Bohemian pledge
I make no plans.
I infringe on nothing natural.
I aid this planet’s health through Being
along for the ride alone.
I erect nothing
where nothing has recently been and
I take back what greed has forced astray.
I write, paint, sing and dance
this original Human back to life
before the storm tore early dawn.
I enjoy that joy may grow fruitful in One
Circle on and on and on.
Raised by whales
Sacred garbled dispersal
perennial hand-me-down’s conflicting
original kaleidoscope
lost in common quoting
intimate patience lacking
lost in thumping buzzing
buzzing chapter/verse
blind-binding ignorance
overshooting innocence
shored to very kingdom come.
I want ocean floors with One
winged brushed voice
ever moving whales surfacing
majestic between dives.
I want simple Circle’s turn
humbly immersed
outspoken and well received.
I want coursing tapestries
vivid days and nights
connect the dot non-linear
progression to grandfather blur and
I want the world to follow suit
remembering itself.
The Romantic
I center myself in cause and effect
breathe decisions Jupiter shy and
grieve for further damage. I’m no angel
just struck random feathered view
like anyone listening.
Too often too wrong I’ve sent
intimate spinning deaf and dumb
sucker for lost puppy games
hand-me-down whales
diving manic slow.I come up hard-cooled jade
exploring ocean bottom caves
under autumn dancing trees for my
delicate amazon still
romantic to tired core.
