POWERLESS FEELING

The powerless feeling
which comes to those
who witness a German
Shepherd grieving
at his human's grave

ACCOLADES

Accolades
are for acolytes
Old souls work to

acquire
only
inner light.

EXTRAVAGANT FASHION

for the rich
sewn by the needlepricking

PUERPERAL FEVER

From the 1600s through
the end of the 19th century
most puerperal fever (childbed fever)
was caused by male gynecologists
who would examine pregnant
women one after another
without washing their hands.
Tess Gerritsen, MD, award winning
novelist, writes
that there was a much lower
incidence of this often
fatal infection when women
were delivered by midwives.
The US has a much higher rate
of Caesarian sections than
other countries. Factors
include C section generation
of much higher income for doctors,
and physician impatience at waiting for
a natural delivery. Uterus
damaging C sections also leave
scars.

WRAPPING

She bypassed suitors
who wanted to save
the wrapping of the body
and throw away the gift
of the soul

RIVEN

Water of the river
only seems riven
by the sun's
rippling ribbons.
It is actually
the river
which rives itself.     

ZELDA FITZGERALD

In Zelda's chart,
pluto, mars, neptune,
the moon, venus and south node
were opposite saturn, jupiter,
uranus and the north node.

If she had asked God for help
the opposition could have
become a magic wand

Footnote:
Zelda was born July 24, 1900     

PAVAROTTI

To pour from his heart
through his throat
200 per cent... all giving...
was the way of Pavarotti

MEDITATE

We cry outside heaven's
en-joyed gates
when the key rests in our
hands.... to meditate

NOT RIVULETS

We are all Love Incarnate
and Infinite
Yet on life's stage playing
roles... narrow.. finite.
Box us not, judge us not..
dump us not into our births
as tiny icicle drops trickling
into rivulets.. when
we are each the entire
Sea of Love

FAMILY GATHERING

From many countries
here we gather
all born of the same Mother
...the same Father

BEEKIDNAPPING

FOLLOW YOUR MASTER

Jesus the Pacifist

of Nazi boots and clenched fists

SWIRLS AND SQUIRRELS

less frantic about snow swirls
are hardworking nutgathering
trapeze artist squirrels

have help with their starts
from the shakti of Mars
and of many stars

HAREM ANALOGY

A lumber company claiming they replace the trees
analogically relates to a serial killer
saying his harem wives will be replacing
his victims with new children of his seed.

VIOLENCE SHILLING MOVIE

The movie
Love Comes Softly promotes chopping heads off of chickens,
chopping down pines, shooting turkeys to death, branding baby calves with
blazing hot irons. Love comes softly for humans in the movie, but the animal
torture
comes with shrieks.     

FOOD OF JESUS

On Holy Thursday, in
the communion service
there was breaking of bread,
not breaking of bones.
The Food of Peace, not of
animal murder, was served

WISHBONE CRIME

To break the bones
of a turkey and call it
a wishbone... is more
a curse than a blessing.
Those who want a gentle
path in life give it to
others, including the voiceless
and powerless.

1 IN 200 TO THE SEVENTEENTH POWER

There are some great psychics who
could predict heaven's lottery
in a high school graduating class..
e.g.which students would be in exact sequence
the first 17
to enter its portals...
but those who expect us to believe
that the 17 countries which received
the most World Health Org. 'smallpox
vaccine' match in exact sequence
the 17 with the most AIDS.. is a random
and not a planned occurrence....
are the genocidal depopulation
wolves who see us all as sheep
*

Footnote:
(Pearce Wright, science editor of the pre Murdoch
London Times, wrote in May of 1987 about the amazing
statistic that the 17 countries with most 'smallpox'
vaccine match in exact sequence those with the
most AIDS)     

SENTRY STARS

The sentry stars watch with detachment
from their purple velvet thrones
over a world of red battlefields,
scarlet slaughterhouses, starvation

FROGPASTE

Does the frog care if his life
was crushed by a sergeant-driven
tank or a major general's limousine?

MISSOURI AND OHIO

Like egoless women not minding
the loss of a surnames when marrying
are the mighty Missouri and Ohio
merging so silently
with the Mississippi..

WHO STOLE THE SEEDS OF LIME

In October 2 quarters and a dime
were the cost of a lime
Was it Monsanto or other who
stole the seeds from the lime?

RAINDROP CIRCLES

in deeper and wider ponds
as gifts of grace have greater
impact on older souls.

head up over the fallen scarlet oak

love to create monochrome splashes
of chrysanthemum color..
but is jamming a number of plants
together so that they cannot
grow roots kind?

BLOOM DECAPITATION

Why add to the death
in a funeral with
decapitated flowers     

UNSUNG ARTISTS

unsung artists: those who paint
museum walls offwhite as background
that the beauty of multihued paintings

DOLPHINS OF TAIJI

The Japanese village of Taiji
ends with knives

When red blood meets waters blue

Many scholars think Jack The Ripper
was trained in slicing up
animals.. and that rodeo violence
to animals is a factor in violence
to women

SWANMELT

The ice sculpture
of the swan

til God in mourning
for the Beloved
beckoned
and beguiled
