magic from the inside – August 10

Posted on August 11, 2014 by landl30

8.10.2014

magic from the inside

the brain a channel of one

to what then emerges

to play as it surges

the brain and the soul

on a run.

clues in the night – August 9

Posted on August 9, 2014 by landl30

8.9.2014

I wander through

basements

through cellars and dreams

the hidden there Jesus

who walks through and

seems

to drift beyond walls

to flow out of sight

while I watch there and listen

for clues in the

night.

pleasant night, moon

blessed wishes.

lawnmower – August 6

Posted on August 8, 2014 by landl30

8.6.2014

just a new spark plug

not dead, not rotted,

not needing

replacement

 

just a new spark,

fire, ignition

for older

machinery

 

still in working

condition.

MRI – August 4

Posted on August 5, 2014 by landl30

8.4.2014

rattle screeches, knocks

pings, obstructed music

panging against piano

wire magnetically

resonating endlessly.

 

silence and waiting.

doctor doctor please

tell me. no. don’t. look

hard enough and you’ll

find something.

 

what’s that. nothing.

nothing. nothing.

 

happiest words on

the planet.

hey big boy – August 4

Posted on August 5, 2014 by landl30

8.3.2014

forest glade primeval

dark, bare stream wending,

older trees down, roots

lifted out of the softened earth

by summer squalls.

 

breathe in, pause.

one barred owl calls

and a lady love replies.

 

hey big boy, I’m

over here.

 

the way it was

meant to be.

galley proofs – August 2

Posted on August 3, 2014 by landl30

8.2.2014

long day bunny works,

her words, warped,

twisted, edited

into oblivion

 

well maybe not oblivion

but it feels that way

after all the labor of

birthing

 

and then having to

let go to some

editor, romper

chopper

 

who misses the point

or has another

from what took

so long

 

to get out

onto

a page.

jalapeno poppers – August 1

Posted on August 2, 2014 by landl30

8.1.2014

jalapeno poppers smack

our taste buds into shock

kicking off an evening

with friends

 

good to have the low spot

early so that it’s all uphill

from there.

meat and cheese, PB&J – July 31

Posted on August 1, 2014 by landl30

7.31.2014

meat and cheese, PB

and J

menu of the morning

for some, of all day

 

how did we let it

get so far away

our hearts all hidden

what did they say

 

about lives gone

unwanted for work

on display. forgotten

abandoned

 

and yet not just strays

 

God’s children grown

old, mistakes on display

without us, around us

we’ve so little to say.

 

except maybe sorry

we didn’t mean you

to fall, ‘twas an unthought

through outcome

of the greed of us all.
