Fame

Sometimes this sometimes that
Soaring is Fame in chariots
Sublimity and Notoriety
With wings to caress and sting

Brilliance, eminence-fineness
Rectitude, rank-fineness
Sublimity everlasting, caressing
Glory, grandeur, repute

Fraudulant, scandal-fineness
Deceit, dishonest-fineness..
Notoriety stinging, everlsting
Discredit, shame, oblivion

Few the first way
Few the other way
For so many no hay-day
For reasons many Fame 's far away

Sadistic excess attempts to reach roughly and by harshness what art reaches by fineness.

Everybody knows there is no fineness or accuracy of suppression; if you hold down one thing, you hold down the adjoining.

But what of black women?... I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire.

Henna

Collects herself smashed with fineness
Patterning her perfume flowery..
Generous her heart of love
Goes handy shaken by his love
To flower red and brown
All in bud and blossom

At The Beach One Early Morning

i see indifferent soft sands
i feel the fineness of their being in my palm
i bury my thoughts there
my hands holding on
to what is falling out of my grasp

the waves murmur
so envious about my silence.

Stable Life

Never can a child be stable in his life,
Living is dancing for him, dances are finer.
If I return to my house one time
I mount emptiness and spirits of fineness.
The child in me is myself,
Open the doors to heaven now that you’re gone,
Fangs of glory are ever-present.

There Is No Stopping

a bud
blooms

a car
crashes

hairs grow
and fall

got wrinkles
and forgetting

watching the beautiful sunset
not with sad eyes

sitting on the sand
and feeling the fineness of the world

plunging into the sea
and holding the breath

On Fields O'er Which the Reaper's Hand Has Pass'd

On fields o'er which the reaper's hand has pass'd
Lit by the harvest moon and autumn sun,
My thoughts like stubble floating in the wind
And of such fineness as October airs,
There after harvest could I glean my life
A richer harvest reaping without toil,
And weaving gorgeous fancies at my will
In subtler webs than finest summer haze.

A Flower To Auroville Mother-95

MaraMalli(Indian Cork Tree, Tree Jasmine,
Millingtonia hortensis)

Unusual bells arching
Tolling gentle breezy
Smelling sacred invoking
Gods so aromatic and easy

Who are they? Jasmines
But of a tree Maramalli
Tall and fast in fineness
But barked corked perky

White flower petaled four
Tubular stalk paled green
Pinnae of leaflets lot more
Ever so grand and serene
