Yes, travel rivers of the world
and rivers of the soul
and rivers of the mind.

​JANUARY 2023:

Awake at dawn
 
upending my camping mug
for a drink,
at dawn,
but no water slurp;
almost empty--
 
except for a gray web’s net
rim to rim;
below, a dark spider
silent dwelling
--

APRIL 2022:


Retreaded, not yet board and carded
 
I’m retreaded but road-tired,
Rolling across cantankerous land
Though, thank heavens—knock around
On pavement
And redwood,
Not yet sent off to a ‘board and card’ mansion,
Rehearsing...
 
You know where decks and bingo
“Was a dog…” chips or
Markers
Define the tokened measures of your/our life--
 
Or where, too
Reclining and breathing entertain you/us.
 
Or tipped-wobbly with 4-wheels and unfeeling-ed feet
I walker about at Morro Strand beach-coast
Staggering in wonder...
Here
Until my brief spark of awed experience embers out
 
Gone...
 
Yet
This cosmos Ultimately
Transcendent

FEBRUARY 2022:

Meditation on Shimmering Palms
 
On more days and nights, an invalid,
In pain and loss, I often just want to go…
Unconscious;
But then, again, I stare out
To the wind and sun
From our upstairs
Window;
 
There tower above, 2 lone palms
In sight from my weak haven,
Swaying in that blue expanse
In a lively coastal wind,
Their mop-tops of slender fronds
Shimmering
Like flashing magnesium flares
From brilliant reflecting
Sunshine.
 
Those two undulating sentinels dance
over/above my fading consciousness,
Ailing awareness--
Unconscious guards,
While I lay here filled with sacred
Remembrance, mindful
Of my former festive living,
Becoming, and doing….
 
Yes, the wonder of being a human primate
Living, but finite, so brief, and this
Gift, this Present
Shimmering--
Then we’re gone.
 

Dan Wilcox,
the mutant poet:-)

JANUARY 2022: 

FLOATERS--a poetic reflection on coastal warm days, shortly before winter
 
I’m spent to despair,
For lost hope yearning,
Tried for years to rescue others
Caught in tangled news hours
Of hellish hate, intolerance, despair,
 
Wrong right-leftist spinners,
Those creedalists and secularists
Both deniers of the morally real--
Their abyss of modern sheol winter
Stop!
Abandon this somber cellared lament!
 
Instead,
My sweetheart suggests, Let’s visit
A coastal winery,
Say, I do,
We do.
 
Driving along a winding river valley,
We arrive, expectant,
Hoping for respite;
Then, listening to soft music,
Sipping small glasses of moscato and merlot
 
Enjoying a glad lackadaisical day,
Mellow and casual,
Light of heart,
Carefree, contented
In California’s autumn’s wonder
Below tall sycamores and elms;
 
After Thanksgiving before winter;
We bask in 86-degree warmth,
When unexpectedly a slightly curled
Leaf floats down before
My eyes,
And lands gently on my lap,
A died wonder for us to behold;
 
Then another drifter
Lets go from a large limb above,
A deep rust-brown leaf spattered
With light tan highlights and vein-lines,
Descends in front of us,
 
Swaying back and forth,
Languid,
Lightly
Floating down
Inches away from us,
Landing nearby
On the lawn;
 
I lay with my head way back,
Gazing up to the sky's azure blue,
As other gifts let go every few moments
From high above,
Swinging wide and graced,
 
Falling beauty in slow motion,
Floating, swaying;
I realize—here, now--
With this Present--
I could die free, released.

October 2021: 
​

Hearts-full, Not location or creed
 
But Evangelicals live for US First
They're group-egotists, of that proud sort
 
Water piped in from Mono Reservoir
Lush grass, high-tech, enlarged houses and store;
 
But down below, poor refugees get Walled out
Live in patched together plastic tents,
 
Preyed upon by ruthless cartel killers;
Near their shack and Jesus church of prayer
 
There peasants, Manuel and Miriam grow
Food on their small acre of stony ground,
 
Open kind actions, smiles, warm with zest and care;
Their hearts-wide, simple lives touch others here.
 
Not Evangelicals! those proud braggers
Lost from love’s generous kind country.

MAY 2021:


Flighting Surprise

In my morning mug
Cold milk, washed blue berries
Dark and delicious
Lay waiting for another swig

Wait; what’s that?
Adhering--a wispy white feather

Or more briefly:

flighting surprise

in my morning mug--
adhering to wet blue berries
a wispy white feather
--

humming attack

wearing my fiery red shirt
for Christmas, I open our
sliding glass door;
sudden jolt in front
of my startled face--
a flash of feathers hum-buzzes,
darts within inches of me;

but away it flits left
back to that flowering bush
along our fence--
me a reject

--

side of the road

gray shadowed mail box
overwhelmed green, red-purple
bloomed jungle wonder
--

Twilight: Crossing Shimmering Streams into Dusk and Stars

--

fall back to autumn

treetops blazing gold
with the last light of this day--
we lift our eyes

A Psalm of Late Life

Color Me Fiery Intense Red

As a kid, expressive, creative, rambunctious,
something of a wild card
long into adulthood
I loved vibrant Green--
for abundant life, for exuberant energy, vividly alive
for beauty like in colors, emerald or jade,
for the natural world from creek to patch of woods
behind our house on the edge of Adams village,
to verdant forest green glens of the Sierras, Sequoia and Yosemite
 
