Foreword
Steven Duncan
We inherit from our ancestors gifts so often taken for granted. Each of us
contains within our fragile vessels of skin and bones and cells this inheritance
of soul. We are links between the ages, containing past and present expectations,
sacred memories and future promise. - Edward Sellner
Warmest,
Steven

Getting Rubus Ideas
Steven Duncan
Take me back
to the raspberry bush
grandly overhanging
my neighbors picket fence
vaulting in arabesque
from unknowable heights
drooping long and limp
in the afternoon heat
flaunting its red temptation
like an irresistible stoplight:
red means stop
red means yield
red means go
bulbous summer ornaments left on display
unguarded by thorns of conscience
so much riper than my morality,
so devastatingly sweet.

On Mother's Day
Gary Duncan
On Mothers Day this tribute I express
to you for my childrens lives you bless
with love and tender sweet caress
how beautiful your gift of happiness.
I thank my Father in Heaven above
for leading me to the perfect mate I dreamt of
and sending us angel children on the wings of a dove
that we may all bask in the warmth of your love.
How often I marvel as you nurture with care
and teach our children the gospel with wisdom so rare.
Carefully and thoughtfully with patience to spare,
you lead them to Light with the love that you share.
You are a marvelous mother in all that you do.
I love you so much and admire you too.
Thank you for giving your love unselfish and true;
thank you for being wonderful you.

My Angel Pants
Lyman Duncan
I put on my gunny sack drawers
and gosh, they were so very holy
I called them my angel pants.
I turned my face to blush
for in the stillness of the hush
I thought I could hear you say
in your soft soprano way:
Whats this strange shape before my eyes
whose limbs and torso description defies?
Then I see in another glance
its old Lym in angel pants.
What thats a dimple I see
on that knocking knee!
And, why, yes it is so,
theres hair upon his chest!
Still, I wonder if theres a chance
hell do the hoola in his angel pants.
Now quit laughing at my flaws
for Im just a martyr for the cause.
For here stand I, in song and dance
stealing the show in angel pants
and I guess its not so very bad
even if my shape is all I had.
But in all the days to be
they will be ever dear to me
(these memories that I hold
of the show that I stoled)
in my gunny sack drawers
my angel pants.

His Gift
Misha Duncan
I wanted to give something to the Lord.
so I gave all I had - all I was
my whole heart
wrapped in ribbon and courage
called to serve - set apart.
Even added some lace, to my box
full of time.
For the life He gave freely,
what was 2 years of mine?
Placed my might in the corner, next to
heart, mind, and strength.
Here's my will for Thy work, Lord
here's my voice - I'll be brave.
In the Savior of all
all my days I'll believe.
Tell the world of the news -
!
Glancing down at my gift, in my small
hands it layed.
Now unfit seems, insufficient
box too small, ribbon frayed.
My voice too uncertain, my heart
full of holes.
Thought my might would be stronger
thought they'd listen, but they won't.
32
That my box wasn't full, couldn't bear
Him to see.
All I had was not hardly
what a King's gift should be.
As my box then seemed empty, what I
didn't see
was that each day He filled it.
It was Him, never me.
He sent those who were ready, to small,
simple me.
Words that I failed to understand
He did, perfectly.
Like five loaves and two fishes, He my
gift magnified.
Every day in my weakness,
He had been by my side.
Where my love had not filled, He had poured
in His own.
Where my willing voice wavered,
His sound word calmed their storm.
My words spoke to their ears, but He
to their heart.
As His work marches forward
He let me be a part.

Praying to Dad
Steven Duncan
I know I cant
pray to people
who arent God.
But I do sometimes
when Im alone.
I talk to my dad
and ask him
why he had to die.
I tell him
that I miss him, but
I cant even see his face anymore.
I say Im sorry
and I dont know the reason why.
I tell him, I love you.
and wait for him to say it back.
Every time I hope that.
I tell him my regret:
I didnt hurt enough
if pain is the measure of
my love for him.
And I never say amen.

Pioneer Children
Steven Duncan
We panned
for gold in the
sand. The brim of
my hat stretched
across California,
outsourcing shade
to Joshua trees.
As the heat churned
through dusty porches,
my sister
curled into
a paper doll.
Her bonnet strings
hung crossed,
twill cotton
collecting
words we whispered.
We caught summer
off guard,
playing out a memory
that wasn't our own.
Then came
plans to
pan for gold
in the bedtime sky.
That night,
our borrowed hats
were a eulogy.

