CATCH A FALLING STAR

*

The crescent moon
caught many falling stars
.. she rested and revived
them..
and said
"a star is what you are"

And when they healed
they left her..
soaring from her moorings
into what she'd given
them...
endless new mornings

(to Angela Lansbury-

CREATING SICKNESS FOR MAMMON

*

Deaths from anesthesia,
tardifdyskinesia.
Pricegouging thieves
False bills they weave.
Needless operations of surgeons
like those who rip sturgeon
100 million incidents of iatrogenesis
Outlawing healing herbs in Genesis.

*

NEMATODE

*

The shy nematode
the leafthroned
treetoad
the sloth twotoed
the sloth threetoed
.. may protected from
bulldozers be
their abode
.. and protected
the springwood newly doed

*

VENUS AND MARS

*

Venus loves togetherness
Mars prefers to be alone
Venus loves peace
Mars prefers war
Venus loves beauty
Mars makes scars

E S Vance: I prefer
winning to fighting
EKB: Does one want
to vent or to persuade?

*
RAINEVICTED

*

How kind of angels
to provide fallen
pine needles and
the stems of last
year's leaves
to pick up
the rain-evicted
earthworms
in the path of
cars

*
TERRIFIED SQUIRREL

*

The terrified
squirrel went
back and forth twice
trying to escape
the oncoming car.
God's grace saved
him from his own
indecisiveness
and speeding
human beings.

*

NIGHTCRAWLERS

*

Fishermen:
daytime stalkers
of nightcrawlers

*

MORAINE LAKE

*

As the tongue lives
surrounded by sharp
teeth
Moraine Lake
lies encircled by
jagged peaks.

*

Footnote:

"Be like the tongue which
lies unharmed surrounded
by soldier teeth."  -Sathya Sai Baba-

*

GLIDING ROUND ONES

*

It is heavenly
bodies most nearly round
which most easily
in orbits can glide around
It is people who
can work the circles
and arcs who have
more harmony
than those who insist
on straight lines

*

ABHAYA HASTA

*

May Baba say to
those forest animals
'abhaya hasta, bhaktavatsala'
'Have no fear, My protected
beloved children

*

JADA BHARAT

*

Jada Bharat, a holy monk,
was drafted by the king's
men to carry
the king's palanquin.
Because he would not
step on the ants
and therefore carried
the load erratically
he was excused from
slavery.

*

LUKE 13

*

When Jesus, as recorded
in Luke 13, said
'there shall be the weeping
and gnashing of teeth'...
could He have meant
that those who learn not
in this life must
come again
.. to undergo the
crying of birth
and teething's pain?

*

GREEN OF GANGRENE

*

Billionaire butchers
and mongers of flesh
wish to hide
the green of gangrene
the gray of rot
in the infected
decaying cadavers
they sell.

"Sodium benzoate, sodium propionate, and benzoic acid will now be permissible for use in preserving and treating meat and poultry products, despite having been previously banned. FSIS has long been of the persuasion that major food corporations would attempt to use such additives to "conceal damage or inferiority in meat and poultry," but the agency's view has apparently changed."
