p.s....of late.....some semblace of you appears , regularly, in my dreaming.......i am becoming more comfortable in it's company in my mindlife......for when i go to that place inside......those with whom i share my inner world people the places of dreaming.........more and more, i dream not of the unfamiliar but of those with whom my spirits are uplifted....and i am glad to see you there......for that means that i am in your dreams also..

RETURN TO FOREVER

the fire, burning in silence,
exhausted in thin air,
fades to black...
a vision in darkness.
An imploding cry
trips toward the Void;
deceptive memory,
roots rotting,
Earth caving to the loss...
an elemental force
leaving but tomorrows'
thoughts of yesterdays,
returning to it's craft,
programmed for infinity.

HELIX SHIFT

looking through sugar,
held in an embrace of hydrogen bonding,
and secured by the energies of eternity
becomes the whos we are...
the cellwalls of memory,
collapsing into oblivion,
will unite us all,
returning dense forms to Light.

pity focus on what one should not do,
that draws the spirit to failed' paths
for fear to tread the silken road to bliss;
and thus through briars and thorns
to pass on to another world,
when we are born with blueprint
for a natural path to skies
whose endless blue envelops
the darkness of our ploys
and bathes the earthen way with light.

THE POET

The poet is done seeing by a length, seeing from an immense and reasoned, disordered state of all the directions, in all forms of love, suffering, madness; he seeks himself, he exhausts in him all the poisons, to keep only quintessences of them to dispel dark forces. Unutterable torture, where it needs all the faith in all the superhuman force, where it becomes between all the large patient will, the great cursed criminal, the innocent and supreme Savant! - Because it arrives at the unknown; since it cultivated its heart, already rich, more than any! It arrives at the Unknown; and when, thrown into a panic, it would end up losing the intelligence of its visions....it saw them! That it crêve in its bondissement by the amazing and unnamable things from thinking: but it will come from other worldly workers; he will start at the horizons where the others have subsided!

my thoughts from you are made

 

as the brown leaf falls to shade,
and life thrusts green buds
behind its absence,
the rot and fodder of earth
sustain the growth of spring
and life renewed.

for as my body was a tree,
a bird, a butterfly,
and my thoughts from yours are made,
as yours from mine ascend,
like smoke from fire,
to reach toward heavens.

bunnie loves me!

 

zinnia

 

i remember, as a boy, my grandmother asking me to fold some mauvey-pink paper napkins for a croquet party......i opted to spend hours folding the little coctail napkins into calla lily shapes and clustering them into a giant zinnia.......grandpa's dog, rex, rolled over onto a folding leg of the samsonite card table that i was creating this project on.........it was like alice in wonderland's collapsing cards....fify flat, pink napkins lying on the grass.......the older i get, the more fragments of the past float through my consciousness.

FROM THE LAKE IN ICE

life is not the brief, self-consuming flame
that feeds and dies,
but the fuel it feeds upon
as life and death consume.

a comet may bear life, but is dead,
it is life that sees its beauty -
the beauty in life,
that is the substance.

and anger does the door not open to the Light

Momentary sparks from inner sight
Are drawn to Heaven's doors,
To burnished gates of Light,
But fall when cold.

While on the other side,
An Angel listens to this plight
And disregards its sombre tone,
To hear cantations bold.

A leaden song of Gold
Doth Petulance sing,
Its hope to rise, unknown,
To sing of breadth and height,

Yet, with fear and might,
The keeper of the Inner Flame
Doth factor in the earnest plea,
And grant another entrance light.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Mix a small pinch of water-soluble polyvalent metal salt with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble salt of alginic acid to thereby form a water-insoluble film of alginic acid salt to cleanse the outer surface of approximately 300 cocoa beans that have been freed of their tough, leathery rinds, then dry them in the sun, on sheets of llama leather......of course, you are already familiar with this technique from your studies of larousse and brillat-savarin, so i shall skip to the final stages in which melted cocoa to which a half kilo of saturated bovine utter excretion, just short of boiling, has been mixed and stirred, gently, until a glossy, mirror-like surface has evolved.

The process provides a thick, edible brown pearly mass to which an additional amount of an oleaginous substance as the core substance may be added; however, exercise judgment to restrict this amount to less than .7(cocoa weight). This mass can be provided by the method which comprises contacting liquid drops of a composition comprising an aqueous solution of a water-soluble macromolecular substance at least a portion of which is marmelo mucilage , an oleaginous substance, e.g. animal or vegetable oil, if the bovine excretion is not available, or if the product is being produced for distribution by the evil empire to it's undiscriminating subjects.

after removing the tough, leathery rind from a sufficient number of cocoa beans (approx. 300), extracting the cocoa butter from the bitter solids, water-soluble polyvalent metal salt chloride, sodium chloride with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble salt of alginic acid to thereby form a water-insoluble film of alginic acid salt on the outer surface of the beans, then wash and dry them in the sun, on leather sheets..........

well, you can see how appetizing this technique is............
