when i break in
when i break in
and i take in
everything at once
i take in
everything that lives
under the sun - i am
so awake
so ready to take it
to you
to you i walk back into the hill
i watch that place
become what it is
through the light breaking down
i am about it
i am made through it
i conclude myself
in the night
the leaves are coming down
i break them down
to dirt
want to live on the earth
so here
my bones cold
knowing that
there’s no home beyond
so i take
outside mind
i take that as a place
i can find
real people
outside mind people
in the dark
outside mind people
in the nighttime

watch the train go round the track
round the track down
i’ll find someone that
back again to we said we wanted in life
had a moment
considered
considered
considered
what is
what is
your take
away
what is
what is
your take away
i feel strong i feel strong i feel pushed i feel involved
i am inside in deep inside a dream
wanna be
i wanna be
as i want to be
and i will want to be
and what is
and what can i have be my
breakaway
and what is
what will be my signature
on this place
leave nothing back
left no suit behind
left no rock piles
left some part of my mind
outside doing two or three times
doing three or four miles
as the sun goes down and the moon rise
what i’m looking for is not in any human eyes
when i hear them
calling
swooping
circling
i’m listening
and i’m talking back to you
outside mind
to you
outside mind

You have told me to sit down
and i sat at your grey banks
your rocks established a reflecting place
wide gold water pouring
i am alone an not alone
with you today
my own great ghost is here
my own great ghost is here
with me
years ago we came to you succor creek
knowing the world together
as you
i walked through you
and he held my shoes
and so it was before
i think we could have lived outside forever
but the aching world with all the anguish pulled us back
and we had to make money
and have jobs
and pay for the groceries and the place
along succor creek you run boldly
even when i thought you must be dry in sept 2020
here i am and you flow gorgeously goldly
with volcanic eyes you watch me
from your high canyon sides
and i flow tears to you
and have an announcement
and i flow tears to you and have an announcement
he’s gone
off with some new one
and me alone
with my questions and my queerness and my heart so raw and hungry
i’m with you succor creek
and so many other beings by your side
i hear them calling
and i feel their intertwining all around me
i feel their intertwining all around me
i wanna know can i be part of you
will you
hold a part of me forever
on your banks
of which i’ve often dreamed
alder trees with their roots showing
show me how to be
succor creek
show me how to be
succor creek

round the end of the road
that you walked and you let yourself go
don’t look back don’t look back you admonished yourself
around that bend you rose
i will be i will be i will be
something else
you said to
the blackbirds who course
through thee air through the air all around you
as the plain spread flat
and the road wove on
what’ll you do what’ll you do said the fencepost
as it creaked into view
where will you go where will you go who
blew the grasses as they bent and blew
what do you think anymore
you said to you
you said to you
came upon a spring
came upon as spring
came into view
you thought you thought you’d better drink
something clean something clear from the ground
you bent down bent down
you bent
dust in your clothes and you
close to the ground you
started to pray
what does tomorrow say you asked
what does tomorrow want to do
what will the air be like there
will i still know how to move among them
will i know where to go
or how to ask for something
will i want anyone
or will i just be careful
or will i walk until the sun is falling down
again
walk until the moon is my only guide
again
will i wait wishing whispering and looking far ahead
i cannot say
i cannot say

how do forests think?
i listened
as i drove away
from the green place
how do people walk
so burdened down
why do we burn the ground
of our families
I’m gonna to make a place
in the way things are
starting a culture where
where any “it” is a “you”
and i do
want to
i’m so afraid
and i build myself
into a tower
hand made
person blind
with no object in mind
no one in mind
but you-
who are you?
who are you?
who are you?
who are you?
when i look your way
over the cyber space
i know something’s true
maybe something to do
with how i dream of you
and i do
and i do
while the world falls onto
its bruised and bloody knees
i dream of you
who are u?
as all of my life
and my loves
are turning to smoke
i think of you
and watch
the news
i think about you
how are you?
how are you?
how are you?
how are you?
how do forests think?
in such times as these
personally,
i’m with the trees
