Welcome. This dedication starts with a woman I emailed a few times and talked to once. Many of us love natural herbs, especially those with beneficial medicinal potencies. Her favorite is the simple dandelion (taraxacum officinale) with leaves and flower tops eaten as a Spring tonic herb for salads. For those dandelion roots or foxgloves, let's feel with our hearts. Careful, herbalists advise staying away from the poisons of foxglove (digitalis purpurea). Foxglove is one of the first medically recognized plants. A synthesis from digitalis (second year leaves work best), is an inexpensive pharmaceutical, used as a cardiac respirator.
To my foxglove: let me stroke potent leaves and like a bee, or sly fox, enter your bell-shaped gloves. Pollen rings transmit heartbeat joy, jousting for inspired breathes. In addition to the beauty of women (especially nursing women) this is dedicated to my herbal studies. Whether plants, minerals, animals, humans, water or light, creation inspires. Let peace and energy motivate our seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, centuries and ultimately a millennium of feasts. Enjoy Nurses Orders.
Drip drip
drips drip drippings
what flows do we desire today
nightingales on each branch of our year
roots from centuries
millenniums to uplift each galactic dish
potential celestial cells
in a petri for perspectives
microscopic gazes
too much lazy haze
to gulp
milky way water for an antibody
that spiritual spirit
shot firmly like semen
then with full breasts
chromosome genetic codes
a murky white for harmonic mazes
in dazed blazed caves
dots to connect graphite
erase mistakes
share knowledge
smile and wink
we all get to try again
uplift carbon flames
sculpt milkweed hope
tie shoestrings of loneliness
walk forward or backwards
ballerina vertex
then turn cauliflowers upside down
plant these vegetable flowers in the ground
remove protective shoes
with parasite insecticides
bugging bugs with an exorcist
to unroll a holy prayer rug
like magic carpet rides
snap clap abracadabra
locate a flattened space
see-saw pulleys for friends
to massage overworked soles
lines and circles
cornerstones to deflect and protect
clip toenails with a purplish sheen
ultraviolet mirrors with infrared warmth
a day never missed
traveling through travesties
growth from some directive
peeking into weeks of weakness
opportunities to rip pages
crumble temporal yawns
spread into silken sheets
weave artistic holographs
traced through hallowed hollowed halls
writings on pyramid walls
mysterious hieroglyphics
watchtowers climbed
an apex observed in falcon eyes
to affirm each point
serious endeavors mapped
started with window stares to Sirius
driving dives straight up
savoring each spiraled arch
balances for helix twists
blended from spines of relationship
motivational leaps
across an unknown abyss
never to miss second looks
embodied for pyres to search
connect messed up mesh
invisible veils of death
each voyager desperate to reach a stair
a tightrope of new sensations
tips for tongues to taste
as fluids mix bubbles
clues for cloud melts
culminations for cumulonimbus pillows
coping with potential troubles
just to share personalities and priorities
purposes for collecting temporal possessions
making physicality as bit easier
as God bestows all blessing
a covenant for each and every individual
weather for celibacy or celebrations
igniting magnesium flares to bend
a parachute free fall
meteorites to mend then remind
of iron footholds used to scan mental cliffs
protect mercury with lead
heaviness to stabilize tabernacles
peel past orbital tears
remove night rinds from mourning stars
wobbling each Venus wish
tested tried dried refinement
discovering treasures from X-rays
to penetrate veins in mountains
unravel secret caves
hiding places for each seeker
ahead of their eon
as people blindfold their eyes again
and count down each evening
with ideals of trust faith and success
to pry past lashes
while puberty struggles to exercise scriptural tendons
smell search then touch warm flesh
combinations of desirable chemistry
to romanticize energized slides
matchsticks for candlelit dinners
resonance from naive waves
silently revealing oceans
opened messages in wine bottles
letters tossed around
wondering if we can find
prince and princess tales
ponds where tadpoles wiggle
frog embryos that multiply hop to hop
legs for dates
fast food or gourmet
either way
additional cavities
a sweet tooth
to replace red lipstick kisses
turn on hot or cold taps
more fluorine please
fluorescence to restore belief
where everybody looks beautiful
dance clubs for dawn
strobes and sirens
psychedelic flashbacks
ignition for rainbow scintillation
pots for coalition gold or platinum impressions
left as pocket change
nickel for nickel
five and five fingertips
another dime
with zinc pennies to throw away
or save for wishing wells
as everyone shares pails
internalized tolls
pale faces for gothic bell pendulums
black smear studs smacked
into an anorectic self perception
a splashed hunt for corner tears
