The Kundalini of Gratitude

gratitude pools red
we return home

no mission to accomplish
gratitude penetrates orange

finally consummating
daylight and dream

gratitude occupies yellow
so gangly arms can wrangle

stove loads of oak
gratitude spirals green

generation upon generation
fill four thousand years

gratitude bellows blue
I am, I am, I am, I am

breaks open an afternoon
gratitude summits violet

loving fingers cradle
empty porcelain cups

Death Might Be Just A Holy Rend

  Death Might Be Just A Holy Rend And life a faithful pillow - a pillow to go flat, a spirit to drift off,  glaciers to melt and raise the sea. The blueprint is clear - Expect a tiny storm of mercy–  full of crows and bottle flies to debride the corpse,  to tithe the land.      And respect the putrid demise - things that fall apart make space for miracles.   Yet there persists the memory of breath rinsed in lavender and salt air. Then the dreams for blood and semen to revive, to metabolize  every tired, sad gospel into a hatch of octopus. Death confesses everything as she conjures her necrosis, as she feigns redemption, fools us with false devotion. She believes our defiance will set her free.   We must let grief to be the thread and needle to darn the rend, renew the cloth. then we can grasp the nascent green of winter wheat in spring.
