Oak Stark and Contrast

stark

conrast
longing
mystery


without your leaves

i see your bones

stark and contrast

against a grey

and foggy sky

the space between

illuminates your depth,

reveals your true shape

etched in branching patterns

charcoal in my mind,

as it reels

memories of a season turned

of love relinquished

life on the tail

of a headwind

in all four directions at once.

restless

winter charmed

explosive emotion

played out in heavy rain

up on the hill

so proud and loud

walked in circles

unraveling layers

complexities of youth

of age

of truth

light returns

your leaves return

i return

to the mystery

dormant, abrupt

longing.

Digging For Fire

Inspired by a Pixies song on the drive home from Mojave, circa 2005-ish...
The first two pictures below are actually from a party at "the ranch" in LA. but, holy crap, just look at them! I was oscillating between realms and Catalyx actually managed to capture that on film. Everytime I see these I am speechless!

Now you see me...

Now you don't!

Heart shaped XLR8R

Across desert expanse

and cloudy eyes -

kaleidoscope moon,

pull me down.

Third eye vision tears through darkness

clarity consumed

She whispers to me

lonely secrets of tonite.

Spiral in and spiral out,

pull me down with you.

Momentary focus

a glimpse of center

of Self.

Who am I these days?

I'm digging for Fire.

Through smoke

and cold reflections -

restless flame

pull me in.

Tentacles of fire

escape a pixilated center

rise into skulls

dance into bones

purple hues swallow my eyes,

pull me in with you.

An obscure observation

shrinking and ferocious

awestruck.

How did I get so lost?

I'm digging for Fire.

Above warm earth

under jagged sky -

volatile cloud

pull me up.

Streams of light

captured in an azure haze

morphing bodies, fractals, bodies

Soaring through a whimsical sky

wrapped in your confused embrace

pull me up with you.

The pain of a gasping sob

what is lost can be found again.

Humbled.

How will I find myself?

I'm digging for Fire.

Between earthly realm

and unknown -

shifting Timespell

pull me through.

Release me from this trap

the incredible burden of Time,

pattern and expectation.

Destroy this imagined structure

invoke my passion and delight

pull me through you.

Unsure but steadfast,

doubting yet determined,

a cycle begins as another fades.

Who can I become this time?

I'm digging for Fire.

Passion Wants To (Unbury the Bones)

Mercury in retrograde, a great time for revisiting and re-evaluating. In this case, editing. I am working on a very special collaboration with my mom and I'm going through a lot of old pieces. Thought I would repost a few favorites....

wants to

Skeleton Woman emerges

13 Grandmothers


Bones are buried in the earth,

but the house is on fire

and children run screaming into the void.

The flimsy handle of a plastic spoon

can't dig you out of this enigma,

threshold dripping like an overripe fruit.

Chaos surfing the waves of a thousand ancient tomorrows,

eyes propped open with toothpick stability,

no requiem for this mad, insidious night.

The whisper of my heart comes roaring

out of ripped open throat chakra,

amplified by moldavite mysteries.

Passivity feeds Desire,

Desire fuels Passion,

Passion wants to dance wildly,

ecstatically chanting its own name

in a field of bemused sunflowers.

Passion wants to strip naked,

licking the flame of its own existence

humming a slowed down version of its favorite song.

Passion wants to lock eyes

at the star crushing point of orgasm

and purrrrrrrr in blissful abandon.

The corners of the universe bow down

marking the pages

of places

people

lost teeth

wrong turns

first kisses

bellyaches

that weave the intricate fabric of our being -

simple reminders of our all consuming smallness.

Swirling inside our triple spheres

playful interactions,

engaging distractions,

divine invitations to tea.

The cells of this body cannot sustain the old and weary.

Skeleton Woman scrambles to find shelter

inside of changing skin.

Held fast by the raging ebb and flow of infinite curiosity,

of the epic journey of a single breath,

as it flows in and out of consciousness.

Soul scream breaks free from weathered lips,

doubt disintegrates in the emptiness of the moon,

sung down by a circle of weird sisters.

This fear lodged within every inch of our captive bodies

heating our blood to the point of boiling,

fights its way to compassionate ears.

The wisdom of 222 grandmothers

muffled and lost behind double paned windows

and triple locked doors.
