so the king died

so the king died & was brought to kala & they buried him there
they washed the chariot at a pool in kala
(where the prostitutes bathed) and the dogs licked up his blood

king
yellow burnt life : silence
no beginning of days
no mother : no father
no end of days
red :: ash

echo
i must lie down where
all the stairs begin
and then the truth has its play
lamb and lion pursue my thoughts
intellect judges the deep selfishness of my body's drug
while waking the echos of my imagination

dogs
the wounds divided into the night
the bloody floor : table : bed: a bitter end
king is dead : an unstatisfied throat of pride
dogs recognized the musical scent of blood
death takes what man keeps

prostitutes
an empty stain beside the pool
where lamb and woman climb into paper forgotten oaths
whispers from soldiers : feathers : brothers / forgotten
the pool : the moon : the birds
no banners for her / no bribe

a.
she bent her body to shape dust and dirt
and her air of immortality
blossomed into a kingdom
a copy of clay and power
the prostitutes made their demands
spade the dirty hand
some confused others took the lead

b.
the king's ghost / lightening laughed
she sang of lust and rage
unbegotten to the new dead age

c.
their souls constituted
a freedom of dried frangrances
a language beaten into their shiva moons
sing me a song : break stones / battle one

(Please play audio + write your hopes on a scroll. Place the scroll into an envelope : go to the sea : barefoot : walk to the mouth : placing your scroll into her wave : smell her scent / remembering what it's like to cry tears) x:w

seven days of mourning for the dead.
On day seven, Shiva ends in the morning::

a vessel of oil is sitting on the shelf, and that is all the woman had to give. she had talked about it with him late into the night.

road of mystery
harvest non:chalant papyrus
tender moments of water trickling down
the slopes of the atlas

my heart has room for you
i know that you are coming soon
toronto morning must be near
the candle is burning on the path of uncomprising : bitter/now
follow me there, young but getting too old for this/now
there :: tomorrow you may stand

furrowing into that distant land

for you and i only had that which is past
and like life, you must always make
4. some
3. part of
2. that
remnant
1. last

journey of light


Thank God for another year.
11 : 10 : 1975 = 36 years young.
And while I don't focus my thoughts on things that are seen, the eternal love and light of gratitude causes an abundance of love and blessings. For my birhtday, if you would like to send gifts of love and light, please send them to Maria and her family.

We are troubled and oppressed in every way :: but we are able to find a way out. Maria and her family (baby boy 6 months + 11 yr old daughter) living in a phone booth in Bastille, Paris. I gave her one of my coats, took her grocery shopping ( diapers + baby food ect.), then we went to get her prescription filled. She just had a miscarriage. Did all this for 100€ (then gave her 100€). She was so humble, she didn't even want to accept the gifts.

Next :: I want to get her an apartment and put her daughter back in school. But first, I would like to place her in a shelter during this transition. Lord bless them :: no one should be living in poverty. Selah. Thank you family. Jah Bless

Fable : Money is good, and a girl might be better


a young man in the dark am i
things hid in their marrow-bones
from time long passed, their bodies lay.
daybreak and a candle-end

all men live in suffering
you make me real
i know as few can
fluid
dense
whether they take the upper road
or stay content with the low
you say everything in advance
you spoil the end

fall in love with your children

our abuse, you disclose our fall

you were wrong not to hold your tongue

betrayed

intentions

you spit your nothing into the shadows
you proclaim color,
you can not hide the strings,
the high tower of fear, climbed by noise and clamor
or whisper that man is a fool.

a man had six mortal wounds
violent and famous, walked among the dead
she looked through the tree branches,
she thread the needle and made an ancient rule.
she was driven from home, and left to die in fear
they sang, but did not have human tones
though all was done in common as before
they had changed their ancestors and had the throats of birds.

he thought ::
all i ever wanted was a touch of everything
i sought for it in vain
i sought for it for seven days and seven hours
he loved her in secret
enslaved, they layed under the color :: casual flesh

she stopped him, round, covered and fought the
wisdom of memory and found herself never looking very far.

written at home
inspired by the music of icebird (i'm green :: 2011 abandoned lullaby)
and poetry of William B. Yeats (1936-39)
