makes our
longings kill
all is black
coal black greed
no way to choose life
when greed
brings the constant
sound of death
calling away
deliverance
64.
daybreak
night falling
into blue shadow
gray streaks
as the trickster
chases memory
repeat
tell
the same stories
until the past
is left behind
65.
my world is green
wild green
green with no limits
big bold green
growing changing
celebrates the
green in things
all green goodness
66.
fire so hot
death so dry
just ready
to let loose
fierce heat
miles and miles
of flames
climbing hills and mountains
felling trees
calling all hearts
to burn and break
hold in memory
lifelines gone
a show of hands

again and again
all fields
all old souls
autumn ending
barren broken hill
blackbirds
bring Buddha
burning body of love
burning pain
clouds dressed in gray
daybreak
earth spirit
earth works
equine whispering
fierce grief shadows me
fierce unyielding winds
fierce winter cold
fire so hot
fly high
go high up
hard rain
harsh winter wind
hear them cry
heavy heart
here and there
in the gray blue wash of dawn
lingering twilight
listen little sister
mammoth caves
migrating birds
morning dawn
mud sliding down
my world is green
night moves
no crops grow
on hallowed ground
overlooking water
pink and white oleander
red beard
renegades roam here
returning to sacred places
ritual places
small horses ride me
snow-covered earth
softly treading black bear
soil rich with lime
sometimes falling rain
stained black
stark stolen sky
star of david
straight ahead
sublime shadows of midnight
such then is beauty
sunken faces
take the
tap dancing
the glory in old barns
toward light
turtle islands everywhere
walking the long way home
when the dawn
when trees die
wilderness within
winds of fate
wingspan wide
with water
