Take Dictation from the Universe

Take dictation from the universe


The citrus sun beams

Dazzling through leaves


The sharp urgency of having to go pee

A bird’s neon trill expressing

The entire universe in its electric spasm


The world speaks to me

Not of a quiet unassuming peace

But of a peace totally off the rails


A great firehose of content

Swirling inward

A light bright composite of infinite units without boundary


The dry choke of sour

The winsome delight of going away for ever

Pretending to be here and gone, here and gone, here and gone

Echoing through the midnight canyon


I love you

I love you


I love the ground upon which you tread

The canvas upon which you paint

The undeniable being of your being


“My lands” says my mother-in-law


“My lands” she says.  And she means it.  And I know what she means.


All of us dying in an instant. 

   A hiccup and we are free together forever.
