Windy Thursday Morning Congé Montréal



Chaotic traffic hums. 727 prepares for landing. Fingers laptop tap-dancing. The sniffle of my girlfriend. Coffee on my breath. A Crow caws. Silence except the city. The tap-dancing slows. A gust of wind chills my toes, waltzing across my arm-hairs. Tickling and itching. The morning light indirectly floods the room through the skylight. The same one that highlighted that sweet full moon last night. The laptop whirs quietly. She clears her throat. We say nothing. We just sit. I write. Her fingers tap-dance on her clavier. I watch her little finger pointing in the air, far away as if the rest of her fingers were holding a cup of tea, not tap-dancing. 'I Love You'. I say. ' I Love You Too' She says. 'I love you more.' I say. 'I love you more too.' She says.

improvising so
perfectly disturbedly
imperfecting art

all those targets hit
like precise deadly darts
tear their worlds apart

innocent people
all over this insane world
are cut from their lives

they have clothes and feet
hands to hold one another
up from falling down

indifference closing
doors on suffering and poor
humans with no choice

if i could i would
let every single one know
i cry and pray too

i would hold them close
and long as they cried their songs
of the hope they lost

now more than ever
we need to open our worlds
as much as our hearts

giving in to hate
is giving hatred a name
and an evil face

give our love and our
love will give life a chance to
flourish a life lived

You are what you are




understand then that only you can determine the thinks that you think
thoughts thither and hither in threes and threads of things thinly lined out
forever frequenting furnaces that filter the finer feathers of falsehoods 
flying through feeble failures, fermenting in furbished follies.

forget your feelings of dread

spit out the syllables and feelings of individualistic refrain

just be for a moment

without wondering why or when

worship yourself as you are

as you were made

all parts of you

will win whether you will or won't

there is no thing that is best
