POTPOURRI AND OTHER RANK ESOTERICA

A Walk In The Desert.

I went for a walk.
Down along the dry stream-bed.
Yes, I could sleep here.
I lie down and close my eyes.
The soon to come flood will heal.



The Night Sky Is Sweet

The strawberry moon
is covered with seed-like stars,
reflecting the night,
sticking in the Cheese-Man's teeth.
Tonight the moon is quite full.


Lonely

Where are the bereft?
Are they all alone tonight?
Do they feel adrift?
Hold them in your heart tonight.
Let's take care of each other.