forsaking fat landscapes
sugar cane stellar storehouses
park benches for contemplating lye
oaks and daffodils
tulips showing stamen
pollen for allergies
to reveal who attacks themselves
bee stings for hands stuck in honey jars
come on
remove the pin
pop your balloon of complacency
even lions cry
when needles get stuck in paws
so purr with pure meows
me have an ouchy
we need an owl
help us with our single daisy choice
painstaking decisions
weekends to mix and dally melodies
roly-poly anticipation
willy-nilly knots
always about love
a love me not today
yet room for tomorrows
maybe a friendship first
a kiss under lunar approvals
rated for a blue ribbon
yet inpatient ants in pants
to give first place to any place
just to hold fists inside
forsake rape
possibly able to suspend the world
just for that orgasm
an atlas want-to-be
pumped with steroids
but when reality pushes and shoves
you must find a seat
doused with a dose
from a clown hat
a Halloween scare
crows creeping into your field
you're not as great as you thought
just a starved student
in an actor's guild
where entertainment requires grades
generational courts to pass or fail
class act suits
valleys with weeds and wildflowers
or maybe a hand for a hand
a stroll along city streets
avenues with towering windows
to compare notes of how we look together
if we can comb through wind
straighten curls in hairs of failure
bypass frowns from a mime
techno chimes in backgrounds
a mix from the famous
to a bottomless pit
a bleeding ripe mango
a rotted pear
sealing proliferations of divorce
infants and orphans
wondering of daddy
yet like a statue of liberty
hand up high
torches under fingernails
wanting answers to every question
thumb and index together
meditations contemplating inhalations
sustainable comfort from inadequacies
lullabies of lacquered drudgeries
yeast for a slow route
please preserve us from germs
allow ethanol to survive
press grapes
stain ankles
wear anklets to hide tread marks
maybe born from baby blue crack
vermillion swelling from heroin tracks
which jazz musicians survived
as others died
or unburied buds
fresh hemp picked from hops
until an alcoholic burst
wiped away sobs
because you finally broke down
unable to maintain finales
altering overtures
preambles or prefaces
either way you tried
to release yourself from personalized lies
exhalations hailed as exclamations
shelter from golf ball sized hail
or maybe straight jackets of scientology
a hitler-like rage fictionalized
to pump egos up a demented slope
punctuated periods
prepared to learn
as pupils stare into journals
checking various charts
oil sticks in automobiles
glycerin functionality for window wipers
with super food vitamin pills
in shape tuned toned
happy to span each coast
from a new Amsterdam
to a city with too few angels
yet with enough vibrancy
to be business orientated
progressively creative
with glimmers from leftovers
sequin shirts for sodium lamps
tungsten filaments for fashion
always with enough room
to share moons of compassion
satellite steps
celebrating plasma with the masses
television cheers
cinema themes
near and dear to vacationers
flags and imprints
from an astronaut's history
aeronautical ideals
to savor ceilings of accomplish
unique autobiographies on wide screens
with bars fast cars crème de mint
but what about absinthe
or underground sulfur for pyrite discoveries
hot tubs or mineral rubs
a thread of arsenic
there's no lithium traitors here
just rubidium strontium
geochronologist strides
struggling to figure out fossilized figurines
fissures cropping up from tectonics
trading lungs for earth quakes
waking up with alka seltzer rhymes
sage for Indian incense
bison bongos to chant
evoke ancestral masks
orbital mines
to bless this circular kiva
with an equinox crab vortex
claws to grab a solstice
saliva prayers
salt for sea watered eyes
supernovas to shine
directed through canyons
for a flash camera climax
imprint bromine
then grind saffron with eastern rice
mud patties sprout
to turn around lotus sounds
dragonflies soaring
through cattails or calamus roots
papyrus scribes with blue lilies
new kingdoms
memoirs of atlantis rising
sunk into a greek dramas
acted out by obese geeks
divine drinks from gutters
an endless glaze for Dionysus orgies
a renaissance reformation
rye mold ergot
fungal vines finding brides
surprises from mushroom wonderlands
a squished tomato perch
blood look-alikes
morning glory bouquets
dandelion roots tossed as salad leaves
lemon balm or hyssops
some catnip for relaxation
heal insomnia
with california poppies
then with fresh coca and coffee
gifts from our southern neighbors
whispering to western claim jumpers
can you get us to andromeda
for we transported ourselves on reeds
from chinese tombstone warriors
setup hula-hoops where victors lose their head
after bickering from insane feuds
vendettas fleshing out prized pools
to sacrifice willing virgins
instead of forcing women into gray veils
or chastity cups of mistrust
beltways for belligerent politicians
wallet filled greed
forcing us into vegetarian diets