A Portrait of the Missouri Mobs
Joel Hills Johnson, abridged
45
Come, let us drive them from their home,
or soon such numbers theyll obtain,
the Abolitionists will come
and take away our place and name.
And now to make ourselves appear
like men of fame, and great renown;
our consciences well quickly sear,
a lying spirit swallow down.
Then go abroad, and loud proclaim,
the Mormons wont our laws obey;
they cheat and steal, lie and defame,
and get their riches in this way.
And now to rid ourselves of them,
our countrys laws we will disdain;
well plunder, burn, rob, kill, condemn
and charge the Mormons with the same.
46
Then all were forcd to leave the State,
robd of their clothing, goods and food;
their suffrings were extremely great,
by cold and hunger on the road.
No orphans cry, nor widows moan,
can pity or compassion find;
in winter cold, they must be gone,
with firesides to the mob resignd.
Old vetrans too, of seventy-six.
who once have fought for Liberty,
and bled, our righteous laws to affix,
are driven now by tyranny.
Twelve thousand souls, both young and old
were from their homes and houses cast,
to starve and perish in the cold,
without a shelter from the blast.
Description fails to paint the scene,
of horror, misery and distress;
yes, native language is too mean,
to paint it with its proper dress.
O! has that freedom disappeard,
for which our Fathers fought and bled;
has despotism so soon reard,
with anarchy, its deformed head?
O Liberty! where hast thou gone?
O Patriotism! whither fled?
And thou, O Justice! art not known,
O whither, whither hast thou hid?

Spring and Fall
Elvin Duncan
Spring or Fall?
Can such a change be boring?
Or can enough ever be said?
Both of them are slightly damp
but - when do they start?
And - when do they end?
These seasons are good for getting ready
but they don't always say enough on their own
they're a transition
In the Fall you can rake up
what the Springtime introduced
you know -
little blossoms -
autumn leaves
the robin and then the squirrel
kites and then jack-o'-lanterns
school's out - then -
summer's over - too soon!
Make way for these seasons -
they live up to their names!

In the Dark
Steven Duncan
Loving you was like
getting dressed in the dark.
Eyes open and blind,
my fingers searched for the
fabric of your skin.
I traced your cotton curves
and trusted.
In the day, I discover
shirt half untucked, part unbuttoned,
a sock folded under,
not my belt,
what I felt
in the dimness of my lover
wasnt wrong,
but it wasnt right.
Loving you was like
getting dressed in the dark.
I pulled you over my head
like a hoodie
but couldnt find an exit.
My breathing grew thin
as you smothered me.
As I smothered myself with you.
I pulled you apart in every direction
searching for a way out,
impatient for air,
hands tight,
not knowing
that love could ever be
backwards like that.
So inescapable all of the sudden.
50
Loving you was like
getting dressed in the dark.
Eyes open and blind,
my fingers found their way to
the pull-cord lamp.
I never meant to regret you.

The MTV Generation
Nicole Wilson
The whirr, the buzz,
the thumpin beat.
A flash of well-timed light.
Skinny girls in string bikinis
breasts bouncing like ripe apples
guys with chiseled arms and abs,
tattoos, holes gaping in their ear lobes.
Shoes with ridiculous laces, much too big.
She beams as she announces spring break
with not-so-subtle
sexual overtones.
His defined features respond in perfect time
as if animated by a cartoonist.
I too am sucked into it all -
the fantasy
as I lie sick in bed
fever of one hundred and two
drool draining on one side of my face
eyes repeatedly drawn to the next 30 second fix
and then I wonder...
dont people realize?
Its all a lie
carefully designed
to make you feel youre not up to par
52
in an attempt to hide
your huge imperfections
before someone takes notice.
On what channel do watch to learn about
wisdom
humanity
peace?
No wonder I go out into the world
and encounter
face
after unconscious
face
and only on rare occasion
meet a pair of eyes with light behind them.
The rest are tuned-in, tuned-out, numb.
Misrouted onto a path of self-doubt
consumed by manufactured fears
and will die never knowing that its all a distraction
as communities are replaced by megaplexes
while we do irreparable damage to our precious planet
while billions go without food, shelter, and medicine
and CEOs play golf.

