BP and Jesus



The Pelican

Legend has it that the pelican, a sea bird, gets angry with its young and killed them. It then so regrets its action that it tears its own breast with its beak, and its blood brings its young back to life. The pelican is seen to represent the sacrifice of Christ, whose blood is shed to so that all may participate in his risen life, and especially those who drink his blood (wine) in Communion.


- John Bowker. World Religion. DK Publishing, 1997 -

Going Home


Going Home
Homage to Santoka


I danced with a girl
she had three legs and danced well
I was quite drunk then

when she goes to church
with the red shoes upon her head
a miracle will happen

she undresses
like an onion peeling itself
I have tears in my eyes

earth worms underground
are you happy there?

I spread my arms
she spreads her legs
martial art

saint valentine's day
two sparrows are not mating

my mind is empty
my bladder is full

oh I am sorry
you were playing a tuba
I didn't know

I can't eat bacon
the soprano is screaming
like a dying pig

so many lights on the street
I lost my shadow

the undertaker
he dumped the deceased in the pit
took the casket home

a frog came to the door
it was a jehovah's witness
reborn

in a dense fog
I drove past an abandoned house
it was my home

Wild Flowers

Wild Flower

spring rain came and went
over the sagebrush prairie
suddenly wild flowers
here there and everywhere
a silent chorus
of white yellow violet and pink

A Yellow Bird (of Bergen-Belsen)

A Yellow Bird

a yellow bird

a yellow bird from Bergen-Belsen
it is singing

a yellow bird

it has no voice
it is singing