to replace gluttonous meats
with soybean wheat grass deliveries
lactose intolerant infants
some sulfuric acid to cleanse rust
then hydrochloric digestion for protein
to churn glee or ghee
let's worship alchemically
suckle soma ambrosia
internet sleeves in a web
to study for examinations
recline rock remove socks
put on slippers
say this has been
an intense 24 hours
emails and mobile phone calls
bowling alleys from last week
strike outs and spares
to dare another birthday cake candle
grow frosting from winter bread
cloak in synthesize furs
alligator leather hoarding preparations of spring
an easter egg quest for families
then again
what of our constellation expeditions
interrupting interpretive plans
just for possible capillary caps
that unexpected route
to bypass planetary traps
awake us from Pluto's naps
feather wax dreams
nurse nutrients with gleam
prepare cheeks and forehead
with coconut cream
or freshen with tea tree oil
take sleeping beauty's comfort
to alleviate pain
leave for caskets
encircled by protective dwarfs
elves in this script
with crosses to carry
before sin and sacrifice hit wastebaskets
or those priceless thorns crown
healed with raindrop roses
jealousies to polish sapphire aches
battled retributions in every war
winding CO2 grandfather clocks
proving instabilities with a cesium technology
rating rustic autumn leaves
that float as hibernated boats
along crystalline streams
consciousness on a silicon beach
key board shores
brave tides to propel
hellos to revitalize piezoelectric thoughts
psychic breakthroughs
weaving optic fibers into sprawled spectral waves
widening each river
to realize humanity's genius
donned with limestone bones
songs from naked dolphins
a seagull stretch into sunsets
above coral caverns
phytoplankton patterns
newborn diadem deliveries
screaming for first breaths
then on to oxidized speedways
turns for steering wheels
motors to ease sweat sprees
whether coal laborers
or asbestos installers
heal our illusions
with beads of blood from each pore
splashed as calcium Mandelas
mary with potassium pumps to rethink
power from a lingam's womb
ova to bridge phosphorus cycles
a two to a three
five lines as six
six and six for 12 tribes
Israel's wish for angles
to reconcile a crucifix
plow fields for proper brides
porridge sold in disguise
heritage for a first born
fecundity freely giving mustard seeds
through shared needles
or horseradish rubies for chariot sauce
learn burn and let eyes water
as obsidian smolders
to solder aluminum cans
pop equality to
light us up
pass around joints
joint heirs in communes
long haired utopias hitting the knees for humility
how many hippies took LSD
for back porch spirituality
gopher holes to steal and store grains
shovel rocks
watch sand clocks
burrow through gravel
cut granite on beryllium rafts
then practically suffocate
investing in emeralds
to investigate aquamarine navigation
borrowing the 2 by 2 flood
to smooth temporal extensions
an ark deck
sanctuaries to release doves
find an olive bud
oracles for the hear and now
digging through mire
seeking marble sculptures for a step up
classify masterpieces
rectify a mona lisa grin
sin to graft heavenly barks
baked barges
canal channels
admiring how respiration works
to smell beyond artificial preservatives
prophets and artists to culminate chosen ATP procreations
babies married with door knob keys
spherical securities for sex and virgin births
supposed mirth between sanctified nuns and priests
as scepters pierce snake coils
flesh for medicine
tantalizing tastes of life and death
spilled into inspirational seas
meals for gills
tables with names and numbers
implied invitations to comply with third eyes
focused on a peace feast
roots trunks and fruit for parties
bathed in light
volcanoes for radioactive glows
sealed from uranium plights
mineralized thrones for argon dating
a perfect eighteen
nine and nine for a ten
but what about pornography
for those that can't get satisfaction
the 69 for adults or child abusers
jail bait bail
forgotten in the tar of ripened scars
fused temptations for our hydrogen moments
a proton and electron for neutral perspectives
nullified phases for neutrons
gamma rays that never faze
just fade in brains
existential sparks reverting to nihilism
hedonism to keep the come of coronal mass ejections
let those at poles get scavenged treats
meet beasts and eskimos
igloos to withstand cold shoulders
frostbit adjustments for the frays of forgery
locating heat in daytime nights and nighttime days
all while we embellish words
hey who cares about archaic morality anyway
hot bodies generate flames
low rider pants reveal cracks
strapless skirts
half gowns for models to parade
as billboards and media acquiesce
to slits or see through fabrics
inventions for more hydro links
here we go
seeking to magnetize chemistries again
antagonize those right wingers
obstinate oppressors of homosexuals
foul mouths and rap's where's it at
then again
what about nuclear bombs
fear coupled with utter destruction
letting us think about zones of ozone
