one way.



change is gonna come,

you know it, cause you fear it...

so it must be good.

osi 'rest'

plays hard till she drops
belly down on cool slate floor
dog day afternoon

osi: "rest"


No time for sabbath,
If one child cries out for food,
there is a mission

Harry Chapin, World Hunger Year


i am born today the sun burns it's promise in my eyes,
momma strikes me and i draw a breath and cry

above me a cloud slowly tumble through the sky,

i am glad to be alive...

it's seven days today, i taste the hunger and i cry

my brother and sister cling to momma's side
she squeezes her breast but has nothing to provide

someone weeps....i fall asleep


it's twenty days today, momma does not hold me anymore
i open my mouth, but i am to week to cry
above me a cloud slowly crawls across the sky

why is there nothing
left to do
but die?

Myth

The planet is flat,
Weapons of mass destruction,
All men are equal
.

freedom at a price
universe on the inside
monastery life

Doorway, osi

holding hands we go

sheding flesh to luscious light

through forever's door

_________________

And at that moment

When I can smile at you, laughing hysterically,

We,

Having shed our weighted flesh for luscious lightness...

Then,

in that eternal nowness

I will be loving you...

loving me,

As apparantly I always am...


'melody'


infinite humming
countless stars and galaxies
creator's love song


Sung into being...the cosmic shout of the creator
Forth, and back...

Out...and in...A dust spec compared to everything...and nothing.
Singing the organic universe...the life opera...
And me....just trying to remember my lines.

racing heart


in a jasmine breeze
the evening lacks just one thing
your heart racing mine

Odetta


sing it up da hurt
sing it up da savin' grace
sing till it be SUNG !

fianally arrived



depleted, shrunken

ghosted, void, and evicted
finally... just here.

melting


Everything I am
All of me there is to give
flows without reserve

Traces



weeping into sleep
she slips gently to her left
to a space he kept

slaked


explosive loving
flowing streams crash and tumble
then rest in ripples
