Achilles Heal

A gap breathed space Into the fortress Of a soul walled in By dreaming of Absolute security In its individual completeness Elevated above some baseline standard Of soles firmly planted At odds with one as another In foundations of quicksand Set fast in cement How quickly this dreaming Would fade In less than a lifeline […]
A Simple Message
A simple message breathes into Mind. Immerse your Self in the Receptive Stillness of Space, Within Life,
As the Wind Blows Through Me
I am that empty tortoise shell This resonating chamber Made receptive by hollowing out, Which opens up when troubled or awakened By Apollo’s certain put-me-downs To let the wind blow through me As his lips play upon my voice Vibrating my heart strings In empathic response Making music, Making verse, Making Art, Or, something worse […]
