Birdsong Memorials
What is your earliest memory
of sacred birdsong voices?
How is this memory
the same and different than
your internal intimate Sacred EarthMother's Song?
Of sacred gospel and secular gossip
differentiating WinWin GoodNews
from WinLose we could go either way
more discerning and hesitant strains,
and LoseLose siren screeches,
slaps,
rapes,
domestic tensions,
secular depressions
diminishing keys of synaptic revolutionary anthems
against all WinWin possible sacred resolutions.
Gospel prayers to restore well-sung justice

Without raising your hand
to ask
if I can ask
your family and neighbors
an unraised hand question
about my birdsong memories.
Especially when RightBrain repressed
and matriotically suppressed
love of green sacred patriotic ecology,
and depressed LeftBrain toxic WinLose,
Either Right divine light
or LeftistWrong adolescent
WinLose speaking and listening
only in inside self-nuclear family
WinLose EitherOr fundamentalistic voices,
not recalling outside WinWin sacred birdsong
boundary experiences
or even dramatically unable to insert comparisons
within birdsong restorative remini-senses.
Now and then,
or even each religious morning and each enculturing evening,
we might healthier cooperative remember
integrating gospel songs with outdoor birdflight WinWin anthems
best sung by strange birds
in the loser back cages
of our ecoschool classrooms,
still bicamerally trying to fit WinWin birdsong in
as anti-LoseLose
ego/eco restoring polyphonic justice
Singing inside grace
green-gospel integrity
of sacred matriarchal birdsong wombs
in and outside school-based cages.
Remembering our WinWin past flight freedoms
reweaving our WinLose co-present
not really deep learning predicament
resiliently absorbing our LoseLose pathological futures
without remembering to water
our WinWin DNA with RNA past forest flight memories,
sacred paradise
born of reforesting MotherTree

WinWin
restoration of birdsong's healing justice
Ego co-arising
eco co-gravitating,
breathing in left-silent birdsong
and out birdflight right again.
