Venus in Aspect

(for Iris and Joe, September 10, 2011)

Let’s make it a day for conjecture.
When two get hitched at one on nine ten eleven,
Ripe scarlet transecting a Shenandoah slope.
The sum is not a Fibonacci. I saw a proof on that.

Venus blesses them with generosity

The beauty of this wedding will feed multitudes.

Venus blesses them with generosity,
Maybe elephants and the Arctic ice won’t disappear.
The beauty of this wedding will feed multitudes.
Here, today, two hearts already together, are everything but one.

Maybe elephants and the Arctic ice won’t disappear.
And being so close to a full harvest moon plus equinox,
Here, today two hearts already together, are everything but one.
It’s easy to extrapolate that love goes on and on.

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.
