naked soul

clutch white towel
at waist to hide
my nakedness

choir in robes
passes through
my house

go up to bedroom
ask nine women
to leave
cannot show
my nakedness

my young mother
appears in
black evening
dress

she wants me
to hug her
I step toward her
dropping towel

flying above
forest
cathedral below
no roof
spires a crown
open to sky

last person to see
my naked soul
was my mother
when I was child

open your soul
open your
cathedral
to heaven

no choosing

​riff on jefe
counselor to counselor

you are now
in the hospital
and you want to choose
but there is no
choosing there
there is only accepting
the death that is coming

the choosing was done
a long time ago
when you chose liberty
over authority
and let the virus
run free
​
you are now
in a flood zone
and you want to choose
but there is no
choosing there
there is only accepting
the storm that is coming

the choosing was done
a long time ago
when you chose greed
over science
and led the carbon
run free
the omega glory

tomorrow is
