Anonymous Poem

I must have skimmed past this man's heartfire before,

searching for the taker of names,

but because only part of his memory was hidden,

I would never have noticed

May Confession

PICT0108, originally uploaded by babajiwotan.

Well, that's it for Winnipeg, Im off to the bush for planting season tommorrow.

lament:
I feel a bit blue. Winter was kind of a bummer. And this last of fall was a bit
anti-climactic. Or is fall always this way? Only to lead into the explosion of the summer?
Whatever it is, Im glad to be going back to work. Back to the cold hard ground,
back to lifting and breathing. Away from the endless living and dreaming in either
the past or the present. The self-promotion, the vanity, the chasing of butterflies.
the unreality. The losing, the loss. The over-indulgence. The self-pity, the inaction.
the wasting of time, the endless searching and never finding. Away from The stubborness,
the forgetfullness, the self-loathing lows and unsteady all-too short highs. Away from The computer,
and the basement. Away from the tower. Away from broken hearts.

Towards the sun, towards the burning bush, the early morning, the hunger that is satisfied,
the thirst that is quenched, towards satisfaction, towards fulfillment, towards love
towards love. Towards laughing children, towards the fire because Im cold.
towards the light in my eyes and the eyes of others who I am pleasing
with a joke and with goodwill. Towards wholesomeness. towards the place
that I once was happy and towards the place that I am happy again now.
towards my friends and family and lover who have missed me after a long absence.
and towards who I miss.

Human language born from ape gestures

(How interesting that this came to my attention, and we were just discussing this here not too long ago...) From Cosmos magazine:

Human language may have evolved from the use of gestures by our ape ancestors, and not just from primitive vocalisations, according to a new study.

"The way they use gestures is extremely variable, especially compared with other forms of communication ... This makes gesture a possible candidate for symbolic communication in our shared ancestor."

Facial expressions and vocalisations, on the other hand, are more stereotypical, and are though to be largely instinctive and reactionary in apes. Gesture appears to be more under conscious voluntary control – much like human language, write the authors.

... speech itself is a kind of gestural communication, made up of gestures of the tongue, larynx and lips. "My guess is that gestural language became more facial and less manual as our ancestors usurped the hands for other activities."

This is my friend Tara with Bonny Prince Bono, defender of the Freelands and Guardian of the Hilldwellers or something like that.

She met 'im when she was in Boston at a conference of some sort.

I often wonder, what's it like being you?

Dream Eyes

Ends

I mutter under my breath
about the
cigarette end calling cards
left on my front stoop
peeking out the welcome mat
buried under mud
from your shoe
fossils that burned
in midden

long ago
a man explained that mine
were always
straight and stood at attention
in a glass ashtray
balanced on my window sill
he noticed
one squashed and twisted
from someone else’s mouth
had shared the spot
and me

today
I notice their cotton
and the gold letters
pressed on their collars
little soliders
this time all mine
in the sunshine
I survey the little bones
on the palm of my hand
where I map out all that remains.
