Nines
```
In the dark
We arrive
At the west end
Of the continent
Of the millennium

To the outflowing tide
Throw passport     throw bankbook
Excrete     Vomit     Emote

Through Pisces to Aquarius VI

               VI
He continued with the story
Of his latest business venture,
At times interspersed with phone calls
Or news of family and friends.

I wanted to mention the awe
Of first seeing the northern lights
And their frenzied undulations;
At times covering the night sky
With many wild, breathing colors;

A Dream

I am with Child
I sense its presence
I feel its movement
I know its thoughts

Finally I understand
The Cosmic Child is within me
Restlessly waiting to be Birthed
Into the Light of a New Day

Children of the Sun VI

Again as before
On the third planet
Thinking inhabitants
Began to emerge
To begin the journey
Countless generations
Of distant relatives
Had previously taken
Through multiple stages
Of individual growth

The Mirror
```
Leaping     Blindly falling
Inside darkness     Floating
   Fear consumes
   And finally subsides
As time slows toward stop

The Promise

As a constant reminder		
I taped a yellow
And a blue crocus
To the inside of my head

Continue to Night of the Living

And All the King’s Men

We have finally passed the point of no return,
And during transition from fragile order
To the Chaos we invited into being,
Persistent Decay is all that can exist. . .

   But, with blinders intact,
      We see it not;
   From positions of power,
      We hear it not;
         Yet, we know. . .

Paths I, xi

Once beyond the cyclic madness
   We view the pinnacle ahead,
   Giving thanks for not being listed
   Today among the living dead,
Or those falling in their gladness
   To the games of the charlatan.
      Embody the ever eternal flame
      Uncoiling the torn and twisted
      Ways, for which there is only blame.
   Interpret the Divine Musician
Playing chords that brighten sadness
   And be the Good Samaritan
   In which grows the Natural Man.

To John Keats
```
Creative thought—
That which is progress
Is found in the form of escape, or
Whether it be daydreams or
Balancing on the fence
Between sleep and wake; for it is
Sleep and Poetry.
