CROW TO GENIUS, LOVE THYSELF


When as I do I meet neglected Genius,
As I do everyday as I witness.
I remain as observant as finesse 

Can let me be, when I meet a Genius.

I look through their Eyes as Crow showed me How.
I bring the Starlight to Mind as I do.
I follow procedure I watch and look.
For the signs they are hearing me Now.

I Love You, Your Genius is Beautiful.
It rests in the Halo between me and You.
LEt me tell you what I can hurry now.
I ask for your Attention, Stay Careful!

Don't let it Spring without Precautions!
Consult your Heart and your Environment

TOLSTOY AND RASKOLNIKOV

The pair meet at eye's length.  One strikes a Bell.
It Clamors with the Sound of all Evil.
It Annoys My Malevolence still.
Thoughts of how Hamlet would speak to Roskol

He'd plead Mayhem without Warning and Fall
Sophia and Sonia: Now Look Girls!
As Guilt appears Handsome and it Enthralls
You are your own Masters :  he is a Thrill

I can even imitate his Discourse.
He will run from responsibility.
He will writhe with all his ANgony's angst.
He won't wrestle bears that's for me.

I killed twice when my Innocence Murdered.
Then why didn't you tell me this Before?

AFTERNOON

--Oh Afternoon,  Cualli Tonali


Presaged in Dawn as to be Awakened
Just as a word turns into a Melody
If I knew how I would do it today
and Assure you, I will grow to ripen.


I won’t wake surprised by a singing bird
what dew is to sing makes the song pure
and bird can only answer way way, plural,
being more than one source of its music


But this is just the first moment of time
what of the rest of the morning’s events?
Its hopefulness looming as though a breast
that a baby seeks out for a meal’s eye


Which back to the same, Cualli Tonali
Drink to satisfaction, the hour is Here.

FERDINAND'S LABORATORY

There stood Saussure in his Laboratory.
Teaching Linguistics as he best knew how.
Along with his Students, with their Wisdom,
Alacrity and Ceremony

For they have Traditions  they have Mercy
They know Not what to Teach yet means or May
To Instruct is to Love for all Ages
To Learn is to Know it in its stages

For Discourse is what Discourse Intends
A Message and a Messenger their Course
Look at me watching what you have Unknown
It Points me toward its Own Direction

Where Meaning Upends from a Vehicle
Drinks between two Mouths in a Syllable

FYDOR'S BERRY

There were many people in the plaza
Doing what busy people do in Russia
During the 19th Century at last
There was finality there was closure.

Or so it may have seemed based on the past
For there still was no way to measure that
But enormous history without forecast
Without a precise way to understand

Enters Fydor up to his elbows
Seeking an entrance or a portico
Into the soul of his nation and more
Reaches for Russia but captures the World.

APACHE INFINITE

 -- Grandfather Grandfather

I lived in time there were no fences
The fences came later so did the gun
It’s no longer as it used to have been
when people were free there were no fences

The fences came later so did the guns.
The wagon, the train, the corporal, the law
the church, the messiah, the rituals
but there was freedom and later fences

The border that’s there didn’t used to be
And the people could travel where they went
It’s no longer as it used to have been
when people were free when freedom was free

It will never be as it was before
but will return to itself forever.
