Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Parallelismus Membrorum

Dancing Pequot River

Flying free
in rooftop ecstasy

Raptor's wings direct
with feathered pins strong, erect
swelling mountain chests
then wings 
brought safely down
protecting Earth's 
most sacred wounds.

Standing Yang
with wings wide spread
Left then Right
rebalancing

Bent over filling in Yin's flow 
extending gratitude for out
bold attitude brought back in
for more sincere
out wanting more
more
more sacred practice
mindful praxis
moving axis

Practice outside Yang
with Yin within
happy together once again
in this million hole
with pole
extravagant excursion
upstream North
growing deep down South
flowing in/out surfing mouth

Dancing round root chakra
river source
to up reach
down stream right
to left dividing swings
from swelling North
gone sacred South

River's needy mouth
to feed 
time's seas
of timeless paternal peaks
opposing valleyed surf
inhaling exhaled goddess needs

Healthy seasons too tidal full
swelling now and why and how
toward empty graying skies

Anthrocentric light
invites this ecocidal night,
upstream
patriarchal might
toward down wombed woman times
round cycling source
of Great White Father fright

Root wise spread out predation
penetrating river's source
shifting toward rich mountain rivered valleys
flowing up
then down White streaming pole 
with Black uncovered silenced hole,
designing doublebinding 
God-dressed nature's inspiring
spiral views

Inviting dawn's
past sunrise dance
sweeping light
round downstream
falling failing 
EarthTribe's meager 
flowing sacred 
rivered night

Flying free
on rooftop dawning
ecstasy.
