go stop something horrible – chicken house mountains are the sea

full moon was an ice crystal halo
took half the mountain sky starting from center
no light is refracted at angles smaller than twentytwo degrees
rain for the dry ridges and valleys
low streams and rivers
unreliable but as certain
counting stars or wandering moon dogs
falling leaves just
eyes are the melting halo reflected
the rain is already in the dirt rocks trees leaves walking flying
hills are swells colored autumn leaves plankton rising to surface
mountains are billows
ridges are rollers
all the autumn leaves eyes burrowing walking flying the dappled sea
i ride on a fossil fuel ribbon thru
ocean of mountains swallow me
waves of mountains slowly subside
ripples of mountains into alluvial shore
on to ocean of water wanting mountains
one is the other the other is one
oceans and mountains
we are both love and nothing more

go stop something horrible – figuratively speaking literally dying

may the drumming in the basin penetrate the alluvium
and more
may the drumming nacotchtank heal the atmosphere
and more
may the drumming piscataway be the heart of the people
and more
may the drumming chocolate city
drumming
continue.
mr pinkham from the twelfth balcony
take a swan dive cliff style
open arms land as a phoenix near a beating drum,
mr america from the flag pole(s)
bars captured stars medieval castles
softly flutter down last flight,
ms haaland come out to the balcony
welcome your people
strong and magnificently dance their demands
consecrate action,
mr joe expect your self
your people have spoken are speaking
on to your horse out of the peaceful park
people versus fossil fuels literally dying
we can’t have both

predawn moon the grace over capitol dome
synthetically bright light twentyfirst century tents
foregound in walks dry fountains
just where rolling steel ends
in a hall
manipulation of space
frigidarium tepidarium caldarium

arriving people from allover
arriving old black sun from long ago for burning
from daysaway uplifted now soaring swamps

people in
synthetically bright light twentyfirst century tents
are not so welcome in columbus circle
as they are by a mischief
predawn moon

meanwhile our minutes away patricia
cozy thankyou in gated urbia suburbia
quiet are our moments our fascist soul
do i pretend my ennui is anger
will be made to sever the ducts of old black sun
by sun just now
and oxygens stuck just now with old black sun

go stop something horrible – grandbeautiful baby napping

with michael and mary on a rock in a stream near cepowig
so called saltpeter sulfur and charcoal
both big and little in this short story
for count of fifty curled face down
twelve hundred thirty five days post fetus
with michael and mary on a rock in a stream near cepowig
part of the rock briefly
come from mink blue heron rainbow trout mother downy woodpecker

somewhere between pretending newborn held needing
and wanting to ride warrior on a great ball in space
the young child could have been the rock
as the gunpowder fell softly around
no better perspective than the skin of the dark gray rock
as the gunpowder falls softly around
pause in sorting the so many reasons why
same why different reasons
same reasons said differently why
as the gunpowder falls softly around
their why some future only theirs
with michael and mary on a rock in a stream near cepowig
for just a moment then
floating through mink blue heron rainbow trout mother downy woodpecker
with the gunpowder softly around

further east and south
a smaller sister stream
on an outcrop from deep below
where turtle plays possum or sleeps like she was washed up in a flood
crickets swim across the stream at the swimming hole
the whys resolve into dust scattered around
for all moments forty five months ago for ever now on
grandbeautiful babys sister mother
not napping but with michael and mary around a stream near cepowig
perfect ruckus the falling little gunpowder
until the great ocean is grandbeautiful baby
