What a fantastic

Snacky kind of place to be!

 

To be that funny-

bunny Blue Peanut Head Man!

 

To be somersaulting along

inside your pocket place

 

doing tiny little blue tumbling acts

across your jawbone curve,

cartwheels across the eye-sky

inside the appleseeds of your Eyes,

and then, there will more than likely be

some tender-whispered,

miniature blue-lipped,

teeth-chattering laughter after

the little love tryst in your pocket.

 

Talking like a Joy-junkie

along the water's edge,

thinking of leaping into the water,

into the Sea,

into the Endless play of Love-words

being given some Yearning-Birth

from the mothering of three,

thou,

I,

and the Blue Peanut-Head Man

waving like a Mad-Man from the shore,

and we,

still standing

in what would have been knee-deep

(if they hadn't souped-up in dissolving)

in the water, the lac of wee lass'

like me still calling out for full-submersion,

so, someone want to give me and Robert

a plunging under this Laughter?

Blue-Headed Men in pockets

pick-pocketing parts of Me

and all the other inner pockets

you might be hiding from me,

just empty 'em out at the door.

 

Love of games not really games,

real bouts with God

and the Friendling's Bob,

always befriending his blue-headed friends,

like me.

 

Mazie, a something moving like a blue-bellied lizard,

eyeing flies like they were some kind of

counteractive-meal to your mystic poetry,

and I am just a blue-thwapped lizard tongue

flicking across the mystery

or the complete and utter nonsense

of this Moment

of these

bluish-hued bug-snaggings

from a hoped for greeting from you to me.

 

Real round-a-bout way

to get a cosmic soul-kiss...

 

 

 

 

Nothing makes a difference.

 

Perhaps it always has.

 

Blown along the cold coast of reason

the breeze is stepping down now

to a softer part of the feeling, is warm

on the tip of my eye I am keeping

like a lover on this moon.

 

This moon!

 

Her naked radiance

blatant and unashamed

blasts the billion

tiny mirrors studded diamond-like

within my cells, now all ablaze

with urgent whitelight moonshine!

 

Some feeble fog has slipped between us,

as far from my nose as it is

to your toes,

and we are tempted to the old debate:

Are the stars moving, or

are we? Famished

I devour this mist and drink

my tears.

Do not matter that I am

shedding these poor particular tears.

They are drooped, justified.

Mystified, but also needing

air.

 

Talking breeds

its own dilemmas

but we employ no proper names, nodding

to ourselves in that sweet redundancy

ancient loving brings.

Those ashen masks were shed

like tears away

in the far ghost lands that

even now shimmer and evaporate in memory.

 

Tonight is the kind of night that -

everyone is always wishing you goodnight -

well…

It finally is.

A time of things falling

from trees and dogs

fart in fear, but we don't

budge.

 

These falling things have never mattered much to us.

 

There are no sins

of omission here.

I am not the kind who breaks things

down, nor have I really taken

to the mathematics of the spheres,

but I can see

how someone might.

It all adds up,

my precious Sister Dear!

 

My ears

are cast like limbs of trees

attendant now to the sad

tiny melodies

barely audible

echoing from within

the tear she has grown to warm her eye.

 

You ask:

 

"Suppose you waking up replied –

today no saint,

tonight no suicide.

 

Would you be surprised?"

 

I answer:

 

As the story goes so too was she

ripped off away to the palace of ashes,

her heart a heap of ashes.

 

Be seated, sentenced to ashes,

and pushing them about as in

an ashtray trying

various designs of things

with these many ashes

she alas became herself

so ashen.

 

At last, and at least

in her own eyes

the ashen configurations

began to blossom wondrously –

due no doubt to the speck of ash

which clinging cluttered up her dry eye.

 

Even so, despite the fine and fancy

elegance of symbols

she would mold the mounds of ashes into,

the final word she could not frame

until of course she

glimpsed this moon

and crying hot tears dissolved

the ashes of her eyes

till she with sight could

see and sing with glee!

 

 

It's nice

you know

just sitting

here, the fire by

 

blue-smoking the moon

perpetually

 

roasting over cinders

of cruel intelligibility

 

listening carefully

with unconcealed delight as

four times twenty-seven hairs go

growing past your ears

 

my friend

 

tonight

 

 

 

LoveAlways,

 

Mazie & b

))))))) The Blue Peanut Head Man

bears no allegiance to

George Washington

Carver.

 

If you say he represents a new paradigm,

he will give you a quarter

and tell you to

call someone who cares.

 

He comes pre-roasted, but

only lightly salted.

 

He is one with his

vegetable oil.

 

It is not blue.

He is blue, but curiously

happy in his blueness,

having come to peace and

acceptance with his blue nature.

 

Krishna at times appeared

to be blue. He bears a slight

hump but tastes like Jesus.

 

Did the Blue Peanut Head Man

emerge from the Blue Pearl?

 

If you stop to ponder this question,

already you are miles away.

 

Saturday i shared a bag of

roasted salted peanuts with

my love, as we strolled through

the Botanical Gardens in GG Park.

 

Clouds and sun intermingled, and

the wind carried a thin layer of fog

above our heads as we sat with a quail

in the Succulent Garden.

 

We said little, because everything

said it for us. Soon the peanuts were gone,

and what was left was more magnificent

than anything i could say here.

 

The Blue Peanut Head Man

was with us, as he always is.

He was neither laughing or grieving -

just a friend when you would like one.

 

Few hear the secrets

hidden within his shell -

who has ears for that music?

 

Perhaps it is not granted

that we see such soul -

 

it is enough that he is a friend

who wants the outer bag torn and

the label tossed away.

 

Anyone who feels the slightest separation

from the one they love understands

what he says.

 

If peeled from his shell,

does he wish to return?

 

There are hundreds of ways

to enjoy his friendship -

 

why stop at the obvious?

 

Later we wander down to the beach.

He skips behind, playing

hide & seek among the trees.

 

Sometimes, just when we say

"Aha!"

he is off and on

his way again.

 

Funny Blue Head Peanut Man!

 

When we wade out in the ocean,

all our salt dissolves.

b & Friends,

 

b, I had a "blue headed peanut man" almost 20 years ago in when I

lived in Ithaca NY, only mine took on the guise of "Cecil, the Sea

Sick Sea Serpent", a cartoon character from my youth. Sometimes he

would emerge from a swamp that I would ride beside and get on the

back of my bike and ride with me out to a spit of land jutting out

into the lake where he would fill my head with images. Of course, he

was distracting me from something I had to do, and that was the price

I had to pay for his company. Later it proved to be a heavy price by

anyone's standards, but still I had enjoyed magic(also by anyone's

standards), even for only a few hours.

 

yours in the bonds,

eric

)))) that's all the time we have, eh?

and yet, a few hours are no different than eternity

when we let go of time itself.
