nude in the forest

nude in the forest

thighs wrapped

'round bark,

sapped inside finally

by more than your bed,

not your hands but mine

traced the long limbs.

my smell is deep smell

i thought
as i circled the nubby wood

i thought of you and your forest
you as lover
you as spirit
you as all men

You mark a single tree,

i mark them all

your smell so angry

bark bristles

my smell so hungry

it needs more than marking

then,
hearing sap sounds

the tree pushed back,

other trees called into swaying

no wind moved the leaves - 

I did

my sap in their limbs now

up through their veins,

my smell on the leaves 

the leaves drank

pained with rhythm

they fluttered

dancing leaves on singing limbs,

the forest moved

as crusted bark,

scraped clean,

finally dropped to earth

stars now stars

stars now stars

ripples of the great he-she

calmed

death's illusion and sex

not stinging

stars now stars

are only singing

Necklace Song: to a former lover

Necklace Song  to a former lover

you sing about deepness and air
porous wood living without man's shame

crannied in a woman's body
you claim the forest as your own

but find new frets
new  tones
if I'm to hear your
forest strumming

listen
i become the necklace song

the knife is loosed
heads hang like shells

now sing Credo

to wearing of skulls

the ego beads of your selective mind

You have no voice and
no new song?

I lower you then
through snakeland
as you once let Eurydice fall

look not up but down to water

orfeo of ego
you mad sex of men

meet the Dark One
and the wet
clean blood

Form is Eternal - The One is the Many

Meditation at Cougar Hots Springs

I've been meditating and getting clean these days at Cougar Hot Springs . If you go early in the morning, you are likely to be one of a few, possible alone.  If nudity bothers you,  you can find a separate pool. People do wear bathing suits, but you give up the full communion of body with earth.  It's about an hour's drive from Eugene. As much as I like the earliest hour alone or with a few others, hot springs are sacred places on the earth. The more people who enter this sacred realm and experience what the earth offers, the better our chances to save such places and the sacred forests that surround them.

moon girl is laughing

she told me the hope was a ruse

some piece of toxic plastic

that wouldn't bless a tree, a person, a soul, or a star.

stay in the woods

moon girl toned

don't go to the lights

unless you go for the real fight

My Friends Were Right -Nothing Short of System Collapse Will Bring Change

They all said it was silly to "work with the system." They all said that nothing will change till the power structure really falls down. They said things won't get better if the system stays on. The earth would die just like people around it are dying. Taking a look at this joke of a health care reform I realize that they were right.


They said that only a collapse of the system will bring change for the good. The system is starting to collapse. Let it come down.
The real enemies are the liberals in the power structure. Bring it down. Blow it down. Write it down. Throw mud at its arrogance.

Deforestation of Amazon Rain Forest at New High

The deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest in June was four times worse than the month before. What will it take to end this self-destruction? I guess nothing, really. We're beyond the tipping point. But one can still monitor the criminals.
