HOUND NO LONGER HAUNTED
The hound was haunted
by the hind he had hunted.
Over the months God
to him hinted
that he should no longer
hunt any harts
nor hunt any hinds..
Now he, the hound, no
longer hunts
and so by hinds is
no longer
haunted.
DESTINY'S MOTHER
Destiny's sire
is desire.
Destiny's mother
is heartfire.

TEACHER STARS
Clouds of emotion
have blown away
One sees and hears
the teacher stars
FOR CALVES ALONE
Cows' milk God
made for calves
The udders
of the mudders
for their babes alone
and the little calf
considers it an elixir
when he receives
mother's love
as he licks her
ANATIFEROUS
Oh anatiferous
mother duck
her presence
is ever
to her babies good luck
BEAR RIGHTS
The 19th Century
Maine man.. was trophy seeking
and blasted away at the brown bear
.. who had eaten so many blueberries
his stolen flesh tasted like bluebearies
And in his next life the Maine man
was a brown bear hiding
from the rifletoting stalkers
Now he has once again
achieved the privilege of
human birth..
and works to protect bears
and their bushes of blueberry
HINDUS AND MUSLIMS
Hindus eat no cow.
Muslims eat no pig.
Cows wish Muslims to
become Hindu.
Pigs wish Hindus to
become Muslims.
Those who eat no animals..
are obedient to the
dharma of many paths.
