1

giant cat fish

big stone on its head-

earthquake

2

weird madness

the dead emerge again-

clones attack

3

no other choice

spirits own us-

shamanic trance

4

with joy

orchards fair dance:

honest psyche

5

the golden tree

with two birds-

faith and patience

6

peace poets:

right song

in a wrong world

7

white dove

challenges suicide bomber-

weeping willow

8

rose is beautiful:

never wears

animal fur

9

war-torn tree

mourns with widow-

wolf digs grave again

10

spring never retires

nor grows old-

ceaseless second coming

11

muscle nor missile

use words-

enlightenment

12

sky dances

rainbow kisses-

child with a toy

13

sun’s bright fire

on an empty chair-

shaman sitting there

14

blue sky

exposed to the sun-

primitive joy

15

adam eve love

run skyward-

defeat gravity
