MIKE, PAM AND BAILEY
Solid enough for a Mad Bear to lean on
mother enough for the world to suckle
Downs baby magic lifts the whole world up

2 CATS, 2 DOGS AND A 5 YEAR OLD
2 CATS, 2 DOGS AND A 5 YEAR OLD
The orange cat has orange eyes
Orion lost two teeth
dogs bark at every care
but Alura scared off the bear
BILL
BILL
lives at the top of the hill
four bulging disks rack his back
music and love still flow through
MICHAEL
MICHAEL
Thirty years and more
since the priest in plaid
passed on the madness that
drives us through a wondering world
SUSAN
SUSAN
A boat of beauty
cuts thorough chaos
gentle order in her wake
MANIWAKI MOON
MANIWAKI MOON
Through the sacred fire at the sacred lake
by the tree twice lightning struck
sacred tobacco and sacred cedar
burned in a sacred way
We circle and leave by the Eastern door
GRANDMOTHER GEORGINA
GRANDMOTHER GEORGINA
moves between the worlds
ties them together
three stitches to each bead
BERT BUILDS A SHED
BERT BUILDS A SHED
Bert is a gentle man
wakes early with no hurry
and drives nails all day
with a gentle fury
THE LADY WHO EATS SNOW
THE LADY WHO EATS SNOW
There is a lovely sad lady in Texas
who eats snow in her dreams
writes about young wolves
and the order of the hunt
During the long dark winter
the lady who eats snow
grows larger and nearer to herself
The ice of the river is in her glass
she is two margaritas short of a howl
Soon she will dream
of Alpha wolves
and water
INTO THE WEB
INTO THE WEB
In you is the love making
of teeth and claws
and the severing of limbs
While Mister Black Widow
even knowing the end of the act
Leaps into the web and
pulls it to him with
all eight arms
