May you all arise this morning!

[Doreen Peri]

“May You All Arise This Morning”
Ran across a tiny kush
petite round pungent so damn lush
Dylan’s freewheeling’ a yesterday feeling’
Doin’ ok now for a minute
Sickening war, luck I ain’t in it
Missin’ pilot they claimed they’ve found
never the truth, not sure it’s sound
Lord I’m alone at 72
scared ‘bout war, how about you?
Tomorrow I might be resurrected
just stopping by uncorrected
Don’t worry don’t fuss
twas just a tiny old bud of kush

(Happy Easter!
Rise up and breathe!
Good morning!)

86 and waiting around for the big bang or a wimper
like your poem a lot
wishing you
a gut yomtif baby sister

[Doreen Peri]

Good Yontif! My sweet Jack!
Oh how I’ve missed you.
It’s not a lie it’s the exact truth.
How are ya, hon? Nothing could be simpler,
a big bang explosion then a sighing whimper.
86? Kick ‘em all out, the damn grifts!
Good yontif! I’ve missed you! No what if
about that.

Mornin' Doreen,
Howdy, Jack!

cold & gray up here in New England
but only outside -
warm & sunny in here
doin' ok at 76
full belly, hot coffee on tap
exploring some new music I just "discovered"
(Kaija Saariaho, Finnish avant-garde composer)
good stuff
done with my taxes, just gotta file 'em
bumped into a neighbor out in the woods yesterday
chatted about Great Hikes We've Taken...
had a wee crush on her since I've known her -
and her dog likes me...
I wish you both
(and anyone else reading this)
peace & inner joy
don't let the world rob you of that

Greetings Studio Eighters
there is an Easter Storm
blowing across my cherry tree
and the Bradford Pear is shedding
like a Labrador Retriever if she were white
At 77 I still awake each morning thus far
and look forward to my rituals....more so
than ever before I treasure that ability
to plug into a new day despite the additional
disfunctions of certain limbs and this old head
of mine, but we work together as a team
and fool the invisible man behind the invisible curtain
who many days seems to enjoy fucking with me
just for the fun of it.....but hey, I always love
a challenge and today is no different...I'm here !
peace love and understanding to all of you resisting

hello to all
how did I get to 74?
my teenage years
were just a minute before
spring has come
to cheer my aging heart
along with septic problems
not a good start
at least the sunny days
make the digging easier
time to rise up
out of the winter
and the world muck
rise up
