6 NEW POEMS in HELEN'S BLUE FELT NOTEBOOK

in the moment (1)
incense swirls
chinese flute
flying south
geese

*

in the moment (2)
chortling bird
resonates
with heartbeat
passing sounds

*

in a flash...(variation #1) for Sanussi
must get
bread
from oven
before it becomes
burnt offering


*

in a flash...(variation #2) for Sanussi
must get
bread
from oven
baked with
sunflower seeds
the way
my friend
likes it

*

in a flash...(variation #3) for Sanussi
must get
bread
from oven
burnt
sunflower seeds
give
bitter taste

*

midnight moment
summer downpour
hits roof
i wake-up
for water
it's cold

1) UNE NUIT BLANCHE

up all night again

i've taken

to drawing

on walls.

* * * * *

 

2)

pruning brambles

picking blackberries

in the sun

my father

nods approvingly

i like to think.

3) Philip Whalen

How could a "Beat Poet"

enter the monastery

shave his head

and be celibate?

i wondered

40 years ago.

Well, here i am

"alone" for just as long 

and living 

in a "hermitage"

these past four years.

4) No room for manoeuver

Merton said

a life is either

all spiritual

or

not spiritual at all.

My father said

one cannot be too honest

either

one is honest

or

one is not honest.
