Care for inner selfWe come to life without a choice,
And soon we start to have a voice.

And we prepare to pay the price.
When we advance in age and mind,
We also learn to...

In the Webbed Silence
In the webbed corners of my brain
There blooms a sinister flower
Its petals dripping with venom
And thick roots entwined with despair

Indigenous WisdomBack in the day,
before right hand
leftbrain dominance
became our mean girl
weaponized thing
Our bilaterally balanced grandmothers,
whether Eastern Taoists
or Western Animists

did not think to separate
Left from Right,
mind from body,
passion from pleasure,
if only because our peak...

when the big bang happened
everything called to being
from some singularity
barely anything wasted

on pyjama days
when it’s sunny outside
you said you might get dressed

north and south
colonize and creolize
transcendent and indigenous

AZOTH--Pick A Title Poetry Contest~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

to cure my sloth?
it may well make
my mind like quicksilver
sending me messages from
the mouths of gods
at round about 80wpm

Bye Bye Fat MeI can’t believe it’s really me
Waist to head, I’m a Christmas tree
From this fat, I’ll never be free
A healthy life I’ll never see
