this afternoon added Many Musics, xxvii, Washed Clean with Ice, strange one, aren't they all, this one hits me straight on today, i think about lost sad hours and how they would return if they could, and would try to change, maybe, or just pick & pick each inevitable minute's pain forever if let to...

tonight added Many Musics, xxxi, Flat, inspired by a Cezanne painting, Cezanne is a bufuddling painter, part deep intellect, part passion for visual beauty, he transfixed Rilke, my poem is transfixed too...

tonight added Many Musics, xxxiii, Alki Beach Dusk, this poem from a really wonderful day at a local Seattle beach, journeying with KD, we watched the sunset for what seemed like high hours, watched a funny little man kick a soccer ball with some kids, sat in a hot dog shack and marveled how strange it all is...posted tonight from a strange, sweet, plain hotel in a small Oregon town, while journeying in a different manner

tonight added Many Musics, xxxiv, Roofless, came surely pouring out, i'm always growling in my mind about want, what it is, what it does, what it causes, little freedom from it, but like blood it is choiceless a part of living's skein...

this afternoon added Many Musics, xxxvi, Humility, some poems I right at length out of the long desparation of being alive and knowing little or nothing for sure, and sometimes hope and fear juggle my heart sloppily and I don't know what else to do...

This afternoon added Many Musics, xxxvii, Waste, simple blunt song, I don't know how else to oppose the King's War but in words, with music...there will be a time of reckoning for him, but waiting's a long bitch...

[judih]

how else to protest any war?
how to look at the details of what life is under war?
how else?
only to write heart open, and eyes prepared to see
vision sharing with open hearts and eyes prepared to stay open

[Mark Coburn]

culture clash on the streets
my country tis of thee
liberty a sweet thought
that needs to take root
in our own back alley............

tonight added Many Musics, xxxviii, Dash Point, KD and I past two years have gone camping here, near Seattle, and being in the woods, while these are not terribly wild, nonetheless sets me off a little...there is more to world than men and their mirror-bound kvetch--

This afternoon added Many Musics, xxxix, "Lonely Song," nothing unique in it, childhood full of blows, sometimes they come out lives later in song...
