Our parents
Agreed to eat the Earth
Just like their parents before them
And so on
Since the Industrial Revolution
But before that
Ritual and the Tribe were involved
With daily life
And it all worked smoothly
Even the Earth broke even
On that deal
Well hell
Let’s go clear cut some breakfast

Whatever pleases the greedy soul is like a drop of burning oil to the heart.
Robert Bly
I was washed by hand and hung out
On the line to dry
Local birds knew me
On a first name basis
White and gray clouds
Floated past the sun
I was there so very long
Eventually my whiskers began to grow
And the Monsignor declared me to be a man

The tipping earth, the swarming stars have an eye that sees itself.
Kenneth Rexroth
Foggy before sunrise
Wisps among the trees
Makes it all look magical
My doggo and I stand there
Entranced
James Lee Jobe
I’ve seen a hand open and pearls as beautiful as the world pour out across the shore.

An actor bursts in
Onto the stage
Ready at last
To speak his lines
Moonlight slips in too
Through the open window
