sad medium
angry medium
happy medium!

I wish I could chat up women
silently
wordlessly
telepathically
without long
courtship rituals
the neither of us really believe in
but, not worried about what comes after,
just nod to each other
and poof! find ourselves
waking up in a bedroom
entwined

clover moore:
trendy terrorism
designer bombings
mangled lives and
bodies of teenagers
at the Dolphinarium,
and pensioners
at the Park Hotel
painted over
with nail polish
_____________

the more dangerous
the world seems to become
the more I seek safety
in dreams of nipples
and what lies
in the interstitial
of female
thighs

Black olives on the path

what had to be picked
with hard labour
a few months prior
is now given freely

Get your shit together
to be a Jew
is to have
lots of other people
project their shit
onto you

The Jewish year 5786 runs from sunset on September 22, 2025, to sunset on September 11, 2026. In Jewish tradition, it is considered a year of divine connection, symbolized by the Hebrew letter vav (ו), representing a hook, bridge, or connection between heaven and earth, often referred to as a year to "stretch to connect" or build unity.Key Significance of 5786:Hebrew Letter Vav (ו): The year is associated with the 6th letter, vav, which acts as a connector and represents humanity (created on the 6th day).Theme of Connection: It is viewed as a time for divine alignment, bringing together disjointed seasons, and connecting the spiritual and physical realms - and hopefully in my case, the inner and the outer.


I watch the mind, its machinations, its impossible hunger for safety and comfort, its fears and desires. That is what mind does.

there will never be a better moment
than now
there will never be a better tree
than this tree
there will never be a better pain
than this pain
there will never be a better acceptance
than this acceptance
there will never be a better moment
than now

a cloud of grief
settled on the children of Sinai
and the sky was so dark
you could see stars in the daytime

A MESSAGE FROM THE ROAD SAFETY COUNCIL
Beware of blind spots
beware of sighted spots
beware of excited spots
beware of deaf spots
beware of black spots
beware of white spots
beware of (recently) spotted
spots
in general exercise due caution
when approaching spots

Process poems

worrying about dying?

a sure sign

you're still alive

whenever there is an emotional issue in my life

and I feel a bit disconnected

the numbness in my left foot increases

because everything is connected

I watch the talk on sex addiction

because I find the presenter

very sexy

A heavy burden

The Bondi massacre must never be forgotten"
"The October 7 massacre must never be forgotten"
"The Shoah must never be forgotten"
"The Chmielnicki massacres must never be forgotten"
"The expulsion from Spain must never be forgotten"
"The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temples must never be forgotten"
"The Exodus must never be forgotten"
"Shabbat must never be forgotten"
O my sweet people
with all these things to remember
when will you find time
to live?

My young adult son
keeps his distance
but feeds me the occasional
morsel
major victories and defeats
but nothing in between
like a dog gone for weeks
that only comes indoors
to bring a magnificent rat
to place at my feet
or, cowed, tail folded
rests a while between them.
and when he does
despite the bitter thoughts
that seemed to calcify
in the long bleak silences
amazingly
the best father I know how
appears with
open arms
and heart
