My version of a land acknowledgement and …
homage to the Dakota 38 …
_______________________________
Solstice
long days are here,
abridged is the night
we get to see them in a different light …
5am and half past 10(pm)
learned our lesson in the six-foot seas
still we live our lives with hearts on sleeves
red skies at morn, sailors take warn
it takes a long time to gain a little time
with everybody running around here
with their fuckin’ heads cut off
East End is not the way it used to be …
to the evicted victims go the spoils of the dredge
rays of black sun beating down on us
they gave an inch, we took a mile, and then
we took the whole damn thing
razed the place and took them to Sibley -
the long night is here
clandestine cession of sky-reflecting water
(and) 3 million acres of the land they lived for 1000 solstices
Taoyateduta knows better
than to strike at those who number more than tamaracks
waves of white rolling in from the East …
like the locusts when they fly so thick,
sky explodes into blizzard
now 38 await a fate undue -
singing the Death Song

Solstice

hello, how's the weather there?
how high is the river now?
and how is your other man,
who sings to the setting sun;
why hide what the world should know - 
who we are ...

"once in my heart, always in my heart," she said;
space in between has got nothing on us;
a ternary way of life;
you don't know until you try it;
there's more than one way to read the book of love;
half of infinity is still infinite;
I'll break all the rules for this;
everyone will come around;
once in my heart, always 

I know no greater gratification, 
the best of both worlds for her,
to sing to the rising sun;
behold, all the wonders of
souls coalescing

"once in my heart, always in my heart," she said;
space in between has got nothing on us;
a ternary way of life;
you don't know until you try it;
there's more than one way to read the book of love;
half of infinity is still infinite;
I'll break all the rules for this;
everyone will come around;
once in my heart, always

Ternary

standing on the side of the ramp
flying a sign, ya know
"anything helps"
"God bless" us hopeless
(I am) only a lapse or two away

here lies Everyone

green lights - they all love, love them
red relights last night's candles
they don't want the look in my eye
far off from faith but close to my fifth
(and) only a lapse or two away

Soul Winding

Wolf Moon

succumb

succumb (abridged)

advancing glances coalescing in dreams migrate to backyard fruition;
my eyes lit by firelight reflecting off your eyes and yours by that of mine

anthropobscene

coalescing dreams

up, up and away
infinite sleep in the sky
still hooked up to the mainframe
just a blue screen to you
we're still here on the old porch
in the two days between the crash and the call
I thought you were here
the air was heavy and hard to inhale
can you fix what gremlins have wrought

south platte

nothing you've ever thought is solely yours 
sorry the neon turns meon
i heard the warning but it was way too late
i gotta live with my neural tattoos (and smile)
hidden by daylight but bright at night

up in the trees swimming the chemical suite
out on a limb baring your soul
down on the ground searching for semblance of self
my little friends, you're not alone ...

Neural Tattoos (Bright at Night)

standing on the side of the road
flyin' a sign, you know
"anything helps"
god bless us hopeless
I'm only a lapse or two away ...
