Best Councils Poems
Prince of This World
Prince of this world,
you've meddled in the affairs of mankind
since the beginning
From the time of the Egyptian pharaohs,
whose gigantic pyramidal tombs
had been built primarily by slave labor
A living testament to man's ingenuity and cruelty
Then you were behind the Assyrian reign,
carnage was the calling card hallmark

The Lady of LabyrinthIn light of locution
whispers
dance delicately off her lips
"Lux Vitae"
Tree of Life,
Trinity,
tribal councils conferred
the coffers, re-offers
enriched and enhanced
erectus
three times three
smoke rises from the ash
and anew you glow
a river of gold
connecting
the body to the soul
blue of sky
the sun of spirit's eye

Awakening to the Red Road: An Ecopoetic Odyssey 'Part 6 of 6'Sacred Earths Tiny Dancer
Arise, My Beloved! I say, Arise, My Love!
For you are a Sacred Dancer
In the Great Spirit's grand and glorious ceremony—
A hallowed space where
Ancient mountains spirited stories in stone.
Valleys cradle the songs of hidden streams,
Their banks are a living topiary of green medicine.
Autumn...

Wisdom's Marching CouncilI know you invited the Brothers to side-line along,
but only if we are here to listen;
Don't speak.
Yet I may have credential for qualifying voice.
For I, like some of you,

multicultural enriching relationships
with our African-American husbands and lovers.

The Snail Will Get To Easter Just As SoonFaulkner's comment, I imagine him
tossing it off like Yogi Berra between games
of a doubleheader. The hero, the expert, the virtuoso
has no real control, is going to feel
unmitigated, unsparing forces, a mighty sun
swallowed by a black hole, coughed up into a big sky.
The past isn't dead....

Jesus Told MeJesus taught and lived
Those who follow the Way

Life, rather than punishing death,
would be known
by our love,
especially for our enemies.
He did not say, or live,
Those who punish themselves and others with death threats
and war planning
and technology design
and nihilistic absence of healthy purpose
would be TruthLivers
known as restorative...

co-arises with what were our ForeFather Patriarchal Patriots
thinking and feeling to leave out prohibitions against antiChristian degeneracy,
and to put in permissions for antiChristian degeneracy.
No.

Peasants of the PlaybookPeasants of the Playbook
You’re peasants of the playbook
Yet you think you know the reason
For the failure of the team

Questioning the mastery
Of a coach as good as two
By what...
