No one knows what the red dragon curled up in a drop
Of rainwater feels coming off the brow of Jesus’ baptized
Head

'How can literalists know that
The gecko on the wall is waiting for its soul make to return.'
'It is so difficult to teach
The foot the light when it is constantly pressed into the dark earth.'
*
Voices come from the mouths of rocks ... atoms sing the
Songs celestial since their original birth from the divine mother.
*
True gnosis comes from the heart of a true believer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I DON'T WANT TO BE AN APOTHECARY
I don't want to be an apothecary
and carry palliatives and bromides,
or epsom salts and Depends, distillates,
rose water or pseudopanaceas.
*
I don't want to be almost a pharmacy.
next to almost a bank with frenetic hours
with lines around the block waiting
for covid booster shots.
*
Let me cater to the natural man,
not aspiring to be a creature of AI.
Let my opening and closing hours
coincide with circadian rhythms.
*
Let my employees be brined in radiance
from the glow of pharmaceutical nirvana
in homeopathicessences, succussed from
the soul of plants and the isness of all that is...
