lighter load

lighter load


The young guy leaning against a building asked me " Do you want to hear a human allegory?"
his brown eyes/ water too deep to measure
his hands held scribbled notes on tablet
I do a double take
"Well, sure"
he says " If I smile at you, you smile back"
& I do to his
" If I sneer at you, he/she wants you to smile back"
“If you smile at a sneer you won't have to carry anything away"
lighter load

Overheard/underwater

"I was just thinking of Paris too"
"It is like telepathic waves"
a metro tunnel under the Atlantic, no Stations before the other side.

Mirabai painting
It’s somewhere very busy—
the trainset of this mind—
where i’m a well-fed baby
            ‘round all the toys to find—

and hopping off the seasaw—
            and scrambling up the slide—
or melting heads from G. I. Joes
            (where fire ants abide)—

a plastic zoo beneath the sand—
            a space ship—in the sky—
beneath the porch—the tender thing
            that grows out from my eyes—

until i’m somewhere suddenly
            i wasn’t where before—
this is—you see—the way it goes—
            through door in door to door.

It’s somewhere strange and busy—
            in somewhere moreso still.
The whorls would make me dizzy—
            if i remembered to be ill—

but on from on these plays i go—
            rebounding rhyming whims—
glancing reflection in these words—
            vowing—i am not him.

IMUNURI Prompt: Snippet


IMUNURI Alchemy Dazzles at Two Portland Shows

First: IMUNURI Poets Scooter, Daniel, J and TK will stir it up at two interactive poetry confabs in Portland in two weeks.

Please help us spread the word to folks in the Portland Area who would enjoy a great night of readings, music, collaborative poetry making, open sharing and more. Shows take place:
Saturday, August 11, 6-8 pm Bipartisan Cafe 7901 SE Stark
Sunday, August 12, 7-9 pm Tabor Space 5441 SE Belmont
$5-10 suggested donation. No one turned away.



Now, for this week's prompt, take a snippet.
Overhear something at a bus stop, in the office, around the block. Grab a bit of a conversation from the playground, the line at the DMV, the elevator or the supermarket. Steal some words that weren't intended for your attention. Repeat them to yourself so you don't forget them before you get a chance to write them down. Consider carrying a scrap of paper and a stumpy pencil with you this week so you can be ready.

ALTERNATELY, don't leave your snippet to chance. Ask somebody for a sentence, a phrase, part of a story, an idea or an inspiration.

What amazing tale does that airy, momentary comment indicate? If you asked for details, for clarification, elucidation, evidence, what might you uncover? What can you invent around the snippet? Use it as inspiration to write. Be unexpected. Be interested. Be unmistakable.

labels: snippet, your name, poem

my brain a compost pile steaming


my brain a compost pile steaming
needs another layer of leaf mulch 
to stop the stink to sink to depth to reconnect
nerves are worms, moving and making
new dirt (thought) out of shit (shit)

my brain a loamy heap steaming
churns yesterday's detritus into tomorrow's flowers
grey matter brown matter gooey stew
there is nothing left out, no castoffs, no away
no escape

i settle into the underground tramways
the neural-vermal chutes and slithers
until still as a morning settling into itself
i come clear, whole, 
ready to nurture seedlings and sprouts  
these new/ancient thoughts
recursive in their curvilinear clarity
weaving themselves into braided leaves
bright blossom then heaving back to muck
then sliming again into smooth soft dirt

[cycles are interposing interweaving simultaneously chanted incanted shimmied and shaking]

cycle 1:

reflection:
Since we are part of the explosion of all-matter into the enormous enhugening universe which is scale upon scale of shimmering creating massive explosioning sparkling starshining creativity, it’s no wonder we’re drawn to glitter rainbow plumage and starshine. It’s how Einstein, eye shadow, Cinderella, Liberace, KISS, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” Rilke, bridesmaids, Cher, dew-drenched webs and roses, disco balls, and the Milky Way (along with you and i) all celebrate the bigbang.

