Brown Spotted Cancers

Cancerous capitalism,
predative patriarchalism,
insist on runaway win v lose competitions
against EarthMother's resilient health
and ecofeminist resonant wealth

To fearlessly look
into mirrored medicine cabinets
noticing untherapeutic time's inevitable one way
past tense to present dense direction

******** of lines written
and rewritten
into this moment
of reweaving wonder

How resiliently limned health
reflects nutritional resonance
unlike discontinuous dominant deviance
cognitive dissonance
waving toward affectively unrooted absence
of anticipated confluence

Like tolerating personal bumps
lumps
wrinkles
mountains and valleys
of emergent panentheistically grand minds
in aging pantheistic
ancient ecologically interdependent organic bodies

Imagining climate pathological end
of healthy living green/blue Earth
predicted in commencement of cancerous capitalism
written in lines of greedy eyes
and needy ears
for anthropocentric 
monoculturing opportunity,
predative win v lose rabidity.
