Going our own way Together



I’M
drum solo
unburied from the ashes of a pit fire,
hand painted instruments in hand,
headed north to join
IMUNURI
poets,
in the cascades of their lives,
(UN)der
Mt. Hood
to blow cornets  in Portland 
neighborhoods
to pitch our words 
into Northern Light
mutations of our poetry
incense burning tonight.
U-R-I

IMUNURI
A gathering heard
in Northern cafes,
online weekly
in Richmond CA
in Portland OR
in Taos NM
prompted by lively  writer spirits
to play with words
to pen poems
to riff together
now the song ends after
one last chorus
“Going our own way Together”


Adios Imunuri

and an echo of an earlier post (from Drum Solo)

The Finish Line

breathless at last/
happy to have left
a few poems behind the
finish line

    1. truly wished to say more than just what the body said in smiling...

      I loved the three-tiered structure of the
      IM
      UN
      URI
      poem and book ending of the offerings by poems themselves. A builder/designer kind of exaltation/celebration. Thank you!

  2. Smiles here, too. And getting a little teary-eyed.
    That Portland trip - and this whole trip - is precious and unforgettable to me.
    Thank you deeply for the drum solo.