Liberace’s Libertine Libretto


































 

Wednesday, July 25, 2012



up in my mind’s tree house

I had to do some serious pruning
up in the branches of my brain
with roots too shallow
stunted growth my ruining
one of those new arrivals


only reason for our survivals
lucky stars deign
to slow our demise
salve our barks with aloe
allow one more sun to rise
up in my mind’s tree house
learning not to tell lies

Prompt: Liberace Poem

Get on your flamenco, your rhinestones, your swag. Liberate your inner Liberace...

In the heat of summer, during the party days of sunshine, go wild and write festooned with glitter, sparkle, and shine. Night fever? Go for it.

 What is wild in you, that wants to dance and croon? Write from that place.

 ...or...

 Smile for five minutes without stopping, then write.

 ...or...

Disco dance for 10 minutes (glitter globe optional but good), then write a poem.

Praise, exhort, cavort! Write from your inner flame, and welcome to the auspicious circle of flowing frolicking creativity....

Tagwords: liberace, poem, [poet's moniker]

"Girl Child" ~ streaming


shy one at her open window

with belly hardware stripped

framed by a canvas of morning light

her wakeful time to black out 

beneath the growl of her presence

a silhouette in her periphery

beneath a wish to crush

under what hides behind

her mother's costumed glances

her chosen fabric

the thinly spun sheen

of soft cream reverie

Moisture Burns Off



A heaviness on waking
burns off like dew
moisture of the morning
dream trails left by some
unsuspecting wish to be
or to love or have love
only forgetting no possession
brings such things
no accomplishment
weighs in as favor
making any wish true



There is something here
at work       abiding
more brilliant even
than the sun
for it shines always
and looking beyond
the eyes yes yes yes
yeses reveal what is
eyes possibly of heart
beyond breath even
You are what is


Neither moist nor arid
distressed or elated
lost or remembered
virtuous or awry
engaged or foot-dragging
each and all of these
burn off in the sun
of their own making
like the dew
of this morning
a morning of night

What is
has
no
equal
force
= or ≠
cannot
be measured
and left
whole
simultaneously

Instead unfold within
ourselves resplendent
beyond the fascination
with things that break
only to be
rebuilt oncemore
trimming satisfaction
from something
that can only
be diminished
by its very nature

IMUNURI Prompt: The interior of Thought

"A Thought went up my mind today —
That I have had before —
But did not finish — some way back —
I could not fix the Year —"


Emily Dickinson begins that way to talk about the inner landscape of her mind. The poem, which goes on for another two stanzas, seems mainly to describe a subtle, surprising sensation of an unknown but strangely familiar sequence of synapse firings. The entire poem is internal, mental, emotional. It includes no description or narration of any external stimulus offered as trigger or result.

So while we're inside Emily's mind, we look around and notice an interesting thing: her mind has an "up." The word flits by so quickly, one might miss it looking for an explanation as to what the "Thought" comprises. But the poem never offers specifics about that. Instead, the upness of the mind catches the attention. It is intriguing, definite and curious.

What does your internal landscape look like? What is inside your emotional/intellectual body? 

This week, go in with your camera of words and take some snapshots that show what it's like in the space where your thoughts appear, move, vanish, and recur.

The play of fragmentation

In Mother Teresa's prayer
She asks her Jesus for deliverance
From the desire to be loved, extolled
From the fear of being slandered or forgotten

Remember the stories of how she moved
Like a blue flame
Through the streets of Calcutta
The glowing embers of love's disciples at her feet
Carrying the virus
The doubt that had infected her courage

Collecting lost, broken pieces of the Christ
The dusty mass
The frame of a being
Gathering this one into her freedom
Into her care

The holding preceded by a recognition
The one who is the long lost friend
The one who she could have mothered
The one who could have mothered her

