Silakbo!

Silakbo!

 

I’m hurt!

I’m sad!

I’m fine, thank you!

Stop asking!

 

I’m in love!

I hate you!

I got the job!

I’m so confused!

Stop asking!

 

I’m lonely!

It hurts!

You’re my friend!

Why have you

stopped asking!

muni-muni

muni-muni

 

a word of such

slow spice, we

say it twice

(sorry, maybe

a better pun

for English)

 

wondrous,

though, to have

a word unfolded

that in the

saying is its

process

 

savor the depth

of thinking

we can go

 

muni-muni

 

we enter a bell

to dive into

an ocean of

insight and

relation

 

we go deeper in

to move further on

Observatory

Observatory

 

To the north

And maybe through

An ozone layer

 

They peer into

Convex-concave

Holes to note

 

In quiet, confident

Accented tones

Of practice

And of speech

 

Jupiter disappears

Then returns

Again to view

 

And while

Watching another

Galaxy, discoveries

Follow with small

Gasps

 

This is an age

Of receiving

Messages of

Broadcasts,

Messages of

Design—they

 

Transmit, and

Now we can look

And glimpse

Moments of

Creation

 

Circles

On a page

 

From one who

Owns the book

Kalinaw

Kalinaw

 

Onomatopoeia

 

Long-vowel

Sounds (with

Skip of an i in

Between),

 

K to begin

Consonant-

Firm,

L then

N to give

Brief space,

Ending in

W

 

Even of

Silence—simply

To look or

Use another

Sense—the

Word evokes

Feeling and

Presence

 

Believe

Words have

Power

 

They do

 

Find quiet

 

Say and enter

An utterance,

 

Door to a

Place

 

Inside

You’ll know

Gunita

Gunita

 

Remembrance

Until it might

Slip away,

 

Tripped not on

Forgetfulness

But rather

On the path to

Now

 

Then matters

Again,

 

A crystal

Record;

 

But while you

And I are here

 

Memory is

Present for the

Present

 

Even if we

Stumble over

Nostalgia

In our steps to

The sweetness of

This time

Bread and Stone

Bread and Stone

 

All that’s left

Is the heel of the

Rye bread loaf

And a small pile of

Caraway seeds

(Inside) made

When I lift

The bag

 

Bread and bitter herbs

I could be

A Celtic sin-eater

 

A job from long ago

In smaller, well-defined

Communities—and

For their sake

 

The task has left us,

While the cause

For eating and then

Running out the

One fed

Remains

 

Bitterness

Of sin—perhaps

Given the time

And hard hearts—

 

We

Should tear off

A bit of bread

To take with

Zealous spice

Tinatangi

Tinatangi

 

My love

Hello

And

How are you

 

It’s good

To see you

Upon waking

 

Shall

We have coffee

Now

With

Continental

Toast on

Which we might

 

Slather

Something

Sunshine-

Yellow

 

Breakfast

For me is

Special

When the

Toast could

Have

Some honey

On it, too

 

Well, C R.

(An alter-ego),

The

Nourishment

Of one

Before me

Now

 

Is so

Much better

Timpi

Timpi

 

Timpi

Timpani

Steady the beat

Avoid the roll

That ends with

A set of

Cymbals’ crash

 

Self-control

Must be a challenge

In the heat

Even the heat

Inside the

 

Body

Or maybe in-

Between

Two bodies

 

Maybe in some

Atoms of

Moments, we

Find control,

Once we

Release it

 

And yet

Restraint—take

A moment, take

A breath—is

Not a bad

Course, either

 

Listen

 

Watch and learn

The lessons

And the rhythms

Of life are

Coming at you

 

Some assembly

With discretion

Required

Before we

Let all run

And run away

Liftoff

Liftoff

 

Late

 

I’m driving home,

High-beams

Looking out for

Deer whom I

Might then drive

Around

 

Yellow center

Lines with white

On either side,

 

Bushes and trees

Farther off still

Line the road,

Marching back

In layers of green

 

And black that

Make up the

Horizon, too,

Which I see in

Front of me

 

Then—I hadn’t

Thought of

This—the moon

Rises in my

Direction (that is,

 

The way I’m

Going) behind

Dark verdure

Rows

 

Half-disc bright

Red-orange

Startling the

Sleepy countryside

Into becoming,

As if in an

Astral spell, a

 

Rising plain of

Backlit silhouettes

 

Sentinel at night

Ascends like

An ancient mother

Ship leaving

The quiet earth

Where it has

Hid, now taking

Its watchkeepers

Home;

 

Maybe, too,

A matriarchal

Ark as well, bearing

DNA of flora

And fauna,

Gene-tracings

 

In chromosomes

Of mitochondria

 

Lifting all toward

Freedom of

The Earth, carrying

Our errant

Molecules through

To what we say

Is outer space:

 

Passing other

Spheres of cosmic

Condensation,

 

Asteroids and

Planetoids and

More substantial

Yet nascent

 

Un-wakened

Denizens of

Rock and fire

 

Cradles for

Star-making,

Entering nebulae,

The vessel-charge

At last and

With a knowing

Satellite’s prophetic

Discretion,

 

Diffuses organic

Atoms inside

 

Entropy-laden

Stellar capacity,

Static potential

Wanting alien

Life

 

To incite and

Render systems

Viable for carbon

Habitation;

 

And so

 

Our lives together

Evolve into

The future of

World-making
