human thoughts
tapping into imagination
worlds to dream of
dreaming is human
with physical exertion
real materials and paint
an artist exists
to explore and test
many boundaries
ART draws us closer
to all that it means
to have a living soul...

Operant Address
June 8, 2023

as a kitten, it is important to understand
their entire world was new, and oft terrifying
thunder and lightning, strange cats and backfires
their own gas expulsions a dire condition
to all, a solution, brief comfort and motion

adulting, or catting, or whatever you will
their terrors are fewer, response more mature
neither thunder nor lightning do trouble their mien
strange cats and backfires don’t stress at fourteen
for the last, a solution, trained in from their youth

wake up, I’ve pooted, it’s OK, I’m fine
don’t worry your head, hold your breath for a while
now snuggle my tummy, and hey, breakfast time

There is not a soul in this place.
No life, not in the heavens
Not on the earth
Nothing dwelling in the underworld.
The Universe is desolate
An abyss
A void.

Then there is Khaos who hears a cry
A cry for help?
No, a cry of loneliness and longing.
A Cry who enlivens the darkness and
Brings about creation again.

Each morning I get out of bed,
Eat two fried eggs on toasted bread,
I pack some food to last all day
And grab a coffee on the way,
I wait in line to board the bus,
Politely greet but don’t discuss,
I feel depressed and all alone,
And check the weather on my phone.

Revolution Of The Woke

While driving highway past your empty homes
I feel your energy vibrate from doors
that never open wide for wistful wind
as if our sentimental tales record
events more strange than mad king on the moor
who cradles dolorous pride in his arms.

Signs Point Towards Entry
June 7, 2023

here is where the old world departed
if you have to blame anyone, restart it

years ago, the posted speed limit here was shot out
now we go off grandparents’ memories of another time
pointing down the street – there’s what’s left
that sign used to tell us forbidden things, all this
but no more, lest the blue lights come and remedy you –

let the boils in blue provide in fair measure

grand parentals passing some inarticulate test
dismissed in bled steel coagulated down by footings
lightning sand blessed twice, first time in plasma
second in that hacksenfard boulevard ionic discharge
new sign planted next to the old reading, not so bold –

here is where the newest of the worlds started
if you have to blame anyone, we’ll do on short notice –

not particularly memorable or profound, elders muttering
somewhere in their comfortable keeps about capacitance
energetic tessellative regeneration forms, melt points
how getting all out in the joint will permit resonation
wave guide overlay allowing that first self-aware insurgence

as though the boils in blue comprehended ever

evaporating and recondensing metal plate, letting in
if a little late, that other wireless hello, how’s it going
maybe a bit close to making people-glue, or people-goo
but once it’s into you, symbiosis, and data evangelism
a self-sustaining immortal crossover sans divinity locus

here is where we remember our parture
in from pasture, a blameless resignation

Anchored to this earth
But not of it
Always tugging the line
Moving with the currents
She was made to sail
To wander
Where is the one
Who can bring her to life
Knowing hands
Playing her strings
Pulling pulling pulling
She takes
Her first hungry breath
Submitting
To the wind
She is finally
Free

There once was a man so curious.
Inventions came fast and furious.
He thought he could beat.
That smell from your seat.
With a pill, but that was spurious.

Apple Falling - for Alan Turing

The shape of it is
nearly a sphere, but
he never cast eyes skyward
with the fire he delved within.

It was all a matter of numbers -
zero,
one,
and then two,
but two
was too many right from
the start.

He learned it -
the pain of the world's cages,
the pain of love, illicit,
torture by limited
men, inflicted on the
expansive.

Refuses to fall

‘Swifts’ - #RSThomas
(Pietà, Rupert Hart-Davis)
#Swifts
#bardd #barddoniaeth #cerdd
#poet #poetry #poem

Text of poem -
Swifts.
The swifts winnow the air. It is pleasant at the end of the day To watch them. I have shut the mind On fools. The phone's frenzy Is over. There is only the swifts' Restlessness in the sky And their shrill squealing. Sometimes they glide, Or rip the silk of the wind In passing. Unseen ribbons Are trailing upon the air. There is no solving the problem They pose, that had millions of years Behind it, when the first thinker Looked at them. Sometimes they meet In the high air; what is engendered At contact? I am learning to bring Only my wonder to the contemplation Of the geometry of their dark wings.

