Best Evolutionary Poems

Act 1: Earth

Water
Droplets fall to earth
Meniscus lens on the world -
Wellspring of life born

Air
Gaseous brew forms
Invisible elixir - 
A breath of fresh air

Fire
Destructive, cleansing
But giver of warmth and light – 
Fire’s dual perspective

Act 2: Plant

Leaf
Spring buds burst afresh
Summer leaves decay so soon – 
Death lords...

I'm sure it was Rob Brezsny, again,
who first pointed out to me
that Western psychoanalysts give priority to pathologies within family relationships,
while Eastern analysts, more embedded in philosophies of interdependence,
begin with what nurturing health dynamics we can find
within those same family relationships,
for it is these,
after all,
that...

In the event there is a God who or which works in mysterious ways. Perhaps a devil would work in mysterious ways as well. Maybe more or possibly way more mysteriously ways....

Evolutionary machine churns on and on
love is just a con
what we see is seems simple
to the machine just a dimple
how do we interpret how we feel
we are not even one spoke in a wheel
like ants in a nest
our instincts do not rest
why do we pursue...

Anger, it seems to be all I know...
the fire that burns my insides till
I just want to burst like a volcano
who's lava is made up of salty tears

Frustration, is all I can feel when I
think of all that is you
Harsh memories that tare me at...

Darwin's finches.
Galapagos turtles kiss,
Snuggle together under the sun.
Webbed feet to swim
Our friend LeMarck was wrong
We can never get what we need 
When we need it....

The unknown that is
Always surrounding
So close while hidden
An often stranger
Passing by old friends.

Seeking knowledge
Never ending
Frightening some
Until ignored.

Strength to see
Questions rise
Holding close

Unknown
Welcome

Mind....

I stand here watching you
in this city of cages,
imbibing of the scents and sounds
unknown to me.
I see myself reflected in you.
Your walk, similar to mine.
The way you hold your infant
as she suckles.
In your eyes I see... a soul?
As I stare at their brown pools,
it's as...

The funky monkey in golden coat
has risen above diseased scapegoat
able to express in diverse form's
able to understand outside the norm
no longer being led as a carnival jester
no longer wounded with sores that fester

The funky monkey has reached the top rung
bellowing his song to be heard...

Oh, when did evolution end
Or was it just a passing trend
That ran its course and then got worse
Or is it just a fading curse

For monkey’s would deny such kin
That say they are the root of men
For even the most vile Jackals
Ever put their foes in...

Day 1
I am a wheelchair warrior
It is August-Hel's rune ,Ear is here
What needs to die in the next 5 days?
That which hinders  growth anyways
US sends USS Georgia to Hell's Armpit
Bad move by America, I fear
Lloyd Austin sent the orders ,he's a twit
Is Ragnarok knocking...

How far can we carve into matter?
Sell bogus dreams, ourselves, our love?

How long can we pretend
And bring new generations on this planet

In three thousand years
Of civilization 
There has been three hundred
For peace
But not a real peace
Just a preparation, a breath
For war

How long can we ignore
Our...

Cantos Uno  Obsessive Eclipse Octavia
Israel  is like a mote on mankind’s face 
Born on May 14 1948 ,
A host of problems a bloody disgrace 
I see two  eclipses to change it’s fate,
A lunar eclipse Sept 7  next year
 A rotten tepid...

I have confronted family,
and acquaintances
at the edge of my familiars
to understand my hurt
when they economically
and politically
and socially
and monoculturally
StraightWhiteMale privileged support
RightWing LeftBrained
Patriarchal-Capitalism

Because my Kids of Color,
with physical and mental,
natural and spiritual challenges,
lack of LeftBrain full accessibility

And my GayBlackMale husband
and GayWhiteMale me
feel unfairly
and dispassionately targeted,
marginalized,
offended
by corporate RightWing
Republican...

("Exploded View", 2011, original oil and acrylic)

Asymmetrical Cultural Warfare

Both people and traditional cultures value symmetry;
In humans it indicates healthy genes,
In Cultures it’s probably the same,
Indicating balanced and enduring values.

The modern world offers an exception to the rule;
A deconstruction of our nature
Into its primary components and...
