Global Bucket Lists
My list of domestic chores
vocations
avocations
I no longer wish to know and do
grows longer with each advancing year.
And, because I live with no one
capable and willing to work with me,
side by side,
or even in alternating shifts
and loads
and harvests
and plantings,
it is difficult to grow experientially sure
my motivation has faded entirely,
whether with at least one Other,
or by myself
with only nonhuman fully-abled natures
for song and dance accompaniment.
But, what of my non-domestic bucket list?
That larger stage of ecofeminist transformation,
ecovillage healthy wealth invitation,
sanctuary, green and/or multi-colored celebration
for compassionately resilient
and nutritional communication,
active hope,
sacred trust vocation
for
and of
and within Earth's warmly integral home
and Great Transitional heated heart potential.
No bucket I could imagine
would fill all these polypathic double-binding destinations
becoming wealthy here
and trans-regenerationally healthy throughout time
communioned here as now
to my remembering mind
This further fortune future-hunting heart
fulfills my whole EarthBucket
with passion's perpetually young
embodied co-investments
transcending past wealth
through immanent
imminent future inclusive health
resonant within all EarthTribe.
