* Poems To Purity Of Undriven Snow And Flames
Folder:
Snow Pure BERRY BRIARS
Plucking berries
out of briars
Barry did bury
the lapse with Breyer's
(http://www.notmilk.com)
**
SEMAPHORE CLOUD
Tiny clouds
the sun reveil
and flowing on
do Him reveal
MASSED THUNDER
In the mountains...God has
massed his thunder
Your faith can break
the power asunder
NEVER ASK
Never ask a woman
if you can kiss her.
Without confidence
you have no right
IMMACULATE
Don't have a bathroom
so immaculate
a mechanic hesitates
to use it
GURU HEART
He did not need to
reduce his frequency
to give
the hundredth lambs
a handle by which
to grab his comet tail
.. he was all frequencies
MAGGOTY MEAT
Maggoty meat
they say..
as if a rotting
cadaver did
not automatically
generate the
garbage men and
women of God: worms..
as if ecoli ridden
(euphemism for colon bacteria)
meat was more
pure without
visible life
SHELLFISH
Never are shellfish
mean or selfish
Do you think it awful
that shellfish eat offal?
that those who eat
them get hepatitis
while those who eat
meat get arthritis?

CONTROL FREAK
She vacuumed her lawn
and killed many bugs
Nary a twig for the nest
of the new parents robin red breast
nary a spire on which
a butterfly might rest
**
(The Saint of Shirdi
says the tiniest cloud
can block the endless power
of the Sun as tiny imperfections
can block spiritual power)

NADIA THE NAIAD
The water nymph
Nadia the naiad
slithered away wanting
no part of a triad
AVOID MARSHMALLOWS
In Mars hollows
they avoid
marshmallows
for they truth
purity and nonviolence
hallow.
CHIPMUNK PROTECTION
Cattails.. 3 in a row
twitch at the window..
at an outside chipmunk...
Until Isaiah causes
lions to lie down with
lambs
and cats to love chipmunks
the little one is shielded
from harm
by the window..
of his purity
WASHED
Used to water
trees and plants
the dirty glass
is also cleansed.
Love flowing through
to the loved
in addition washes
the lover.
EGALITARIANS
He knew that omnivores
do not eat omnis
.. and that egalitarians
do not eat eagles..
and anyway Eagleburger
is too high on the food chain
FINGERBOWL
As killers
erase the blood in a
carwash line
they asked for a fingerbowl
and linen napkins
to wash off fowl juice
after they dine
LAIRS AND DENS AND NESTS
We chanced upon.. a rat's nest..
so hated by museum curators..
a symbol for filth..
and yet how clean it was..
how fluffy.. made of little
bits of paper.. woven of
love for little ones
We chanced upon.. a crow's collection
.. full of broken shards
.. glittering glass..
but to him..
the world's premier jewelry
ARTIST
"Whether with opaque dusting
or clarified icing
snow is the fastest painter"
said one.. while
another said.. "no ...
Sunset Gold is faster"
CLOAK OF AMNESTY
the snow
universal amnesty's cloak
gives mercy to each willow
fir and oak
YOU ARE
purer than the flame
which plays on a wick
in a lacuna of oil
more peaceful than the lotus
which weaves on a stem
in a pond of water
more joyful than
the balloon whose string
dances in a sea of air
CLEANLINESS
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness"
called Martha from the kitchen
to Mary who was seated
by Jesus, as she heard his
words.
PORNOGRAPHY
What to do when adult
2 year olds scrawl
their foulsmelling waste
upon a wall?
Hose it down and watch
the cleansing waters fall
