A Woodpecker

A woodpecker he's made of me

I hammer at my honey's tree

For him to hear and me to see

How beautiful one boy can be

It seems that I knock senselessly 

Still I persist relentlessly 

Each gift we're sent is meant to seed

I act in authenticity

Totem and Talismam

I talk to totems and to trees

To butterflies and bumblebees

To tailismans and tarot reads

Departed friends and to Ritchiiiiieeeee!

I ask my angels, heckos please?

And this is how they're answering 

When I woke up and chose to see

To walk from what seemed so sturdy

They brought you as a gift to me

I say okay, so why'd he leave?

I hear, has your life been a beach?

You're meant to learn and grow through grief

To turn your light on and to teach

To open up your mouth and speak

And with your wings and writing reach

A lightning bug and lion chief 

El Capitan

El Capitan

I'm not your fan

I will not pay to see your band 

Nor blow you in your touring van

No soy a sailor, mi soul fam

Not second fiddle to a man

I'm equal to and no less than

Fine Print

My astral brothel's gone offline

Please see the fine print on the sign

That if you'd like to be so kind

Do make a move and up your mind

I'm hard to crack but not to find

On sacred space in northern pine

I'm in your wild west this time

I ride with rhyme and to remind

A solar eclipse doesn't shine

Don't use the moon to hide behind

Kona Coffee

Kona coffee, mornings when

I'm the pride of my island

I may never hear my men

Tell me what I mean to them

If they wish to trap and pin

Mason jar the light I lend

I will not be their victim

I'll leave and we'll both ascend

I've been asked to go within

Be like water and the yin

Now I'm proud, and in the end

So is my creator then

The Outer

On the outer, looking in

Left to die by my lions

Furthest ring of Saturn spins

Forcing me in cold again

Throwing me to wolves that grin

Tearing me from limb to limb

Lord how they have worn me thin

Help me get away from them

I will never let them win

Bring me to new friends and kin

Ones who love and compliment 

Girl Circus

Acrobatic reaper cheater

Dagger eater, fire breather

Rafter swinger in the theatre

Tightrope walker of the ether

Ringmaster of men beneath her

Aerial until they need her

Lion tamer in the bleachers

Healer in his tent and teacher

Circe is quite the creature feature

Carnival both sun and secret