At a still point in time
The entire family is seen in the dying woman's face
A clanless, tribeless whole
Abiding in the ordinary divinity of the heart
Freed from the trap
Of love needing love's proof

my sister root

my sister root
calls to me
across vibrant
interliminal
space
electrons wide
reverberant
timeless

together we slide into the rich soil
who cares if it's been months or years
we are always growing together still
intertwining
wefting (weave, from old english wefan, Germanic)*
thrown across, twisting sinuous
whole

when we talk
however long the distance
we discover how deeply we've
continued along, flopping and sloping
across each other's life chords,
nurturing,
mycorrhizal,
the root-weave-mesh
a kind of harp plucking
hum
in gaian dirt
helping the sister root drink

Thunderstorms, sky-grace-flowers


In the spring when the tide of renewal flows over me, I feel re-embedded in wholeness. The sweet spirit of being-filled-from-within by sky-grace-flowers
cleanses the drive from me. I have laid down the calendar book, which was a metronome over a cliff.

Tonight thunderstorms loom and the sky greens in spring heat. I hope for the fire that is brighter even than magnolia blossoms, something to mark the path to stars and planets. A jagged walkway, sudden, liminal, luminal, stark. Instead of parking, we wander in the city thrum twilight. Even though there are no storms tonight, the promise of illumination keeps me moving, hoping, breathing.



April 2012

by hand by measure by hour we are asked to choose how much to see of the world


Window blinds … well named. We stay in a place where the blinds are embedded in the windows, a fierce protection against the fierce light. Every one of the blinds must be hand turned in one little corner to open, a dial to open the lids to the sky.

Is there anything else I need to figure out? Is there anything else that’s needed as the thin weak fire morning sun comes through the tops of windows long lidded – by hand by measure by hour we are asked to choose how much to see of the world.

Mostly, I choose to cocoon. It could be a prison house, how strange it is to be kept from the friluftsliv (free-air-life). I shut out the smoke from the fire, and also the butte and mountains. I shut out the birds, the spreading oak. It takes so much energy to run through the home, every window, and open the sky, or pull down the air.

Conferences: I come to beautiful places then engage in strange rituals of sitting, hour on hour, in rooms without windows. In one, only the top corner of the room reveals the friluftsliv-freeairlife. Released from eight in thirteen days of full-day room-being,

Is it an affront to the windowless body to get up and dance for a minute, then immediately sit back and have people talk for hours in room tombs?

Hive-ku

Honies:
when you go out,
I need a couple things:
groceries and spackle.

Monday, July 9, 2012

Prompt: Beehive (Be Hive) Collaborations

Bilby, 2009, Natural Beehive
Write a poem inspired by the beehive, by bees, by large collaborations humming along.

Are you busy as a bee? Buzzing about?
Gathering nectar? Savoring honey?

Considering having fun with one or more of these options:
  • The old name for bees, and for those who tended them, is "Melissa." Write a love letter to "Melissa" in honor of the pollinating that bees do, making so much fruit and food and seed possible...
  • Go outside and find a bee or gaze at flowers. Watch the bee for five to ten minutes, then write a poem
  • Gather 10 words symbolizing or reflecting characteristics that help us collaborate ... then use these to write a poem
  • Spend an hour of today (whether in an office or a farmer's market or a bus or ...) experiencing with extended senses, how you are part of something larger. Feel your antenna, what do you feel with them? What is your hive like? What directional dances do you share to help others find the juicy flowers? How are you helping build the hive?

VACANT LOT ~ a 2nd Tribute to the urban farm



A sure footed approach makes it down intact

Most are hunched and pulling at the ground


In the garden
He takes their hands and brings them to their knees
For these kids... that's a steep plunge


You could say, he's somewhat of a
Messianic farmer
Recruiting young disciples for his outdoor hearth
Taking their rage under his wing
Sanctifying it
Stirring it's heat into a ground of  true and forgotten wealth
The soul of another Vacant Lot revived
Made holy for a while
Trust-timed to explode abundance


It's hard not to notice, how patiently
He's raking in the alfalfa meal, the potassium
How he's developing a knack for
Deterring flea beetles and face to fist contact


This evening, he strolls with a steady stride
Around volatile corners of flare-up kids
Their gunship alleys
Each face reminds him of someone he knew
Each one, not letting him forget


If you asked him how he does it, he might say
"It's like harvesting seed...
You know what to look for...You gather when they're ready...”
Pause
You pray for good conditions
Long enough to establish roots”

Episode



It’s the word that opens the door,
fires the synapse picture throughout my body.

