#1 Beginning

I am lost again.
Rotate.
See.

Find eternity
within.
Listen.
Smell.
Touch.
Taste the air.

Open to energy.

Begin the birth.

Move on oxygen.

Tea in Maine

A poem is sound:       Ruth Grierson plays  violin.

A poem is memory:      Scottish jigs & ballads;

A poem is taste:            all kinds of music but rap!!!!!!

A poem is smell:            while we sip English Tea

A poem is a stage:        at the library;

A poem is a story:         hear about:

the ceremonial burning

                                        of old buildings that need replacement
the Fire of 1947;

                                      that stopped when the fireball hit the sea!
the flames brought forth

                                              the aspen, birch and new seeds that burst in the heat!

NO LIMITS TO INNOVATION

Blurb launched Imprimatur!
“Let it be printed!”
Books are here to stay!
Smell, hear, dance, see, touch!

“Let it be printed!”
In romance language that burns
Itself to your gut; leaves traces
Of quests, valor, guideposts, honor.

Books are here to stay!
Info marches on, in sound, on screen:
designs that soothe the rub
balance the rush: lead home.

Smell, hear, dance, see, touch!
Jump though: leave your mark;
Tap the root; press the bud;
Shout the book song launch!
