Circling Muses

Music
especially sacred music
feels round

Not such clear lines
prescribing desecrating marches
needing to move somewhere
noting something
speaking against someone
in StraightWhite privileged time

Right/Left balancing divas
sometimes sing in resonant rounds,
round
and round
in circling spirals
never-ending spectral ribbons
eventually blending communion,
emphatically good-spirited
and not dogmatically ill-natured.

So,
to liberated lovers
lusting Left
toward green cooperative choices

And,
to conservative clingers
leaning Right
toward red competitive voices

If you must shout
to overcome dissent

If you can't sing
and, preferably, dance
all our circling positions
recycling postures
resonating preferences
policies for round
robust
regenerative win-wins

Mind bodied pleasure,
spirit natured peace,
time-spaced Paradise

Then you may be ready
for a lack luster
not really healthy
economic
and political performance

But not yet roundly mature enough,
just yet,
to sing and dance
our multi-cultured communion
prayers

Spiraling in-between
universal root
and unitarian crown
round looping chakras

Circling
and recircling
polyphonic sound
and polypathic sight,
wellbeing sung
and wellness danced.
