Earth's Eulogy
Mothers have come
from throughout Earth
to bury our post-Trumpian dead.
Bringing both gifts and lamentations
as each finds appropriate
for healing
what cannot be stanched
and scabbed.
As gathering
we choose who will speak among us,
for this Earth eulogy.
At last our voices conjoin as bilateral one,
speaking back through history
and forth toward fading lack of future.
We have come from left to right,
north and south,
west through east,
patriarchal states
and matriarchal families
to bury our dead children
sacrificed for bipolarizing divisions
unwilling to wait
for this our dipolar co-arising
of healing cooperative polities
bilaterally harmonic co-investments
in Earth's Original CoIntelligence.
We have come to bury and burn depleting polarities
but also to praise cooperative dipolarities
transforming this global revolution
away from climates of pathology,
here buried
burning climates of health regenerativity
here praised,
celebrating conflagration,
honored with both sacred and secular blood
of Earth-natured dispiriting loss.
We bury patriarchal losses to envy
and nationalism's violent criminalizing greed
for lethal commodities,
once our productive sons and daughters
born through matriarchal love reborn.
We burn
in celebrated loss,
cut off from our resonant futures
through this inferno stink
of human flesh in cedar casket trees
no longer standing solidarity
of embryonic birth.
Our wombs like seeds
extend back
toward Earth's first emerging dawn
now expiring
in this last flame of funereal dusk.
We disperse with silence
into this night,
each alone together
celebrating future songs
of praise for incentivizing peace
ever more resonantly co-resolving,
redeeming cooperative economies
of life for living love
not death for dissonant despair.
We witness this long new moon night
and following dawn
breaks to summarizing bottom-line headlines
for Mother Earth evolving stories,
turning creolization right side up
with multicultural agreements,
ecopolitical consensus.
No more
begin with war
to then follow by dividing up
the Father's devolving spoils
for future competitions
in aggressive capital
self-inflation.
For ever more
default with WinWin peaceful resolutions
following resonant reweaving
of matriarchal regenerational co-investment,
multiplying healthy nutritional wealth,
polypathic dipolar,
co-arising polyphonic bounty
back to time's embryo,
this dynamic universe's original
enculturing intent.
