four by birth
and two by informal adoption.

She sang in a small querulous voice
yet spoke boldly
filled with loving...

If Thou take not our hands,
and feet,
our bodies
hosting ghostly minds,
our organic inside lives
flowing out emphatic love

We will continue to fail,
to fear,
to feel tired,
retired,
weary,
untreaded,
worn.

When I try...

Like Winter
predicts Summer

Dark grey suffering
is not yet total green forest
and blue sky loss

As one cold
lonely voice
isolating experience
need not preclude
warm
yet alone
embracing vulnerable memories
transparent images
anticipating full-bodied reconnections,
compassionate...

Sacred,
unlike corrupt,
wealth

May also become
mental health,
unlike pathology

Empowering compassion,
unlike disempowering dispassion

Co-invests in win/win

Which may also become
co-operative political partnerships

Rooted in courageous

breathing,
pregnant pauses
open toward silent
nonviolent...

critical trauma events
in these most recent
three millennia?

Why 
just my traumas?

questioning my questions
seemingly without...

into town or country setting thrust

Thin laid  ice...

Inside monotheistic ego aware
feeling
outside polytheistic co-empathic

These inside enlightened intuitions
outside verbal empowering cognitions
reflecting cooperative
in-between positive co-relationship
representing explicit wealth wants
and implied health needs

Win/Win co-relational regard
awareness
noticing all genetic...

We stayed out late at night: back then;
In the warmer months of the season
We would go down to the lake for fun.

We witnessed a wedding
of Groomed BridePassion,
Yanged Yintegrity

Groomed co-enlightened strengths
in cooperative economic space
with Bridal co-empowering flow
through sacred inter-generational time

Throughout each organically wedded network
explodes summer's green emphatic...

They are friends, 
I imagine,
Or perhaps unfamiliar
yet curious
neighbors.

These two seem to like
to lick
each other

And probably value public transparency
more than personal privacy

I wonder
how they became work...

Buying corporate profit tickets
to this June's PRIDE event
does not feel therapeutic,
where once lived public trauma.

Another annual rite
of well-bred socialization
political masturbation
with no flavor of resistance
to white-washed...

I remember feeling posh wearing a tie made out of silk.

My mind ruled the roost in my little world.
My mind is the fury below the calm water flow.
My mind is the darkness behind the blue...
