Deep Valley Chewtoy

Perilous fall risks
these double-binding thoughts
with feelings still nascently attached
positive and negative,
often complexly ambiguous

Sad and glad
as an old calico sock
become chew toy

Stumbled over in emotive colored sequences
contrasting tasteful language
comparing visions sweet and sour,
bland touch not grand
but better than feeling bitter
qualitative resonant/dissonant scales
of magnificent maleficence 
and malicious magnificence

Narrow
overflowing 
personally compelling
dispelling private passions
remain within a high and wide inspiration
yet deep and narrow aspiring
respiring multigenerational permaculture 
of co-empathic compassion

To heal sacred MaternalEarth
and thereby correlate
all Her multiculturing
divinely languaged
singularly health-hearted
dizzying slip-shod playful business

Positive and negative
universal uniting
and severing
ecopolitically co-invested 
ego-recentering emotions

Eco-logically restorative
climate resilient growing
peaceful co-messymanic valleys
of resonant reconnection

As reliable as an old
hand knit pair 
of variegated socks
now repurposed
as sacred 
savory
scented 
salty
smokey
saliva celebrated 
chewtoys.
