Downside Up Moon
Downside Up Moon July 21, 2024 Full Moon -In solidarity with reeling, dizzy & overheated beings I keep feeling good at least okay, not-terrible this I blame on the equanimity of birds who continue to scrutinize gnarly branches wiping their orange & black beaks across lichens’ hoarse surface & making their dawn-of-creation ecumenical merriment I tried […]
Rise Up & Purify the Sky Moon
Rise Up & Purify the Sky Moon New Moon July 5, 2024 The thin model of a spider’s soul collects green pollen & shimmers most sensually in the first hour of sunrise Beveled glass portholes cast subtle arcing rainbows they perambulate with painted shapes of change & make surprise appearances on the page There is much […]
Remember She Said Moon
Remember She Said Moon Full Solstice Moon June 22, 2024 Let this morning bird song interrupt confusion The way a hammerdrill or freeway captivates A certain part of one’s attention when praying Trills of notes that mimic flight carry skyward The banner of courageous humility Known as the face of ordinariness This air song flies through […]

War Is Over (If We Want It) Moon
War Is Over (If We Want It) Moon Full Moon April 23, 2024 This morning I sit in the incense Of jasmine & marvel at the intersection Where we meet—how wild the body The earth, the mind, the twining solar field How wild the scent of spring water under willow And open—how open to each other, […]
Gum Tree Oxygen Moon
Gum Tree Oxygen Moon New Moon April 8, 2024 One day soon our moon will say to us to anyone who listens— I am always going Under cover of night disrobed in transparence as deft & casual with beauty as any flowering spring the moon we share will go This unsurpassable breath Seeds fill the air […]
Implicit Association Moon
Implicit Association Moon Full Moon March 24, 2024 Yes, first moon of spring, We are in a strange moment & could use some illumination. Here, early in the day, Already street ceremonies underway Metal rattles & petrol drums. I read poetry in a dark room That speaks in the affirmative While crows rasp outside. Blue lupines, […]
Brought To My Knees Moon
Brought To My Knees Moon New Moon March 10, 2024 The war In our hearts Goes on Small faraway moon We are blessed beyond The sayable And still I confess The pain of compassion Interrupts another day The vast dark infinite Hummingbird lightning This seed of peace Is there a secret Buried in the sky Dear […]
