how far have i come in two years?
apparently not very

pensive reflection
and melancholy dream
bittersweet octave
kissed by the sun
eclipsed by the moon
and sung by the earth
in honey and rime

.

oh man oh man
I love the gleam in your eye
your life force is
energy manifest
love your prickly cheeks and chin
your long fingers strum string theory
and vocal cords hum bass
you know how 
I love your exotic scent
slim hips and tight
butt most of all
I love it when you sigh
oh man oh man

.

aroused in the night
by a secret tapped
on my windowpane
i went out to play
in the rain
but the wind
blew me away

.

separate desperation
emergent inclination
runic incantation
mystical incarnation
heavenly declination
inspired desorption

.

what is it

do you ever get that feeling
you don't really know what it is
like something's about to happen
you're kinda jumpy
and feel like you should be preparing
but how can you
when you don't know for what
so you try to align with the forces
to be more than ready no matter what it is
and you sense very deeply that you'll be happy
if only it would begin

In Sumerian mythology, a me is one of the decrees of the gods which encompass all the human conditions that make civilization, and show the relationship between humanity and the gods.  There are more than 100 mes, including art, music, scribeship, smith, basket weaver, builder, truth, wisdom, peace, terror, strife, fear and loathing in las vegas, just checking to see if anyone reads these.  Evils and sin were considered an integral part of humanity, a part of the inscrutable gods decree.

Enlil - god of the sky  

 Enki - god of water

Uruk -- At its height c 2900 BC, Uruk probably had 50,000–80,000 residents living in 6 km^2 of walled area; the largest city in the world at the time.  The Arabic name of lower Mesopotamia, al'Irâq, is thought to be derived from the name Uruk, possibly via Middle Persian transmission.

Cedar forest, the tallest (oldest?) cedar was cut to make the walls around Uruk. 
( Humbaba)

Gilgamesh and Ishtar, a goddess scorned

Father, let me have the Bull of Heaven
To kill Gilgamesh and his city.
For if you do not grant me the Bull of Heaven,
I will pull down the Gates of Hell itself,
Crush the doorposts and flatten the door,
And I will let the dead leave
And let the dead roam the earth
And they shall eat the living.
The dead will overwhelm all the living!

A river named Perath  is one of the four rivers that flow from the Garden of Eden according to Genesis 2:14.  This Hebrew word, derived from either the word "stream" or "to break forth", has been translated as Euphrates.  It is the fourth river – after the Pishon, the Gihon, and the Tigris (Hebrew name is Hiddekel) – to form from the river flowing out of the garden.

Muhammad said:  "The Hour will not come to pass before the river Euphrates dries up to unveil the mountain of gold, for which people will fight.
:  "The Euphrates reveals the treasures within itself.  Whoever sees it should not take anything from it".

The Fertile Crescent possessed the wild progenitors of the eight Neolithic founder crops important in early agriculture (i.e. wild progenitors to emmer wheat, einkorn, barley, flax, chick pea, pea, lentil, bitter vetch), and four of the five most important species of domesticated animals—cows, goats, sheep, and pigs—and the fifth species, the horse, lived nearby.

In the contemporary era, river waters remain a potential source of friction in the region.  The Jordan lies on the borders of Israel, the kingdom of Jordan and the areas administered by the Palestinian Authority.  Turkey and Syria each control about a quarter of the fuc of the Euphrates, on whose lower reaches Iraq is still heavily dependent.  I don't know what fuc is, but i do like how things (for lack of a better word) circle around, now, if i could just figure out why, nevamind, they just do.

overcome by ennui

in ancient communication
we sit together alone
under the dome of sky
the sound of waves
a mile away
mermaidenly echoes 
a strange situation
silence
speaks louder than words

A man's silence is wonderful to listen to.
  - Thomas Hardy

Yesterday, someone's post began a google web-chain; i randomly read a review of a nearby trail which referred to it as a hobbit trail, they said it gave them an expectation to see a hobbit smoking a pipe seated on the bench at lost lake.  I knew where i wanted to be today.

Just came out of a cedar bog, the cedars above border a white pines and oaks area, to the right is about a mile of forested dunes to The Lake, and what did i find, a hobbit home, complete with canopy. 

The Exuberant Funeration

perfect little
whirlwinds
swirl the way
calling me
out to play
water sand
dunes and trees
so melancholy
nothing matters
still happy
nothing does
and the wind cried
mae be

the bad news is it's even necessary
the good news is some people care

my area has a history with the EPA
$13 million recently to clean up Ruddiman Creek
(mcgraft park area)
June 2009 NOAA gave a $10 million grant
to clean up industrial fill- nearly 800 acres
or 10% of muskegon lake's shallow waters and wetlands -
and lumber era debris, from ten areas on the south side of the lake
it's estimated to take about a decade before the area is history with the EPA

The Muskegon NOAA GLERL (great lakes environmental research laboratory) facility is housed in the former historic 1905 U.S. Life Saving Service station, renovated in 2005. The Life Saving Service, which was renamed the U.S. Coast Guard, has its Muskegon operations adjacent to the NOAA building.
