LIGHT ARROW SLIVERS
When the Spirit Wind shivers
the great flowing river
.. light arrow slivers
from the sun's endless quiver
.. are
revealed
and then reveiled
and revealed
as the saint's
powers.. come from God
666
In 6th month is the most light
6th day is sweet Friday
6 tips has David's Star
Shanmukanatha means
6 faced son of Ishwar
3 couples is 6 eyes
In evening's 6th hour
they go
to their hearths of home
6 is 9 upside down
6 the phone code of Rome
Godly folk live on 6th st.
Whether you'd rather go
toward or away
from DC
Rt 66 will take you there
Hexagons make better tiles
than triangles or squares
6th chakras are third eyes
6 points for a touchdown
6th hour is sunrise
6 is a holy number
like all those God has formed
And it is often the month
when kind cancers.. are born

DIAMONDS MADE BY DUCKS
In the glass surfaced pond
the water trails
made by their paddling
feet beneath ducks' bright tails
churn up diamonds
so bright with the rising sun
Angels of God protect them
all from blinds in which
wait crouching guns
WE BOW TO GOD WITHIN YOU
a peace so deep each can let go
A detaching which helps.. all to flow
a magnet so intense to it all align
a light so bright that all see its shine
a vacuum of such power.. it draws everyone
a silence so profound within it GOD resounds
a Himalayan pure so high that all see its peak
a love so great every heart does it seek
LIGHT
There is an unquenchable blazing
eternal omnipotent light
in every Vietnamese Nigerian
Palestinian and Israelite
WORKAHOLIC BLACK WIDOW
The Black Widow
does more spinning
than any called
spinsters.
Yet she too will be Goddrawn
as Isaiah has said.
BIRD COMMUNION
When the priest came to
give my loved one
communion, I wondered
if I could have the
courage of Joan
and distribute communion
to the dogs and cats..
I looked out the window
and there God had
provided bread crumbs
for the birds, as they
too received Her manna
communion.
(to the founder of Animal
Rights Ministries)
METROPOLITAN SYMPHONY
The fast food executive
on the board of the metropolitan
symphony turns staccato
slaughterhouse shrieks
into gold and then
into music.
The dairy executive
turns mother cow screams
into gelatinous dioxinfilled
ice cream.
Though it has more smoke
the pig lard candle's
light is qualitatively
the same as that of
pectin candles..
both can a dark room
ignite.
Yet does God ask us
to buy the purest, the
gentlest, the best,
the simplest.
COMPASS ENCOMPASSED
The needle by compassion
magnetized
out of the haystack..
of confusion is
placed on a leaf
of detachment
.. floats and slowly
turns
.. pointing North
so love-encompassed
is the compass..
all directions
point North
(to David Mamet, screenwriter
for The Edge)
UNRIPENESS IS PERFECTION
The fruit sour today
will be sweet in September.
The popcorn which
did popoff not
will burst in splendor
over new embers.
The snow which walls
us in
will nurse new flowers
ere another December.
CIRCUMSCRIBED RAINDROPS
The creek quietly
and visibly
circumscribes
each place
where a raindrop
fell
as angels who
make mistakes
in falling
cause earth to rise
LAURA
No dark fedora
could hide the aura
of incandescent Laura
It flows and merges
with rising Aurora
ALL ARE BAPTIZED BY SPIRIT
The waters of the fountain of the
baptism of love are inside all
The flames of the hearth
of baptism by fire are inside all.
Who besides a snake can swim in the grass?
*
Sooner or later even Satan's minions are beyond duality
opinions lifted by Love's universal pinions.
*
A playing boy's discarded stick became the father heron's
beakborn gift... for their nest a new twig ...
the rejected stumbling block.. to the temple's
cornerstone he lifts
*
Said the mother fly to the gay teen... long before they called
you a queer, a faggot... they called my children little maggots
*
Call no demon names. Focus on his divine core. See the gold
within his ore.
ALL ARE BAPTIZED