Presumption
Steven Duncan
The day I was delivered,
the doctor found an infection
boiling through my shrunken lungs.
It ravaged my fragile frame
scorched my skin,
marked me red as my mothers blood,
marked me for its own.
Some people die by fire;
I was born at the stake.
For ten days I incubated
a nestling trapped in the carnage
of tangled tubing and wire
a crude sort of nursery
for faulty fledglings
that will never fly.
A plastic box for babies
waiting to die.
Against the odds,
they hatched me from a hope.
I didnt wait nine months for nothing.
Growing up, I learned that life is easy
if you just follow the rules.
Speak your mind, but hold your tongue.
Save your money, dont be cheap,
be smart, but pretend you dont think you are.
Express your feelings,
Will you stop looking sad?
Tell the truth, keep that to yourself.
Stand out, blend in.
Be curious, woah, but not too many questions.
That would be presumptuous.
57
This icy advice washed through my mind
rattling like a cocktail shaker
into a brain
still far too young to drink.
Presumptuous.
Just then, I felt the plastic
press up against my heart again.
My mother always loved opals.
She said its because they can never decide
what color they really are.
And so all at once
theyre shimmering white, and glimmering gold,
and pink, and green, and blue.
Have you ever seen such beautiful indecision?
When the world seems too much of any one color,
my mother lends me her opal eyes
and I see true.
There are times when I wonder
who decided we must color inside the lines
when the wall makes such a beautiful canvas?
From birth, I was bred to behave,
be polite, manners, lower your voice,
my first words were an apology.
They said to aspire is arrogance.
You cant assume
the world will bend
when you push it.
58
We seed our children with low expectations
so they wont ever be disappointed.
Our cynicism is an injection
we vaccinate against rejection
inoculate from pain
but only end up immune to dreaming bigger.
Hospital incubators are not safe places,
they are cages, and Ive done my time.
IV dripping, veins filling
with be more realistic
ventilator pumping polite, polite,
its not bad to be polite,
but do we sacrifice too much
to protect what is only an image?
If the image is our own,
is that not a form of worship?
It hurts peoples eyes to shine
when theyve been kept in the dark.
The world needs an opalescent spark.
Think me presumptuous,
lay it on me like a winter coat -
its just another layer.
But do not tell me to stay put.
I was born with fire in my lungs,
dont think Ive forgotten.

You
Gary Duncan
Dark days when life's clouds rained sorrow
my eyes lifted to God for relief
I knew He in Whom I trusted
would answer my prayers of belief.
The windows of heaven opened
celestial light my hurt undo
divine Gift to humble servant
Heavenly Father sent me you.
From my heart so meek and tender
the teardrops fall like gentle rain
a lump in my throat makes it hard to say
thank you for healing my pain.
Words falter to express gratitude
I'll esteem you forever through
when with soft words and tears
you look in my eyes and say you.
In through the windows of your soul
I gaze deeply into your heart
there lives a beauty wonderful
a beauty sweet that you impart.
I tell you that you are lovely
my eternal love for you is true
you smile - I quiver helplessly
in love as you whisper, 'you'.
61
Your face shines with love and virtue
spiritual perfection, you for me
I strive to be the man you deserve
that God must think I can be.
My desperate prayer, my hope of hopes
that always you may love me, too
I feel it so, your heart speaks to mine
whenever your lips say, 'you'.
I melt inside when you hug me
when you kiss me, with joy I cry
with gentle voice and soft caress
burns the flame of love in your eye.
I give my heart to you
all my eternal life through
you are my dream come true
my Dear Love, please say, 'you'!

Adams apple?
Wed be like two children in puffy jackets, pink and blue etchings

Campfire Embers
Lyman Duncan, abridged
They played by day
and sang by night
by a campfire bright.
Then by bugle call,
echoing on the lake,
they were off to slumber
the star-bright night away.
I loved those carefree nights
and the low glowing fire light
where eager faces looked on
sang softly some cowboy melody
and stilled to the tale
of a well spun yarn.
There was hope and love
and future humanity
around that fire.
When they were off to dreams
tucked snugly in bed,
and day was done,
I watched the glow
to the last lingering ember
and dreamed myself
to sleep.
Our beds were of pine boughs
our roofs the azure sky
huge spruce we had for walls
and mountain slopes our doorstep;
little wonder then
we played the livelong day?
69
Fish frying in the pan
biscuits in the old Dutch oven
taters stewing too,
and wild berries for dessert
for gorging appetites
it all tasted mighty good.
There were logs, rafts and canoes
along the little lake shore
peaks to be climbed
and trails to explore.
We tracked the fleet buck by day
and hear the night birds at dark
then it was time
to be off to school
but young hearts were yearning
for the day when youd be returning
to mountain stream and waterfall
and day is done their bugle call.
To this very day
when only years
have made me old
I remember too well
some of their tiny faces
and laughing, smiling ways.

Lessons of Life

Lessons of life
elusive to learn
some I avoid
for others I yearn.
Father in His wisdom
watch as I try
and withholds His hand
when falling I cry.
Higher Love than I can fathom
allows me to fall
greater Mercy than I deserve
allows me to rise when I call.
The love of my mother
gave Him me to understand
lift my eyes upward
see the light of His command
"As I have loved you
love one another"
for earthly best example
the love of my mother.

Paddle Your Own Canoe
George Washington Johnson
88
Gain many friends, yet trust but few;
guard well the words you say,
for you will many a traitor find
in passing on your way.
When words are spoken carelessly,
they oft much mischief do;
speak kindly or speak not at all,
but paddle your own canoe.

