ZOROASTER
*
Few Western pastors
know the beauty of
Ahura Mazda's master
fireworshipping Zoroaster
whose heartflames are
more perfect
than the petals of asters

LISTENING SEA

*

As she hears
the confessions
of all rivers
those on the shore
hear the sea..
accepting all
she calls no thing
heresy.

She listens and does
not tell
She listens without judging
She listens with total love
and acceptance..
and total presence.

NOT VIOLENT ULTRAVIOLET
*
Violent can be sound and light
in waking us from sleep of night.
Gently comes the dawn's twilight
Each step taken oh so slight.

CROCUS CAUCUS

Victory
One by one
in many countries
they break through
the ice of fear..

cups of crocuses
.. stand up in caucuses
.. East to West
from Africa to the Caucusus

and state
their eternal
allegiance
to the Creator Sun.

ANIMAL MADE BY HUMAN COMMITTEE

Alec Issignois said a camel was a horse
made by a committee.. but a camel is an animal created by
God to adapt to deserts made by treekilling human beings

The animal made by human commitee

had pickled pigs' feet .. the pigs now had no feet ..
frog's legs ...the frogs now had no legs
chicken's thighs... the chickens now had no thighs
lamb's ribs .. the lamb now had no ribs
turkey's breasts.. the turkey's chest was carved
sheep's eyes which watched the devourers
calf brains which contained Mad Cow

and God sent angels
to wipe all violence from the earth
from this day forth
