1. Pretty

Church light     and golden chalice,
      sin thick as      milk

how can you be so hollow and    filling?

      Holy  (k)night    —  cloak me

      in your wine cloth of deliverance
***
2. Planets

We come from dirt, from
  a womb             in the ground;

the earth’s crust crumbles--
the eye   cries     glass.  
    We are torn apart from
               the inside.

Our body is made of china bone,
it shatters  peace     into      pieces;

and soon the ocean will rise
to swallow    

        what is left     of  us.  

***
3. Ex-Boyfriend

                                       build a great, great wall
    

            bicycle


                    Through


                                      the


                disaster.   


Rebuild
                    the Old

    road                ,                                      
        
            patch                        the
   
                                                                         cuts.
                    
                        Get rid of the waste.


***
4. Create a Challenge



    bend


                the


 hedge

destiny   

    
                is      paralyzed by gridlock  


***
5. Astrology

  forces beyond our control

            will          turn the tide so

                    harness    

the       old song….

            our troubles look

                                                            worse

                                      than
                failure .

***
6. Meditate
                
            unleash

                the        innovation

                make                 energy
            —     wind,
                     plants,
                 and                fossil
                                
      ease


                                    our inner
                
                    fight


                                
We                                                                                                         have


                                the   desire
                                    to
    



    remember



Our                 


                            spark      .
