BLEATING
In her flesh is the agony
of the lamb's fight for life,
her bleating
In her 'juice' are the
fat and uric acid
of her bleeding.

HOME AS PRIORITY
Those with libra, cancer,
or taurus planets are the
most likely to make
a clean home a priority.
LILY GILD
The plant weaves
its lilygild.
Its only desires..
rain and sunfire.
MAY THERE BE MORE FATHERS LIKE THIS
His mother told us
that Matt was reading
Charlotte's Web
to their child growing
in his mother's womb.
SILENT STARS
Tree choppers send
caterpillars live
through a chipper.
Long lines fishing boats
cut off dolphin flippers.
Mowers shred the fabric
of blooming ladies' slippers.
Sheep freeze when too soon
the fleece removed by clippers.
Jockeys who bet on races
more likely horse whippers.
Whales killed by pollution,
sonar, and shippers.
For cinnamon some kill
the plant as barkstrippers
Sturgeon cut open for
caviar
by modern fishermen rippers
who don't care that
the sturgeon have no zipper.
For topiary, plants
mutilated by
gardening snippers.
All of this happening
beneath the Big Dipper
1st draft
BABY BOYS
Baby boy chicks
in San Diego sent
alive through
a chipper
and in Iowa
they are
sent through a crusher
as do the rich
and religious haters
send the poor
into profit sired wars.

AMENDING A COMMANDMENT
A certain cows' milk
company in our area
manufactured milk
crates which
said "Thou shalt not
steal" to which we
wished to add
"their babies' milk
from mother cows".
CASTRATED PLANTS
Seedless are
some watermelons
and limes,
grapes and clementines
Human manipulation
is plant castration.
CLUTTER
Clutter is sometimes
crystallized sadness,
or fear,
sometimes an ethical
decision to recycle,
or maintaining a warehouse
for those in need,
or simply someone
who doesn't have
enough time in the day
for all the work he does.

UNIVERSAL PASSWORD
The master key unlocking all doors is love.
The eternal password opening all secret places
is love.
The answer to all questions is love.
The solution to all problems is love.
The way out of all mazes is love.

GODGILT
Often criticism is
projected guilt...
we haven't forgiven
ourselves and fail
to see the
other as God-gilt
*
The Course In Miracles says the messages we give to others are
first meant for ourselves....
EDITING POE
"And my soul from out that shadow
that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted" - EVERMORE
FROGPRINCE
He's a princebound frog
in training to leave for
the palace
from the slimy bog

NOT RIPPING THE UNRIPE
Why should I rip
from tree fruit unripe.
Let it fill slowly
and swell with rain.
Why should human beings
hurry relationships
which unfold
gradually, peacefully

DECEMBER 28TH: THE FEAST OF THE HOLY INNOCENTS
December 28th:
the feast of the Holy Innocents
.. those 2 year old baby boys
slaughtered by Herod
in his mad search for the little
Jesus..
December 28th.. when little
baby trees.. slaughtered
.. begin to show up on the curb
their resident flightless
baby birds and squirrels
long smashed or scattered
other trees' green flesh turned
into ephemeral wrapping paper
and Christmas cards
.... forests shattered
