...and they lived happily ever after. Smith & Lady: poets, artists, photographers & adventurers.
Our relationship was forged to the soundtrack of Yoko Ono's magic,
frenetic, love-laden song, "Walking On Thin Ice." ( play song )

The cash in salads
radicchio, arugula, kale, bibb
lettuce like tender, supple currency
vehicle for seasoning and
surface, fresh relish
of spring

Two Wet Servings of Fairly Eternal Happiness
Our ocean’s yawn ain’t silent
its lick is chock for eyes to find
echinoderms crawl nether spread
secret creatures of the flapping lapping
blanketed stars
And Lake Erie plays close yet
almost alien to the daily domain
of our digs
It’s only miles away,
this other kind of happy,
scads to attend
~ Lady

Our own hand rumbling o’er own hand
for rededication of the temple, living for the love light
candle by candle like the Maccabees but and also
slo mo ballet toeing tiger dragon aerial
dancing the guaguanco chicken squawking chimango
caracara mambo Mulatu Astatke rumba
community carnival conscientious of all
like the girl scout law

Hard to say the when and where of
such and such’s from, could’ve been carried
from Mesopotamia to North Africa
or vice versa
Manufacturing’s a melange,
numerous raw attributions dug out of the dirt
by happenstance or planning, gleaned
or traded learning
To know the when and where of it’s
like ascribing butterflies to words fused into
interstitial glass and ground in the crucible or
baked to efflorescent faience
The sum greater-than-its-parts
like the sun shining through a stained glass
mosaic, oculi omnium panoptic glaze melded
to transcendence–the curio that is loved
and examined

I want life a musical
dance party family gatherings and
circles of hugs, Hava Nagila and ethnic fusion
dashing dervishes backspinning breakdancers
twelve day Christmases jugglers throwing torches
advent box calendars and harlequins
in repose

Like merchants muttered 10 xu = 1 hao, 10 hao =
1 dong, Thich Nhat Hanh walks a mile in his own shoes
counting breaths and steps, always arriving
appreciating attainment
The Big Dream, great glob, what-is-ness,
moderated suffering like a dash of spice for
happiness, good recipes for que sera,
gathas for que esta
Being with his steps, his constant reunions,
praying for everyone to have breath,
to have that arriving breath,
to have the human right
of happiness

REMEMBERING
Such holy air, wind
moving through itself
alighting here and there
having an epiphany
It’s holy
The finery of our thoughts
some aspects of remembering–
like filigree wedding decorations
heralded by birds holding ribbons
Birthing novelties
hobbies on horseback
packing for a picnic
fun on a plate
Bodacious and bedazzled,
pick up your elaborate skirts
put affectations on
for size
You thought
they weren’t
your style
You can learn

SAVE PARADISE
Save paradise, the old elements:
draughts of water sweet as nectar
air, the thinking of which entering our lungs
an immediately accessible way to feel peace
productive soil, satisfaction of scooping it in
the hand, aroma rich as freshly ground coffee
judiciously kindled fire–a great comfort
And the spectrum of fruits from dripping peaches
to Katie’s cherry plunked buckets
conjuring handy old words
like larders and pantries,
bushels and baskets,
pints and jars
Civilization has great role
for Nature
Civilization unspread on gingham from
a picnic basket sitting by a creek
in a well-managed watershed
Air fired in our lungs and liquid
jewel of water perpetually sprung from
taps of lakes, rivers and reservoirs
happy and clean via exercise of
regulations and
education
Soil composted
on the lattice of organic learning
principles of agriculture revisited
cherry-picking best practices
from old… and new
~ Lady

THE ASYMPTOTE
Of how the asymptote climbing
should be slack a bit and not like
something you step into and struggle
and it gets tighter like a junkie
for more of your effort to
help and excel
How the asymptote climbing can be
like something you do for exercise,
a seed drop platform, something
that helps when you’re doing it
and when you can’t and
you step off
it doesn’t negate
the effects of what you’ve done
when you were working it
It’s like a project you massage in a garden,
a project in the soil like a trellis you erect
for a vine
Or maybe your legs on the sidewalk…
you work the asymptote and your legs
get stronger on the sidewalk
or the trail or whatever
and you step back
into your sofa and rest,
and that’s necessary, too
Or you leave the trellis in the garden
and Nature sends its tendrils
Nature works the asymptote, too,
cyclically
The squirrels and the chipmunks race around,
squirrels fluid fur water effortlessly
up and down around it
Chipmunks chipping spurting
little darts
Leaves bloom and abound it too…
so many curlicues accentuated by heralds of bird swirl
stretching up and out for better spread,
for sun, their food
You’re people; don’t worry
’bout carrying that asymptote
like a necklace of thorns or
heavy hurting trellis
on your backs
All you gotta do is start it,
tend when necessary, fend some,
mend some in your rounded reasonable
rational good faith role–
Feel good while you’re doin’ it,
make adjustments so you can–
keys to how much
Old and new traditional forms,
following forms–gardeners, beekeepers,
naturalists–be blessed,
work, apply learning
and rest
~ Lady
