His being in love
he kept in secrecy
like sparkling jewels
beneath secret seas.
Like a Yellowstone
geyser
his feelings now sing
shooting forth from
underground springs

In the old elephant graveyard
over the ivory a covering of ivy…

countries still
provide a black market for
the tusks of murdered elephants.
Please ask the Vatican to remove
‘tower of ivory’ as an attribute of
Mary in a litany prayer http://vatican.va

For her babies
a protecting barrier
Making life for

Black seeds grow in
red skinned whitefleshed apples.
Tiny acorns yield massive
millennial oaks.
White seeds in the
tabernacle
of the pumpkins’
orange cloaks.

The vine
spins
his silent melodies
weaving
gifts
quite melony

FORGIVING SEA
When the earth
vomits volcanic fire
the sea turns the molten orange
into green glass jewels.
With mystical hearts
the forgiving
transmute to love
actions cruel.

5 POEMS
-saiom shriver-
VAMPIRE PHLEBOTOMIST
The vampire
termed himself
a phlebotomist.
Self described as
a therapist
was the lobotomist.
NO ROOM AT THE INN
No room at the inn
for those of dark skin.
What stops some…. makes
the courageous begin.
(4 star Admiral Michelle
Howard’s family could
not find a hotel on
vacation… because
of skin color)
EJECTED FROM A TRAIN
Gandhi was ejected from
a South African train
Turned to fuel was
the humiliating pain
igniting his nonviolent
campaign
ultimately ending
a colonial reign
BEHEADING OR BURNING
Who suffers more?
Someone terrified facing decapitation…..
or a family burned to death
by drone or bomb conflagration?
Does return violence create
violence’ acceleration?
BUTTERFLY MOON
The full moon emerges
clothed in seadrops
from the ocean
her cocoon..
The water has
not obscured her light.
Her butterfly wings drying
as she rises in flight.
