Poem: Where the Spirits Light Up the Sea by Mark Tulin/The Lark

This is an ode to several of my favorite poets of the past. Many thanks to The Lark for publishing Where the Spirits Light Up the Sea.

Allen Ginsberg
howls in the wind
and repeats Kaddish 
in one long, guttural Ommm
Everything is holy
in the Great Beyond
He'll mail you to Shambhala
with a first-class stamp
Dip you in the Ganges River
Washed clean
& transformed

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
