I would make it again…knowing full well what lay ahead

Sturm Und Dreck
Do you see it there?
In the sky?
Look up, and let
your heart free fly
That dull boat floating
right at your feet
Is just the mere reflection
of that airy Ship of State
And if you
just
let
go
you can board her decks
and sail away, away, forever
free from sturm und dreck
The Fog, The Earth
i think fog unwraps itself
to show what lives beneath
takes off its clothing graceful slow
removes its wispy sheath…
and naked the earth stretches out
languorous and sure
and becomes whole as I look on
my hurt heart’s ever-cure
Crushed In Switzerland
that illusion is breaking up
like ice squeezed tight and crushed
in the fists of inevitability
and spring
there is no such thing as neutral
in a world pulled tight, pulled taut
between that endless winter
cold and bleak
and ravenous in black
consuming every weak
meek heart and undefended
and the coming
time of harvest
when all things
are marked
paid in full
and the ever-day
dawns without the sun
and sings unto the moon
“olly olly oxen free!!”
But you, like the ice
must be broken up
must choose to become
either water, or air
or forever frozen
in evil’s horrid grip
You must become
crushed in Switzerland
and thus set free forever
Moon Glow Sky
in the rosy dusk
aching, beautiful, fragrant
present…fading…gone
