At least there are no germs in space . . . yet. Mantra or revelation, new paradigm or shift, Big Dream or vision? It matters little where we draw our inspiration, as long as we don't push the reset button.

They come from space
From the space station

They look nice
All dressed the same

Germ free
Straight from the mission

Dream alert What is
That distant sound

Trying to get through my tinnitus?
Could that be Gabriel's horn?

I'm not ready
Spirit walk with me

I don't like this spell I'm under
Or maybe it's the new medication

New batch of guys
Fresh back from space

From the space station
Dressed for a nice photo

To lift our spirits
To get our minds off our

Tussle with our dark angel
Some will experience psychotic episodes

Specifically apocalyptic visions
If this should happen to you

Report directly
To your local shaman

If you see three young men
Dressed in blue

Returning from a space station
Discontinue medication immediately

Go to your window
And look out

Sip chamomile tea
Rehearse your exit strategy

Authors Bio:

Gary Lindorff is a poet, writer, blogger and author of five nonfiction books, three collections of poetry, "Children to the Mountain", "The Last recurrent Dream" (Two Plum Press), "Conversations with Poetry (coauthored with Tom Cowan), and a memoir, "Finding Myself in Time: Facing the Music". Lindorff calls himself an activist poet, channeling his activism through poetic voice. He also writes with other voices in other poetic styles: ecstatic, experimental and performance and a new genre, sand-blasted poems where he randomly picks sentence fragments from books drawn from his library, lists them, divides them into stanzas and looks for patterns. Sand-blasted poems are meant to be performed aloud with musical accompaniment.


He is a practicing dream worker(with a strong, Jungian background) and a shamanic practitioner. His shamanic work is continually deepening his partnership with the land. This work can assume many forms, solo and communal, among them: prayer, vision questing, ritual sweating, and sharing stories by the fire. He is a born-pacifist and attempts to walk the path of non-violence believing that no war is necessary or inevitable.
