THE SPACES THAT ARE LEFT
I never knew what to fill the spaces with Sometimes I didn't even see them They were disguised under many coats With hidden pockets of shallowness And oversized buttons to mismatched holes. It didn't matter most of the time Because the tailor never stopped sewing more And I was content to let them lie Beneath the growing pile of tweed And gaberdine and wrinkled...

I dreamed, as a young poet, bearded like a pard. I stood at an imagined crossroad … read...

Complexities
Life feels too complex for mere words, she curiously said aloud repetitiously anyway. I see health differently, more confluently, and yet your complex experience feels familiar, he summarily replied. I would not equate my life experience with healthy process, necessarily developing positives, although sometimes yes, especially in wombed and infantile beginnings before words became evolutionary tools to be used both for and against complexities. Language feels more...

Love's Expounded Complexities
Love is a noun in the need of finding it, once found, a verb. Love is a beast so wild haunting on its prey. Love is a drug leading to addiction. Love is a novel starting at prologue, chapters follows and epilogue as closure. Love is the sunrise born and dies at setting to await rebirth. Love is a catastrophe leaving an aftermath of destruction. Love is a disguise of melancholic grief. Love is an...

C: The best way to live is by learning to control [Ego-Left] consciousness D: by also deep learning to ecologically extend RightBrain flowing ecoconsciousness.

Androgynous Complexities
Like a dirty stain that should be removed, the once clear distinction between men and women has become murky and gray. The stain grows and smears lines and edges, the shape of men and women are remolded. Gone are the curvy feminine lines of a womanly figure, replaced by more angular lines. The bold, masculine lines of a man are softened, erased and...
