Azariah's Earth Requiem
He was too old
to speak of active hope
for ancient creamy dreams
not yet boldly told
Inviting curious homeless nomads
to imagine what we could become
if we were not yet brazenly born
into this time of tragic burning,
flooding,
predicting hunger,
thirst
and coastal drowning nakedness.
Into this epic brown despair
AzaRiah was innocently born
within fading red shadows
of a crumbling
patriarchal
all white cathedral.
She never knew an old Golden Era
of endless capital expansion
and monopolistic worship
defying GoldenRules
applied to those like her,
the least and blackest last
of Earth's Golden SpaceTime Ratio.
AzaRiah's stormy education
had no LeftBrain Ego v NotEco luxury
to ponder why 2D full moons
are also 4D revolving half-lit norms,
Why spatial nomials
predict temporal bilateral binomials,
Why positive polypaths
predict not not negative
polyphonic ultra-nonviolence,
Why binary Zero
fulfilling One bipolar Zone
predicts double-binary 0/1
wave-linear dipolar
win/win DNA resplendent co-arising Tone,
Why fractal-structured regenerativity
nativity predicts octave spiraling scales
of resonant
resilient non-degenerative issue tissues.
She was much too busy
singing with hurricane winds,
listening for flaming conflagrations
of reactionary hate,
inviting still small ecofeminist circles
to dance again with GrandMother Moon
in compassion's silent storms,
self and other recreating
perpetual healthcare perception
reception
Belonging in grateful silence
where her grandfathers
spoke with terrified tears
of Earth's great loud longing.