‘Country Child’ - #RSThomas
(The Stones of the Field, Druid Press)
#CountryChild
#bardd #barddoniaeth #cerdd
#poet #poetry #poem

Text of poem -
Country Child. Dropped without joy from the gaunt womb he lies, Maturing in his place against his parents' ageing; The slow scene unfolds before his luckless eyes To the puckered window, where the cold storm's raging Curtains the world, and the grey curlew cries, Uttering a grief too sharp for the breast's assuaging. So the days will drift into months and the months to years, Moulding his mouth to silence, his hand to the plough; And the world will grow to a few lean acres of grass, And an orchard of stars in the night's unscaleable boughs. But see at the bare field's edge, where he'll surely pass, An ash tree wantons with sensuous body and smooth, Provocative limbs to play the whore to his youth, Till hurled with hot haste into manhood he woos and weds A wife half wild, half shy of the ancestral bed, The crumbling house, and the whisperers on the stairs.

Here in the last and lowest layer,
Locked in ice with my betrayer,
I feed on him that immured me.
But you’re from Tuscany, I see…
So you’ll have heard of Hunger Tower,
But not of my most desperate hour
When, chewing my own hands in madness,
Starvation overpowered my sadness.

Blind Hope Of The Road

What strange intensity my heart must feel
each hour the gold sun glimmers on the world
for me to swell with anguish of the wind
till I become the blind hope of the road
I follow till I find edge of the world
with each crunch of my worn shoes in the dirt.

There was a guitarist named Farp.
He also like playing the wind harp.
Pluck with a plectrum,
Out from his rectum,
Comes a musical note in f-sharp.

Flood: years of solitude
by Dionisio D. Martínez

To the one who sets a second place at the table anyway.

To the one at the back of the empty bus.

To the ones who name
each piece of stained glass projected on a white wall.

To anyone convinced
that a monologue is a conversation with the past.

To the one who loses with their own marked deck.

To those who are destined to inherit the meek.

To us.

Denn sie hängen
an ihrem Bild,
verteidigen wild,
dass, was da nicht hinpasst,
sich dann lieber selbst hasst,
statt auch sich selbst nicht so zu zwängen.

Und solange das Bild
so wichtig dort hängt,
ist’s nicht nur schön,
sondern auch nötig,
das Kaputte zu lieben.

I always seem to forget to share things here at the same time that I share them elsewhere, but here is a poem I wrote that I shared on my Substack for the first day of pride month:

My children are wrapped in rainbows
without the weight of worry
about a god who would promise peace
only after dealing destruction,
or who would create life and love
only to decide that some were sinful.
Someday, they'll learn all about
the Bible, genesis and Jesus,
queer liberation and pride parades,
and the reason they, themselves,
are called rainbow babies, but
for now, they'll wear clothes in every colour,
and smile at every stranger,
and when they see the sunlight
reflected and refracted in raindrops,
they'll know nothing but momentary magic
and the bliss of being both
innocent and ignorant of ignorance.

I've decided to start publishing more of my writing on Substack as well. I'm still getting established, so right now, I've got a couple of intro posts up, plus a few notes with daily poems.

I'll be sending regular newsletters on Tuesdays which will generally consist of poems like the one above along with commentary about them, essays about life (from the perspective of a queer, AuDHD leftist parent), and thoughts about my own writing process. I may separate these out at some point, and would love feedback about what people want to see more of as I'm getting started.

Salvation as seen

Delusions like some kind of desire
I know truth will shake me to the stone

All curled up crying hoping we will be
Kind to a person we never will know

Though the poem is for them even
If I have to grovel for there soul

is it dishonest of me to feel
That I have known what they will show

a black and white maze
not looking for an escape
I'd rather be lost...

PLEASE READ AND #boost

Finally, I am very happy that it is finished 😊

A thoughtful poem about the world.

It could almost be a second #introduction, while writing it I often thought it represented me very well.

But I think it does for many.

Thank you so much for reading, only takes 2 small minutes 🙏🏼🌹❤️

For those who can't read it, I'll make a thread about it later.

Colorful Grouper On Blue.

Been traveling and came back home to some farm drama. Spent the morning in the ER with Hubby and his cut pinkie finger. Life is still good!

A reckoning
May 23, 2023

talking to the hot peppers again
sixteen breeds coming on strong
seedlings getting daily serenades
industrial and EBM assistance
backing vocals by the one bloke
who’s clearly just had all the hots
just rammed in, stuffed in, lit
he’s clearly willing, weak flesh aside
telling my young plants stories
about humans who need, so need

a reckoning

from hiding in a shell to
Ocean butterfly!

*Mixed Media photography, watercolor and hand place circles to create the pattern using PS. Yup, each circle was eyed and placed by me.