But--
then, suddenly, unexpectedly, without conscious why;
spontaneous, impulsively one day in middle life,
I awoke
not liking green anymore…
viewing green instead as dull, insipid,
sickening, repetitious, odd,

over-done, humdrum…
 
Color me fiery Red--
riveting, intense, striking sparks of light
cardinal, crimson, scarlet burst into my eyes and consciousness
—passionate, dazzling, blazing, heated, different…
as in exploding firework sky rockets,
as pulsing red coals in a bonfire,
as an amazing psychedelic quilt by my sweetheart
like an Impressionistic painting, luminous in our house
to ruby red lava in Hawaii’s volcano, intense sunsets,
​and Utah’s red rock

Red forever
 

--Dan Wilcox



 September 2020:

a time for…
 
In the fall a time for springing
childhood,

festivals of Monet-splashed leaves
that my sister and I raked and piled high
in the deep ditch in front
and jumped down into,

and our large garden behind the parsonage
with pumpkins, melons, and withered corn rows...
​
and lightning bugs on the wane,
flashing on and off
 
full of fall...


--

A Psalm of Late Life

Pessimist of my oldering years
Preyed upon by lamentable loss
I find no balmy psalms to lyre
But after discovered liars
Only this harp
of yawps and howls,
I pray for transcendence,
​This my modern yelled holler
My psalm of life end's exit
Dance in this sorrowing starred night


--

​

bidingTimeabiding
 
bite my teeth on famous lines
a hole lot of fragmented shells;
hunger hollows within--
deepening abyss
of lost longing
lone-ranging, reigning the distance
of a round heartless night
 
of a round heart-last light
lane-ranging, raining the day-stance
of last longing
steepening a-bless
fulness hallows within--
a whole lot of fragranced shalls;
bide my heart on famous lines

August 2020: 

bolder utah


utah boulders
 
eye widening rock
pastels bold in harvest's sun--
basalt garden wonder
--

at the park's bat box


my grandson scooping up handfuls
of dust
and swinging it loose--
fogged clouds
lighted by sunshine
that disperse
back to cleated ground

--

gull wings


gull wings
lightly spraying over gray clod fields
6-year drought--
so 'irrigating'!

In Every Crisis

When flailed, blind-sided,
Going down fast in
A basket abyss shrivel of worth-loss
And hope fails all drowned,
Do we launch deeper into the Deep?

Do we weep,
Do we shrive?
Thrive?

For in every crisis
Chry-sal-is*
 
 
--Dan Wilcox

*From crawler to butterfly--chrysalis

Even in the worst, most evil events, each of us still has the difficult possibility of heeding Viktor Frankl’s shocking words about their horrific experiences in Auschwitz Concentration Camp:
“Between stimulus [even trying to survive at Auschwitz!] and response
there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
 “As we see it, an analogous relationship between the realm of human freedom and a realm superior to man is quite imaginable, so that man is endowed with free will...”
Viktor E. Frankl

“(26 March 1905 – 2 September 1997 was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, and a Holocaust survivor, of Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Kaufering and Türkheim. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy (literally "healing through meaning") a meaning-centered school of psychotherapy…part of existential and humanistic psychology theories. He is the author of over 39 books; he is most noted for his best-selling book Man's Search for Meaning based on his experiences in various Nazi concentration camps…
In 1941 he married his first wife Tilly Grosser, who was a station nurse at the Rothschild hospital. Soon after they were married, she became pregnant but they were forced to abort the child. Tilly died in the Bergen Belsen concentration camp. His father Gabriel died in the Terezin concentration camp (Theresienstadt) in 1942. His mother and brother, Walter, were both killed in Auschwitz

--

Daniel's wandering, wondering lines have appeared in many magazines including Contemporary American Voices, vox poetica, Dead Snakes, Word Riot, Centrifugal Eye,
Write Room, Enhance, Static Movement, Counterexample Poetics, and Unlikely Stories IV. 

​Three large collections of his published poetry are in print: Dark Energy,
Psalms, Yawps, and Howls, and selah river.  And a speculative novel, The Feeling of the Earth, one of alternate history and futuristic science fiction.
 
Before that, Dan hiked through the University of Nebraska, Long Beach State (Creative Writing), Montana, Pennsylvania, Europe, Palestine-Israel, Mexico, Canada, Arizona, and many other states.   Now he resides with his quilting wife on the central coast of California. Life gets  difficult in elder age as I got a stroke of bad luck, so am mostly house-bound. But as circumstances get tough--we MUTANTS  get tougher:-).
