after three days
after three days the stone was moved
time behind us new day today
here the mirror the universe you make as you wish
¡Hola! come out of your shell day
Sol has the amps plugged and ready
Venus laughs sweet and will mix the drinks Tikki Tavi
whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers
that you do unto me
remember this this is important
Ganesh lost his head to Shiva
enraged Parvathi said save him
and Shiva did
with a sleeping elephant of all things
large ears to listen more
small mouth to talk less
axe in one hand to cut ties
rope in another to pull nearer
a third hand to bless
a fourth to toss out
really
the tomb was empty just the words "I'm not there"
scrawled in red paint
10 earths can stack inside a fiery solar plume
riding a whale on the Sea of Cortez
squirtin horseclams on Osprey Island
playing pounce with Mao Zedong
back in time my father 18
a skinny sailor home on shore leave
Los Angeles 1958
