Poetry/1: unnamed

Baby baby cry hot tears
remember, abandon hard long nights
chasing love, pain and ghoulish fears
cool dawn dew on green grass blades
giggle running - squishy brown mud
cool cool soft splatters
on light-hearted legs prancing dancing
to sweet canorous coodle doodles of life
death and dying, bills and adult frills
sail like ships far away to even farther away lands
and hands, young hands
young bright eyes-- eyes wide blinking
thinking, noticing boys- dejecting dolls, toys
grow up like sunflowers- leaves, trees
yellow can you see yellow
seeds can you taste salty seeds
sunflower power, smiling sun earth girl
grows, earth child alongside her Mother Earth
choking, resolving, adjusting, deciding
pathways and park days over highways and parkways
simple sustenance, reds, oranges, yellows, greens
vibrancy, she rises, colorful, courageous
ebullient, exuberant
searching life for extant energy
energy that summons the tide forth
energy that stares the tide away
inviting a dry day sandy shore
desert sand, jungle land, arctic ice, southern spice
take a turn through time
searching for the hiccup in time when dignity dropped
common humanity hit the fan
shredding into a million pieces, streaming ribbons
propelled by inside, suffocating, suppressing, oppressing air
suddenly I see the ships of death and dying
of fear, war and lying
reaming, ramming towards yellow seed sunflowers
Mother Earths baby trees trampled by mustached masked men
with greed and vain-glory gobbling about
green grass turns burnt brown and squishy mud
dries, cracks like hearts frozen and broken
melting maybe, sometimes--de vez en cuando mamasita, querida
baby baby go on and cry
for the world wreckage and hateful patronage
perhaps pushing people apart so--
hope, like dawn, renewing, re-uniting soul and self
hope so sweet, daring hope in healing tears
over parched, cracked ground-- softening soil
roots, it's okay, you can take hold here
ships still sail
all those tears transform fresh water
to salty waters-- un-imbibe-able
salty seas for solidarity ships
welcoming winds of change, peace, cool
steering and leading rudders to lands
of yellow seed sunflowers, soft soil
Mother Earth and Grandmother Moon
Sister Love and Brother Peace
life, imperfect yet exuberant
one step in the mud- splatters, still
voice speak, tear feel, life live
verbs action, be become come into being
evolve, respire, inspire, desire and fire
fire of life, love, loss, ships and sails
tears and trails, trials and tears
go on baby cry, cry the long nights
hot tears, of fears, illuminating lyres
coodle clear chorus cheers
dab dismal doodle dears
all--- all of those years.
