Bowie Benediction
In your fear
Of what we have become
Take to the fire
Now we must burn
All that we are
Rise together
Through these clouds
As on wings
In your fear, seek only peace
In your fear, seek only love
SUNDAY
David Bowie Sweets For The Sweetest Muse
There is no place for grief
in a house that serves the muse.
Sappho
As if you were on fire from within.
The moon lives in the lining of your skin.
Pablo Neruda
Open up your heart to me,
Show me who you are.
David Bowie

prayer for david bowie
This Particle of the Universe
there is no separate reality
a tunnel leads to portals
beyond the gross weights
and in this blink of an eye
all is seen all is known
as a blessing to our souls

david bowie saved me
The year was 1980 when a knock on my door shattered the peace, happiness and faith which kept me safe. It was a brutal waste of a life when my younger brother accidentally blew his brains out with a police revolver. The messengers were shocked and sick with an ugly numbness which coated grief like tar.
My brother's ghost is preaching to the night.
He stands in wounded laughter by my bed.
I turn, hiding my nakedness from sight
to see the bloody hole shine through his head.
My brother took the singing gun in jest
to tease the girl afraid of such a tool
and like a priest who whispers "you are blessed"
he shot himself and broke the golden rule.
"He shook the bullets out onto his palm."
his partner said. "He looked somewhat surprised
as one last missile hidden in the gun
blew out the light that sparkled from his eyes."
My Daniel lived two hours with partial brains.
Oh God this benediction is insane.
Bowie released Scary Monsters in September, 1980. I had been listening
to it with the passionate abandon of true love. Bowie has always been mine.
Then one month later I listened to the songs with a different ear when my brother died a violent death.
