Cold and Reason

Jammin with a mate long ago, this poem is made of many smaller poems. So while alittle random it talks and sings about the cold darkness of time and age, and ends by renewing old prophecies of love.

Ode to Evolution

O what nourishment divine fractal core thread,

 what sap root sun feeding do they deserve?

 Those who skyscrape to ghost bleeding

 mitote maddness the skyfather's flesh.

 Those who watch the acid rain of

human darkmatter falling and

 piercing the earth.

Those who crack the bone dragon eggs

to still-born peace and speak unholy word

 in their bomb hearts.

Those who manipulate

to produce death products in

cycled desert cracks creeping,

searching for another

farmers suicide.

Those undead armies

of Hitler's scientists for profit.

 Those who made headless

the spirits of the forrests, now

 wondering the felled wastelands

 amidst the lost paths of the extinct.

 O those who committed sane

 the Banks of Wall St's fraud,

the trillion headed axe.

Those political frauds the billion edged bulldozer,

policy dying beneath drama, hypnotized consent

 a blasphemic core sin against the meaning of light

now imprisoned in smart TV's.

Cowards!

 Death clouds of obscene chauvinism,

 all you do is feed on our suicidal tendencies.

 All you do is kill the new gods our children

 deserve to create.

All you will ever claim in the holy name

of water's flower fruit is your own destruction.

 We will survive you.

We will survive you because we give back our umbilicus,

because our tree core is permacultured to every fellow

 spirit kin, every animal saint, every ray of the universes

 star seed in our beings eye.

 We will survive because of

 how we weep as your teachers,

forgiving but never forgetting

the witness to your own suffering

 and its exponential virus teeth marking.

O yes, you will hear us now you

the 1 percent, you the careless,

you will not bite again,

 from now on,

you will be the one to starve...

The Dark Lake

I dreamed I was dragged out to a huge dark lake via social powerlines, out with the golems of testostorne AKA the frenemies of my youth. They had invented this new game where the cities mega watt powerlines were partly stripped and hung towards the waters edge. Adrian was the genius, “a new way to fish boiz…” “fuck yeah!” “holy shiz balls man!” “idn’t that err… kinda suicide?” was my response. “Only if you let go of the fire fox too early, when you get close enough, the bolt earths in the water.”

 And so it was on.

 I watched in excited horror, in Schoedinger’s perceptual torture, how they would fly under huge bolts of lightning which would zap into the dark water. I only picked up the courage to protest when I saw the dead fish float like stars killed, their silver, their twitch, no one gathered them, booze was the only thing passing their lips. “Stop you bastards! You’re gunna kill the lake!” it was a broken shrill in the end… Surrounded in an instant, Iphones and snarls, regret was amidst the most prevalent of the distant and strange world’s things. “Awww common Jas, you just haven’t had a go yet, don be a pussy!” I could feel Sam wink.

The next part came in blinks –all the hands on my limbs, the death monkey sniggers, “remember if you jump off early you’ll be fried like your beloved sex toys…” Then the light flashing above, the realization there was no rubber tyre on the line to stop me, someone had taken it. “Now swim boi!” Frantic water and breath, a howling pack about to…

And that was the end of my dream.

I woke in a sweat. Terrifying right? The demons of my youth destroying the life of my subconscious? Luckily, I count Carlos Castenada as better than Freud where dreaming is concerned. And thus nightmares serve no purpose for me. To me, if you leave the defragging process of the mind in a mess, all you’ll ever be is a mess. So in my waking state I day dream the rest.

I was sure to be zapped, the teenage golems were beating the power lines with sticks and they zapped in their monstrous threat. I kept swimming, into the darkness… How far must I swim? I thought. A huge island of dark water rose before me in waves. I was terrified again, I had heard stories of the giant who eats children, those who swam too far. I never thought they were real. I turned back towards the shore.

Surely these boys were bluffing. Had Sam found out about me and Harmony? I mean, she doesn’t even like him! And anyway, he wouldn’t kill me over a girl now would he? I looked back over my shoulder. ‘Hey its gone, phew… what the hell was tha… " and then terror shook right through me. Something had my hoodie and I was being pulled back through the water. When I looked back again, a giants face smiled at me from the water… But that smile, it was soo familiar. So familiar that I did not fear a thing anymore. Next I’m in his hand, I’m rising high into the sky, I can hear his thoughts, we slush and stomp our way over to the screams on the shore…

Awareness Poem

This poem, written during "the dirty thirty" April prompt challenge, follows a theme; the word "stillness" verse "awareness" comparing their use-fullness. The prompt was trying to make a blade of grass exciting. And so of course, I took it in a very spiritual sense, exploring some of my experiences in meditation technique and the sensations of time and connected-ness. For with the sacred skill of this awareness, we can connect to planet consciousness. Enjoy my friends!

Dimension 35c

What to do on a sunday night? Lounge room dance session!! Yep regular part of the new me, 5-7 of these a week. 'Cause I've realized I've been neglecting one of my favorite mediums. Like, why only dance at gigs, doofs and clubs? #mythankstoterrafractyl.

The Willie Wag Tail and the Goldfish

They met

 beneath a half moon summer,

she the free fool, a Willie Wagtail,

thirsty, surprised to hear

 the large wineglass surface speak

 in a deathlike whisper;

“Please,

 eat me, O angel of light and death.”

And there was double the surprise,

 for he was an angel of light and death himself,

 a moon lit golden fish, an orb like gift…

“My human gods have abandoned me,

 why do you hesitate?”

“I do not eat angels like you,

 it would be a sin against the animals…”

And art that the only beauty?

No, they could each take no more

and swam and flew to the depths

 of their despair, each gasping their

 light to hideously defining shadow…

A world passed,

yet there was still none like that surface.

To her, the water’s voice was just like

 her own air-free-heart yet filled with

 a completed miracle…

And so she returned.

And only to an orange and still thing.

And only to her leap of a world bridge faith,

 a piercing, a kiss-full ripple of the sky breath

and dropped crushed soft abdomen

 of silver moth left over from her children.

Yes, it worked for a while,

 love began to move,

Slowly,

rising and descending.

Each day

 he glimpsed her god and gasped her in,

Gifting her sips of his waters poetry as she

perched upon the rim. And then her children,

they grew and drank the same and he gifted gladly,

 for they grew wise and bold and he laughed bubbles

 at their wise remarks.

 And love was love for a while.

 And so powerful in tides of the storms

and the sky blue wonder. And so powerful

 because it was the end of the world

 when that wonder began to win.

At last a great drought ended too late

on a crescent waning moon…

When they all fell in around him

 there was one fifth left,

there was unmeasured sipping guilt

 and their eyes half submerged

with his last metaphor escaping.

And yet there was a feeling,

like each to their own leaping,

 a world bridge,

their own

kiss-full ripple

of the sky breath

returning…

Questions from the Fire

Ok its winter, and so I've been a little obsessed with fire. Fire the great path back to the eternal now, as original inception of our dreaming. In that vein, this poem poses questions. Questions that come from how far we can remove the old paths, the old cycling, "seen it all before," that would keep us trapped in electrical boredom and devolution.

Poems note; the word "Yod" is a word in the Kabbalah that is used in the first letter of god, and it represents fire as the first spark, the initiation of anything. Further, the "shadows that Plato screams about" refers to his philosophical story of the cave of shadows, where humanity is stuck looking at shadows instead of the original forms of things that are actually pure light, i.e. what casts the illusion...
