St Francis' sermon

to each mermaid and merman:

Leave their fur on ermine

Rats are not vermin.

whose entire family lives

the love of all life)

God will also lift.

TRILLIONS DEAD

Animals killed for dinner tables.
Animals trapped for brutal sable.
Animal flesh ads on hawkish cable.
Sellout 'scientists' put out fish oil fables.
Caged animals hidden neath college gables.
Pig lard obscured in canned good labels.

MOTHER CAT

She was a stray. The neighbor had found her kitties in her garage
and had gathered them up to take to the pound. She was full of the milk of a
mother's kindness. Only time would dry her up.

POLYCIDAL CAT

What do those who call themselves
prolife while promoting war think
when a polycidal bombing drone
kills numberless pregnant women
and their children?

DROUPADI'S GREEN

Krishna
stop the rapists
from ripping Mother Earth's
Droupadi sari everywhere..
materialize for her now
endless new jade yards.

SUN INSIDE

No longer chasing the
setting sun ,, is Elisa Wei
She finds him shining inside her
... that is her way

WRITING ON WATER

Those who attempted
to colonize Vietnam
have written on water.

OBEDIENCE TO THE BEAT

Sunflowers twirl in
obedience to the beat
of sunbeam batons

GOSLING BABIES

While her gosling babies
are perched on her wing
she will not in
sky freedom swing
tethered by the strongest
rope of all: divine love.

RAMADAN FASTER, SABBATH OBSERVER

Ramadan faster waits the disappearance of the sun, that he might be nourished.
Sabbath observer waits for dusk, that he may ride to his beloved.

STERILITY AND SENILITY

Amyloid plaque causes senility.
Animal flesh causes sterility..
another word for infertility.

SCARLET PIMPERNEL

Traveling back in time
disguised as a dandy
is the scarlet pimpernel
ready to risk all
to save Antoinette
from her selfdesigned hell

LOVERS' AURAS

In each chakra
Lovers' auras merge
each sending tendrils of the heart vine
up and down the spine
the other to entwine
