Xeric

i've seen lichens
of men
thriving on a dew
of available
water

desertic
some have to make do
with what is there

on some
climax
vegetation
aridity
is virtue still

Vulture

St. Thomas Aquinas thought
That vultures were lesbians
And fertilized by the wind.
If you seek the facts of life,
Papist intellectuals
Can be very misleading.

The sky is the universe of flight

If you hadn't been,
I think I could have forgotten
what I can't forget:
the sky is the universe of flight.

Live flower

Look at the sun!
He has the eyes of a living flower
it's a song, it's a story.

When your soul cries, you are like a tree without roots through the geometry of life, the stars drip on you like silver tears. Then you need more hope than ever
