naked and alone

naked and alone

naked and alone
in a hot steamy sauna
i sweat and smile and feel good
i wonder about things
its dark and quiet
i decide on a perfect ceremony
i lay back
and put my legs
up the wall
way high up
back flat on the floor
and smiled
for a long time
 then went upside down
handstand
headstand
flips
it was bliss
and more
alone
in that hot room
sweating it out
getting it out
dripping
and flipping around
that day
in that hot dark small room
alone
far away
 from home
still
feeling good

beginners mind

many years


many years
 many moons
ago
maybe not
so
 long ago
and far away
those days of sunshine
 those days of sliding and surfing and skating
late nights
and something else entirely now
even though those days still live in the albums, the tapes,
the shapes of all the memories
the hearts left on shelves
and wedding bells still sound
in the hallways
the kitchens
of creations
the new generations
coming up
coming back to the basics
the simple things
of beginners mind
finally
 playing with the earth
again
purely
laughing

patriarchy, taxes, etc...
