's slaughterhouse
line, to all deer quaking
in hunters' sites..
to all those waiting
for a phone call..
to all those suffering
in this material world