I ask if you want to watch another episode.
Another episode. We’re forty-five together,

we have a child, a European Sleepworks bed.
We’ve been to Bangkok and Amsterdam

and Sandy Eggo. Where haven’t we been?
Sleep is our only pause between episodes,

and even the roustings and night make
some kind of plot. My whole body

is with your whole body; and in a second
I’m overcome with the lucky circumstance,

melted into a sort of love-flavored Jell-o.
But with all natural flavors. And then

we watch another episode and go to sleep.

Start burning the incense,


  










Art by Harvey the Pooka


Get out your best quill pen...

Here's a special prompt in preparation for our upcoming chapbook and Portland Oregon road tour!

Take our blog's namesake as your prompt:
"I am You And You Are I."

Birth something beautiful, bold, memorable, creative, fabulous, quirky, and/or eccentric...

Consider: 
How are we part of each other?
Are we soul-twined in the tapestry of life?
Is poetry a form of group be-ing?
Does the spark of our group call and response, conjuring, and collaboration make us part of creation? Make us Creation? Make us part of each other?
How are you and I breathing each other?
Is poem-making mutualistic like tree exhalation being human inbreath outbreathing breath for tree? Are we entirely co-existing, overlayerings of hue and tone?
Does poetry increase our inner and outer being, expand our edges, unfurl us?
Am I already speaking your words while writing this, because I am you and you are I?

Labels: poem, imunuri, [poet's moniker]




PS notice how the cross section profile of a trumpet looks like faces in relief? Is that an example of how I am You and You are I?

Bonus PS: Please put forward poems(s) of yours to be included in the chapbook. Choose the ones that move you most. If you have favorites by other poets, let them know. Submissions by Friday, July 6, please and thank you thank you thank you

Self Storage ~ A Jig

Inspired by the tune of Merrily Kissed the Quaker and Cunla by Pierre Bensusan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzU98dg8laY


I'm dancing this dance of density
Around and around the propensity
To keep and keep and keep and keep
So many things that I simply can't sleep

Self storage is now going on twenty
It's been months and months a plenty
Commiserating with so many like me
Stuffing things tight so creatively

I picked a place that I really like
So getting there is not a big hike
Only now it feels like a second home
My first one being wherever I roam

In one place and then another
My only satisfaction is the bother
To create the appearance I am free
Free of the weight (but paying a fee)

I have cups and I have saucers
I have pillows and a poem by Chaucer
Bags and bags of miscellaneous things
This gentle soul even saves strings

I'm dancing this dance of density
Around and around the propensity
To keep and keep and keep and keep
So many things that I simply can't sleep

I want to be free I want to be me
But somehow I remain on bended knee
Praying and praying to be released
Somehow not seeing this is a love feast

I've been storing my Self for myself
Happy now to clear the shelf
Break open the plates put out to offer
Tasting courage, 'tis the key to the coffer

What a Love Feast, can I give it away?
Who will grace it, receive it without any sway?
Releasing confusion and old loyalties
It all comes now free of royalties

I've been dancing a dance of density
Around and around the propensity
Of having to keep and keep and keep
But now I'm giving it away in my sleep

No more need to keep my Self from my self
No hesitating, withholding of oneself
Putting it out there as a tender offer
It's voice, it's vision and heart of this coffer

Unlocking this lock the key being free
Singing and dancing this jig I am me
Fancy that being free to relax let go
Enjoying what is ~ simply sharing the flow
