Together we ascend
the pyramid of desire
to offer our love
in that holy fire.

I Am Who I Am

I am who I am
and I am what I am.
The seed of life,
and all lives,
is in me.
Through wind and storm and rain,
I shall remain.

My Nakedness - II

Like the strength in Samson's hair,
my power is from my nakedness.

THE GIFT

You must find
your inspiration.
Go to her,
if need be,
in a dream.
Acknowledge
her leadership.
Ask that
the precious,
though invisible,
gift
be passed
to you.
Don't be afraid,
hold out
your hand.

If I Could Speak to Africa

If I could speak to Africa,
in a language all their own,
I'd tell them to use
the "holy books"
for fuel
and treat each other
as holy
instead.

SUNNING TO VALPARAISO

Wearing only hat
and sunglasses,
ma-te in hand, I sit
on a chair on our
starboard-side balcony,
facing the sun.
As we head for our
port of destination,
Valparaiso, the surface
of the dark Pacific
is shimmering,
molten silver.
