      breathe smoke
through   blue
    sweating
   fabric of glassine people

clammy eyes

then the mountains hum
a single note

and grey fingers
          play
in the moonlight

the black and white
blurring
in the crossroad
          begging....
pulling at your death

to come
sit
       let us watch the serpent
thick
   muscular
           writhe
its way
from mud
and fill your heart with lead
weight

       time saw
a steady scrubbing
           pull the
steel
wool
over eyes

black-red face
with nothing but
despair to hold in
the scream

     it came
through an inch wide
eye
of a bitter hurricane

clotted rage
squeezed

            compressed
dropping to the hard dirt floor
and mingling with bare feet

to be exulted upon

only the moving will carry us
the soul....becomes drum
and the snake
carries the two-faced moon

through
the past
of pain....

it was survived
      and its smooth gravel
has honed
my heart

to sharpest red

from this grey stone
is squeezed
one
drop
of water

and it finds it's banks
wrinkles on a face
travels past the clenched teeth
falls off the chin

grey fingers
find the dark trees
      the mud moves
and the

cymbal
whitewashes
the mind
into stars

Hard and clean and good. Men feel things too, and sometimes there's only one way to say them.

Do you know how much you've been
missed around here?...THIS MUCH!

It's so good to SEE you again, my friend,

You never cease to amaze and impress.

Hugs, you...

You know, don't you, how delighted I am with this!

Truly a madviking, m'love.

But yanno?

"You may be Reich. I may be crazy.
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for..." (Pardon the Billy Joel paraphrase, but I truly couldn't resist. LMAO)

And now, Doctor? May we continue the session?
chuckle...
(Is it DANGEROUS to not only agree but identify so strongly with a rebel such as Reich? The paranoid witch laughs.)

Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh I love you! Now let us do the kundalini dance, bay-bay!

and shaking my head...you always know--you KNEW I'd go hunting down some brain food--

kisses and smiles--

and psssst.
