No means more than no

Like a million buffalo water-falling off a cliff
it hits you
the word no
when repeated becomes a tribal chant
rejection
is a sun dance gone wrong
the lone bear on the mountain
doesn't want to be that way.

fear of happieness

I am the monster who crushes what is bright
burning happiness with delight
in my slumber snores and snares
even nightmares are bewares
of those dark and dancing steeds
who from my mind doth havok wreak
upon this land safe harbor we seek
with miles to go before i wake
and miles before my happiness can take
hold beneath the sun
and blossom like a flower on the run
but i fear
that in my sleep the steeds will rear once more
and trample all beauty to the floor

blue jello sky

I want to fall into the sky blue
Lay there a lover of life true
and
Count the trees that sway
as happy green shadows
cast on the bay
and
ill be an owl at night
in their branches
cuddled with moonlight
watching the waves
wave to me
from the sky
all ill see is a big pool of blue rasberry jello
jiggling and wiggling
and im sure ill want to fall into there too.