bills pills and shots of quick fixes
rarely worrying about missed atoms
invisible seams for adam and eves
binding contracts
legal paperwork officiating
keeping attorneys busy
fizz for spite and hate
kids stuck with videos
fictional wizards
plenty of apprentices
modern day tarot cards
poker like deception
with who can conquer who
to propagate vampire-like suction cups
fangs saturating minds
with bitter dendrites
chess with neurons
tickles to trick winners into losing
with twinkling trickled trump cards
fools harassed into fantasizing
all to separate quality from quantity
fractional distillations
dross with bosses
nerve tissue stress
derivatives with options
as calculus pretends to discover infinity
smashing electron elections
in cloudy chambers smeared with filth
gears draining power from firefly fidelity
standard model mockery
flights of ego fancy
competition for writing articles of faith
prized super strings or black hole horizons
abusing statistics to convince us
with manipulative curves
accuracy for inaccuracies
actuaries toying with our insurance policies
to feed us marketable dishes
profitable stocks full of excrement
painted with pink neon
designer toilet seats
or manholes over sewers
all because we're deaf
can't hear photon music
cosmic messages
unpacked as flying saucers
wacky lights to captivate
capture our attention
expand sonar beliefs with oscar movies
a gilded mold for chimney mantles
fences for a mainstream
instead of foreseeing divine communications
as simple as circulating C14
or love fiestas feeding green
specialized blossoms
chlorophyll cells to uplift
find helium for delight
super conductive liquidity
allowing us to levitate
release steam
train racks to pass industrial labors
shared energy for free
impressive napkins from trees
wiped clean with telepathy
the same way birds teach
about transporting seeds
folded for condensations
molding a molten lava breeze
to forge stainless reflections
gauge temperatures
with quicksilver deeds
buried under moving dunes
deserts to test disciples
discover oasis communion
hand out knifes for each fork
to target choices
arrow challenges for gravitational apples
to teach speeches about relativity
light speed stirred with natural herbs
spoons to sip with
swallow animals whole
platters with heartbeat solutions
giving innocence back
as undressed cures
that let children play doctor
breed immunities
with impeccable integrity
cage knowledge within ribs
weave tops and bottoms of sarcophagus
again multiplying too by twos
slips and slides for algebra
granting partners an ability
to learn exponentially
as they count stars together
then knock heads
quivers for dating games
journeys to locate soul mates
in awkward frames
to foretell foreplay
fourth base home run happiness
with freedom to laugh
at how bad we've been
haystacks of defensiveness relieved
lessons about being unattached
you and me interdependentness
uniqueness only a reincarnated sign
saying we are everybody
you kill another
you kill a part of the Self
a grand parade of days
saving a few balloons
doped boron holes
maybe for marbles
or to roll specialized dice
yet which elect will we select
when gambling with materialistic lifetimes
only to defend autistic elementary schools
when universities of a universe endure
where sevens can splice spiced thunderbolts
synthesize nitrogen
from diamond aspirations
restful thursday saturday or sunday groundwork
hours to enjoy each branch and seed
nectars of responsibility
tapping growth from annual rings
sap to wed wisdom
even if belated
to bestow endless treasure
bringing miracles for continued creation
sorry but this never ends
just bends and bends and bends
into relative peaks
recycling leaves for ratios
attracting us again and again
so picture bliss
never miss a moment
seize opportunities like livers
bathe in your brilliance
give away gifts
presents to realize what you find
this is an answer
sponges and towels for a hundred percent
forget about krypton regrets
you own a proposition
prostrations to actualize human potentials
our donations to outweigh seasonal skirmishes
a place for digital balancing beams
measuring how you sleep
where you go to wake up
as unspoken awareness arrives so gently
as easy as realizing destiny
to affirm every curve in reality
an iodine kelp necklace
mermaid gowns grown in galloping seas
neptune's pearl prayer beads
opened up as calms
a sophisticated uranus clarity
temporarily reversing our geomagnetism
copper coils to circulate feelings
zirconium to test you and me with its 40
then temporarily reside in bismuth heaviness
natural transmutations for our great earth family
offering each other paradise
transforming tin shelters for the real tithes of ten
soldiers searching for human prodigies
warrior headdresses collecting pyramid food on each table
this is when and where we think
about has been's and what will be best
as we waywardly utilize tools
preparing ingredients for our feast
a supreme celebration
experienced across our cosmos
nursed with delicate commands
to be the most we can be.
