Sunday

Poem Elephant

Awoke from the dream
Had been excitedly running around someone 
Trying to explain to them what a poem elephant is
Had one in my hand
Holding it up to there face
A clip on elephant badge 
With the words
Poem Elephant 
Written at the end of its trunk
Was it not obvious!
It is a poem elephant!
Had forgotten to wear it
Maybe I had been misplaced
Had found it
Intending to pin it to my chest
So that they could know who I am

Notice

Been there in the Ruatoria air
Winters coming on and the rains coming down.
I'm living in the country but I wanna be in town
Living with the people in their cruisy way of life
Cutting down the workload and cutting down the strife
I've gotten used to the go slow story
The last three months at Makorori
Having my existence paid by the normal job slaves
Racing to work like they're racing to their graves
So many hate to do it so they do it anyway
I am respectable I'm working for my pay
But they never will be happy living out their lives
If the job is a fake mate if their happiness is lies
So I'm handing in my notice boss
Sorry to hit you with a losing toss
Notice is on
Hope someone else comes along
The work has been good but my working urge has gone

Monday

l-k

Your soul is not a souk
Move one letter and it took
You from life to market place
From the gift into disgrace

Thursday

Is that Clear

I want to be transparent.
It is not that I want to dissapear.
It is so that you can see right through me
and  know that I am not hiding.
To be known requires to be shown.
To love and be loved, vulnerability.
I need! the ability to love and be loved.
So... I go to look up what vulner is, and like that
my bookmarked thesaurus is fixed on the word
comeon with the synonym of amorous...
Vulner- no thesaurus results
Did you mean Viler- liner vainer vailer vulgar cloner lune
loner.
No! I want to be able to be accessible sensitive
defenseless susceptible exposed unsafe liable weak
ready
To Love. Is that Clear!

Sunday



Having no money 
the only thing that 
I had to give 
from my pocket 
was an empty pen 
On it the words
Ink Joy

                  


Saturday

Just

Just sit and watch
waves and wind
clouds and caterpillars
plants and people
fire and frost
what have you gained
           and
what have you lost
             ?

me

I find my sustenance following the tide
Walking in the edge places
Where abundance is most available
When one meets the other
I stand between
Within reach of the poles
As heaven meets earth
              me
