Liturgies of the Flesh

...You arrived like dusk—
not falling, but folding the sky inward,
your body a benediction
I knelt to translate.

No prayer passed my lips,
only the hush of devotion,
tongue pressed to the script...

Kingdom Within

...There is a kingdom within you -
Don’t ignore what’s shining through.
Everything flows from within,
Faith, gifts, miracles – all through Him. 

Also, the things to come, you’ll see -
Glory, powe...

Will I Find You in the End

...Hello God, are you there?
I’ve been searching for you everywhere.
Starting out in my mother’s womb 
Not very long ago,
When my life was barely beginning 
Before I began to know…

A secret accord written in breaths

...A secret accord written in breaths,
Configured in kisses and celestial caresses,
A saga-rhapsody we inscribe in flights of love,
Upon this stringless harp called Love.
Ancestral pact,
Woven from...

Play It Again

...If it's not organic
it's not sexy
and probably not all that amusing
either.

If it's up and down bipolar movement
with arms versus legs,
it's Yang male energy,
and potentially horned up
and/...

Liturgy of the Wind

...They loiter
in memory's mausoleums,
old chants, 
those gilded liturgies,
ready to resurrect
and eat through the ear
with promises
under the finery 
of polished myth.

Grafted onto our very ...

7th Generation Reorientation

...What have we learned?

What is our big 20/20 revision takeaway
from this win/lose
zero-sum failure?

To transparently cooperate
for our most inclusive win/win health
and long-term safety,

Loving Jose

...Yes, Jose,
this is another love letter
from anthroprivileged me
to LeftBrain dominant you
for multicultural us.

I'm still here
sinking into my deep blue camp chair
with feet resting on a wea...

Consuming Compassion

...Natural compassion,
like unnatural hate,
is left hemisphere teachable
and right hemisphere contagious.

Perhaps also like hate
(fortunately I know less about this 
journey in misfortune)

The Choir Audition

...Why does she know
laying our music down
raises musicality
reality up?

Does she also know
why my lips prefer to sing
in resonant Oh,
Oooooooh...
oozing round O's
and singular Ah's
free of ...

Thing One and Thing Two

...Things One and Two
visited Fitness Planet Earth,
a land of milk and honeyed promise

for nonviolent communication,

Emergent win/win nongrunting

Earthlife Eulogy

...As climate pathology peaks
toward climax conditions

LeftBrain privileged blindness

Absence of green
and sea salty blue
fragrance,

Old Taoists Always Die

...I'm a 68 year aged
ecofeminist Taoist,
Yin Unitarian and Yang Universalist
in a bicameral

Left/Right-UnWinged EarthCentric kind of way

Where "permacultural"

Elegy

...Elegy

this cryptic heart,
           
          vault of dissident scrolls,
          hemorrhagically inked,
          sacraments of savage lymphs
          and vicious tears, infested

The Third Christmas Poem

...Two in the morning,
and the long drive home
from an afternoon and night
of Christmas Eve liturgies,
the air is bitterly cold
as my car and I climb
the long, steep hill out of
the Minnesota Riv...
