Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Roots
“Prolonged exposure to nature gives one a sort of grammatica pardo*, a wisdom of the soil.”
~ Jim Harrison, from A Really Big Lunch
*to be worldly-wise; know the ways of the world
In the cloister under
the canopy of the Mesquite
all life’s wisdom is here
in the symphony of the birdsong
wafting on the cool morning breeze.

“You can’t write the clear biography
of the aches and pains inside your skull”
~ Harrison from Skull / Songs of Unreason
I didn’t decide to be a poet.
Rather, the poet found my mind lush fertile ground
for prophecies and fantasies to be or not to be.

Minstrels
“I’ve spent a lifetime
trying to learn the language of the dead”
~ Jim Harrison from Sister in Songs of Unreason
In the quiet early hours before morning blooms
I yearn to catch their voices amid the scattered ruins
and revel in the midst of their exquisite power.
