SUMMER UPDATE

Hail to Thee O Mighty Brute's Force~ We walk outside and are see the sky.
We walk inside our home and are see a ceiling. We walk outside and are
in Space. We walk inside our home and are in a room. Still we are in
Space. Space with in Space. Walls of our room within unwalled Space. We
have an idea that, "There is a room." We think, "There is Space." The
idea in our mind. Space in our mind. We imagine endless Space. An
endless room. Space in our Mind. Endlessness in our Mind. A drop of
vanilla icecream falling forever. We enter the Sea of Consciousness and
sink below the surface. We swim under the Water of Conciousness, and
think, "Endless, endless, forever and forever, horizon after horizon."
We come up for air. Oh look... There is a beachparty tonight. A fire
burns and marshmallows crisp. From our vantage point, in the dark water,
we can see old men fish for bass on the jetty. Kids joke and laugh
'round the fire. We sink below the surface again into the liquid darkness and
open our eyes to the primordial silver glow. Someone said this will never
end. Someone said this will always end. No one said the kiss of love would ever
be hotter
than this summer night, where passion lives in the roomless room, in the
Space without walls, in the Summer of our Dreams as the fire crackles sparks,
myriad as stars, endless as love. Beneath the Heart Constellation Death shall
be awakened with Love's first kiss.
Your servant, Brute

Spring Day at the Beach.4-17-05 Spring has arrived on time this year. But it has taken a while to feel like Spring in NYC. The cold just kept hanging on. In 90 minutes I was on the beach in New. Jersey I walked the length of the beach and found an unattended log fire. It drew me close. I knelt to feel its warmth. I dipped my hand in the red and brown ash, and touched my finger to the middlle of my forehead. A poem play I have witten, starts out with just such an experience. I put sand on the embers as there was a stiff breeze and the fire would probably grow. I wanted to prevent a glowing ember from being carried in the wind. You know what Smokey the Bear says...don't you?

This April Spring day I dipped in the Atlantic. The sun was warm, althio the breeze off the ocean necessitated me building a wooden wind shield, about a foot high. Lying close to the barrier I caught about 2 hours of the sun, and an occasional whiff of tar emanating from the wood.

It was very fine, being away from NYC, very close to the Big Water. And the ocean was cold, yes, but a bit more tolerable than the previous 3 months. I found a few shark's teeth while walking and spoke briefly with a few aquaintances. A woman aproached me, said she's writing a book, and asked if I had known of any ghosts or legends in the town., a town I've been returning to for some 55 years."I've never seen a ghost here," said I. I guess I could have said that perhaps I'm a bit of a legend by now...But that's not for me to say.

I took some pics of cherry blossom, or dogwood trees, I don't know which, anyway they were pink and beautiful.

Pink and beautiful..

On the way back to NYC I had a great hot dog with the hot red relish, sweet red relish, green relish, mustard and sourkraut, and a small root beer. Later I consumed an ice cream sundae...Medium size cup, coffee ice cream, chocolate syrup, toasted coconut sprinkles and whipped cream. The young girl asked me if I wanted a cherry...I said, "No."

She reminded me of the cherry blossoms.
