Haha, Arcadia, I'm a great admirer of Terence McKenna! Smart, funny, insightful. He felt the origins of human consciousness, never fully explained by anyone, had to do with a human-mushroom symbiosis. We ate them, they turned us on to the universe within and without.

Today added 6 x 36 Nocturnes, series five, #1-18, these are poems written as my life was shifting one space to another, I did not know.

i. for Leni, 4:30 a.m. The night gives no hint toward coming daylight, all sleeps, or cowers, or prowls. I ready in my small room to sleep, to dream of you in your many guises.

I can't come here as often as I'd like, but did I miss the book coming out? I wanted to congratulate all involved when it does

Dear Senator Murray, Since none of you in Washington are listening to anyone outside of the Beltway, take a look at the poll of your local paper there: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/04/AR2007060401230.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&sub=AR The country is angry and restless and dis...

Tonight posted 6 x 36 Nocturnes, series four, #1-18, this poems ran from spring to summer of a recent year, fading but still recent, and in part they chronicle a hopeless long distance romance, but I look at them from this year, tonight, & I see anger, I see loneliness, I see too-long unsated want, ...

6 x 36 Nocturnes [fourth series] i. Early morning amorous birds poke the wet spring air. Dogs bark toward each other for reassurance. *** ii. Blossoms etched among tree-branches & unnameable constellations— Spring like the tide's playful skirt, approaching, receding, arriving this year like every in...