Kiki and Bouba
Brian Duncan
Image by Andrew Dunn, CC Attribution-ShareAlike (covered under fair use)
Bouba draws us near to her. For each of us, standing on the
plush carpet of the factory floor, Bouba is many things. She is soft edged
and warm, like a hot water bottle. She is both yielding and firm, like a
hotel pillow. Every morning she calls to us and we gather under the
folds of her cape, then Bouba sings to us in bell-like tones.
Bouba is soft like the fragrant, mossy hills of earth. When we
close our eyes, we roll and sway on the gentle swells of her voice; were
carried along harmonic currents to warm, shifting places.
We have worked under Boubas guidance for many years, and
yet it has never felt like work. She hums tirelessly as we craft creatures
both fantastical and realistic in her factory, each hand-stitched with
care. We never hurry in our labor. Each charming creature we create is
given eyes that appear intelligent and alive, and each is stamped with
love from the makers hand, a love which originates in and flows
through us from Bouba.
This good morning, as on many others, she calls to us and we
gather under the velvet folds of her cape. However, today, as we huddle
and warm under its quivering edges, we sense something different in
Bouba, and it makes us uneasy. It is hard to grasp. We try to grasp it. It
slips. We try again, and recognize a dropping of dominoes, a collapsing
of inner pillars. The sensation is frightful and abrupt: a disjoint
fragment of a cut scene brought to a cold stop.
We look to Bouba for comfort but
her balloon body bursts and we are flung far from her, hitting
the hard, corrugated metal of the factory floor. From where we lay
dazed and chopped and confused we can see now that where the
softness of Bouba once was there now menaces a new sharp being: a
tall, radiant ball of spikes, a sentient static sunburst. Each glinting point
of it sputters and sparks.
93
A mouth at the center of this malevolence shrieks: Kiki! Her
needles extend and threaten us, and
we are back to work; the machines clank and sputter and cough.
The conveyer belts wobble and squeak: kiki, kiki, kiki. The cotton we
use to stuff the toys is now stiff, yellowed and full of weevils. The
cotton we use to stuff the toys is now clumps of bathroom hair, dirty
nickels and pennies; it teems with lice and shredded diatoms.
The speed at which we must now sew causes us to prick our
fingers. Drops of blood stain our creations, smear the edges of their
crooked lips and mismatched eyes, eyes which now stare up as us with
expressions deranged and lustful with hatred for their makers.
At the end of the day, Kiki will not let us sleep, nor will she let
us sing. As we stand and sway in fatigue and pain, each new jab of Kikis
spikes extracts our soft-bodied memories, electrocutes them, dissolves
our dreams into an ozone smoke. There never was a Bouba. As we
forget what the past holds for us and force our eyes to see reality, our
only lullaby is Kikis paroxysmal, staccato screech.

In the Summertime
if you just wink an eye
you can go from

at least it seems that way
the nighttime grows too short
but still you live for it
and just for it
And though you may revel
through another day
it's just to make it there
for one more chance
yeah, and you'll take a little chance
for romance
'Cause romance is a flower
that blooms best at night
and in the heat
and don't you know it?
And can't you feel it?

The orchard, too, where oft Ive sat
and watched the busy bee,
was just the samethe bees were there
as they were wont to be.
The barn, the corn house, and the spring
where oft, in summers day,
Ive knelt beside to get a drink
when tired of boyish play,
the Gulf-lot, where I drove the cows,
as I to school did go,
to learn to read, and write, and spell
just fifty years ago.

His face is already red
his posture stooped forward
reminding us that jogging is really a constant
falling and catching oneself
his mouth is too open
his eyes squint in the sun
focused inward, one can hear his thoughts
a stream of self-assurances, of keep doingits and go-ons and bravos
and greats and youcans and youwills
remember how great this will feel
remember how much energy you will have
his speed speaks to a desire he has not yet achieved
an overreaching of ability
fools no one
impresses no one
hes too tired to feel impressed himself
he will go too far and soon, when he sees the
woman who lives on his block,
the one he says hi to when they pass on the stairs
jogging the other way,
he will take the step that he wont be able to
catch
and fall into the sidewalk
and become concrete

Muscle Memory
Steven Duncan
My shoes collect
dust, but not
for want of wear.
These canyon reds
know me by name,
call out in the summer
for companionship
and I answer
with heated breath.
These trails resound like an echo
Ive heard before, racing
through the valleys rift.
Mountains pool
like loosely folded linens
and lift me
to a virgin vantage.
I pour a secret
into the azure lake below,
and nightfall
promises to keep it.
These stone striations
111
guide the bracing river
as it bends
to the horizon
and I follow
never lost,
always returning.

Concrete Poem
Misha Duncan
Walk down the
hallway, glance right and left. Everyones
eyes are judging without thinking twice.
Someone youve never said a word to has an opinion
about you. The importance of nicely combed hair or the shape
of a nose in the eyes of onlookers is astounding. But those
things shouldnt matter. A kind person, one who
opens a door for someone, helps out a friend,
comforts someone lost, is beautiful
in my eyes.
