God's Tongue

The stars are taste buds

In the tongue of God

Lapping up reality lapping up our

Lives propelled through the Ethyl

Formate

Like  rum runners

Fragrance of the universe

Raspberry enhances the taste of you

My rum baba

My nebula

My Dark matter scented unseen

Like a furtive glance

We drink in divinity our

Kir Imperial

Partake of the sacred substance

Tasting our God as our God tastes us

Raspberry skin of slippery saliva salvation

The everlasting drool of love.

_______

* Ethyl formate is an ester formed when ethanol (an alcohol) reacts with formic acid (a carboxylic acid). It is also known as ethyl methanoate because formic acid is also known as methanoic acid. Ethyl formate has the characteristic smell of rum and is also partially responsible for the flavor of raspberries.^[1]

Your blades cut me slice my

Aesthetic transforming motion into

Image spinning gliding making arcs

As your hands spread fingers of feeling

Into my heart

You reach in gestures of pure grace

Gliding like a heron in ecstasy

Over the ice  black Gothic shape  over the 

White ground

Passion coming to rest on your knee

You are Nijinsky

You are abandon eroticism joy

Smiling through tears as you 

Leap through all the space between us

A Leap of faith in your own being

Through dance through skating

Your figure becomes the metaphysics

Of desire a form of love

Transcending  time  space and body

A Rhythm of Olympian power

Red-tailed Hawk in the Rain

Red-tailed Hawk
from Wikipedia

This day is drowned

Such quantities of rain have

Beat down on my tin roof

My soul is waterlogged

On the bare veins the limbs

Of a young winter oak clutches

A red-tailed hawk undaunted by

Such quantities of rain

The hawk surveys my yard

Flaps enormous brown wings

Away soundless but for the beat of

Such quantities of rain

Such quantities of rain have formed

Rivers of dream-soaked memory

Taking me in flow to my youth

To gullies and mud-pies of nostalgia

--Jack 2/4/'10
