Best Devolves Poems
Once the Domain of BirdsBeetles, most likely, felled the giant.
A gruesome deterioration,
of a quiet magnitude,
ravaged inward.
Until, in the cold night,
root structure surrendered
from hardened ground,
to a misery of horizontal dust.
And where once the domain of birds,
was glorified above,
now gives shelter to ants and grubs.
Golden bark breathes no more.
A deathly gray...

Green Democratic EmpathyI don't think it's just me.
I find myself challenged to change LeftBrain cognitive beliefs,
languaged abstractions of personal feelings,
perhaps because it is not possible to change Right Brain's
Elder feelings of co-passionate trust
where dipolar co-arising positive pleasure
is not dissonant noisy pathology.
I discover this issue as more of...

Once Upon Healthy TimeOnce within eternal time
of pre-LeftBrain domination,
I recall breathing in
EarthMother's richly hued nutrition,
and this Other inhaling me,
purging lungs of misperceptions
that I was Her
any more or less than S/he was me.
We owned this communion together,
sacred breath co-arising
back and forth,
in and out.
It could not yet occur to...

Parallelismus Membrorum
A New DawnTheoretical abstractions,
reductive hard word choices,
to describe and prescribe spiritual experiences
are unsatisfactory for daily consumption and absorption
as they reify exceptions to your Business As Usual,
which is probably LeftBrain patriarchally dominant.
Exceptional Left-Right bicameral ego/eco-consciousness,
of natureLeft-spiritRight nondual co-arising experience,
erupts from the creolizing soil
of your diurnal polypathic
ergodically liturgical

Toxic 2018I've noticed a new favorite word
in 2018
was "toxic."
And, in on-line discussions,
a newly invested discernment
of what it might fascist imply
to lead each white privileged day
with patriarchal narcissism.
Hillary,
unlike St. Hilary,
could stand iconic for matriarchal narcissism.
It exists, like a recessive gene
in our integrity pool of compassion's unlikely opportunities,
yet...

Patriotism As Anti-OtherismPaul Tillich wrote
"nationalism hates and must always hate Judaism and prophetic Christianity."
When he spoke of nationalistic patriotism
he was thinking of fascism,
as the logical conclusion
of those more loyal to a specific supremacist space and time
than faithful to our more inclusively holonic creolization history
of a bicamerally...

Girlcutt VoicesWhat sustains life are sacred values,
so what cannot sustain becomes pathological.
Matriarchy is about nurturing and care-giving,
protecting life and conserving cooperative energies;
yet that implies that patriarchy devolves to controlling
and competitive care-receiving,
destroying life as WinLose necessary
to violently offend against further competing failures of energy.
Patriarchy: Producing for this...

Living ShardBlue men talking, standing askance.
Boasting through insecurity's dance.
Hands on their hips, changing lead.
Reacting on cue, shifting need.
Negotiating through,
judgment with a glance.
Women walking, asking what's new.
Gossip, the only bile they spew.
Hand flicks hair, waiting their turn.
No care found,
in conversational queue.
Vapid exultations,
few words ringing...

LossWhy is it so much harder
to lose than to gain?
Why does what we don’t possess
plague us so much, while all we have
is so abundant?
Is it a kind of Darwinian determinism?
Determined to hunger for what we imagine?
Gratification devolves into disappointment
in an instant.
Like food fed into...

The HinterlandDemocracy devolves into tyranny, Plato cautioned.
Flooded by the frigid torrent of factionalism,
will we certify his prediction?
Blinded by the prevarication of public discourse.
Numbed by the inundation of disinformation.
Crippled by the conspiracy of doubt.
The real deep state festers in our cortex,
a place where the charlatans of fallacy...

Feathers On My BreathThrough the operating doors,
devolves tragedy like no other.
An unending trail of blood,
on hands of a worried mother.
The operation a total success,
doctors that weave life baskets.
Death that creeps beneath them,
sealing patients into their caskets.
Piano chords bring in House,
unshaken by the finality of life.
The love for...

~in the Absence of Reality~When cacophony drizzles through razored defence
and silica devolves to radical flight;
regressing reflections, remembered absence,
with no passion for self inflicted contrite.
When each subtle arc shrouds the ragged offence
like a lovers hand when it becomes to tight,
and the ladder we ascend always goes down,
deep in the shallows,...

Little birdy said “a lot of coma coming soon”
When the earth chills down with a blood red moon
Silent shrieks abound as the brain dissolves
Big mistake on the uptake man devolves
"Wrong again!" the only right I’ve ever heard
Weaned off electronics from a full blown nerd
