It will be okay.

this is for
green ghosts with
modest koans of movement
breath changing shape
eclipsing a future moon
thick moans on edges vast
neon gods in heavy smoke
sweet hollow scents of roots
disappearing into blackwater void
masks of blessing and flame
tickling soft round bellies
of infinite shuddering hills
as freeform tribes
on helpless lovedrunk mules
circle their own stellar
brightly feathered charm

this is for the way
you said my name
and i fell into that teacup
natural ways of
being so many shadows
beneath so many leaves
spilling over desperate
modern spells
giggling in fountains in
woods around pyramids
leaving it all behind
because i'm not going anywhere
not without a new language
not without being stoned
in some new way
an eagle
disappearing

ancestral color

i set up a hammock
someone else's hammock
didn't build the damn thing
over a fire
at the edge of spring
ancestors burning in purple oil
didn't want to say anything
just drop my seeds
and swing
swing
warm my ass molten
thread my long hair into songs
grow old with the net
woven by those who titter
in the forest i painted
in black and white
and gold
bright gold
they caught me
easy
one day i will be an ancestor
gonna make me a hammock
sit at my bench
grind primitive tension
to dust i don't know

Lucidity ov Ebert

Roger Ebert refuses further surgery if his cancer comes back. He has this to say in his journal:

I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.
