Culturing Passion Seeds
We are born DNA syntax,
cryptic receipts with multigenerational redemption value,
to redeem through this incarnation
fully functional potential for ecological
co-intelligent
co-operative economic practice,
through polycultural intent,
mutual subsidiarity of peace co-passioned just rightness
declared only through solidarity in comprehensive consciousness.
Who are these would be Co-Redemptive Mentors
stalking my mirror?
Whether for good and evil
I reconnect suffering to listening,
steadfastly ambivalent,
ambidextrously languaged.
Riding Time's enculturing edge,
flying forward for hope of better
stronger
surer lasting light,
fleeting backward darkening doubtful courage
to change what I cannot co-passionately tolerate
to fulfill commitments to grow Earth's justice together
as we might
were I not a lone Redeemer anti-hero species,
prophet without Time for nature's embryonic forms
flowing full-bodied unction.
The present makes a safer home
than future's pregnant womb
or past's enslaving anthrocentric tomb
drawing analog's ecologic landscapes apart
rather than together,
double-bound stigmatic messiah wound
breathing in Eco's first while dying out Ego's last
stifling my victorious shout
"not yet...not yet"
my time portends toward climax
without sufficient Beloved Co-Redeeming Time.
Redeemer heart,
with fragile mind,
and breaking breath,
our Triumvirate Teleological Revolution,
perpetually rides suffering surf
of almost pregnant paradise.
