Premium Member The Being Who Never Leaves
I never learned to look at shop windows without searching for the walking shape of your footsteps. The umbrella abandoned beside a rusted bicycle resembles you more than any living body. On the wet pavements, an old woman feeds the pigeons with the same patience you once had for all the things I forgot. Someone plays Bach in an alleyway, and the notes...

Liturgy for the Damned of Progress
My wounded heart drinks deep from the rotting gut of misery, Humanity vomits its relics onto the oozing tiles of the real. I see kids chewing syringes like candy canes, Their innocence smashed, face down on the concrete of progressive decay, Strangled in the dungeons of a morality sold to the highest bidder. Starving bellies roar like weapons of war, But...

Premium Member 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 bone, these structures scaffold history and who we are. Now, stripped of flesh, they moan and rattle the dark when given voice by savage winds. I have heard the haunting echo left in the wake of their going. Emptied...

As climate pathology peaks toward climax conditions LeftBrain privileged blindness and deafness, tastelessness replacing savoring, Absence of green and sea salty blue fragrance, bereft of internal robust feelings and external wellbeing touch drop unhealthily unwealthily away from enabling organic integrity to know Empathy is to spiritual consciousness as sympathy mirrors neurosensory awareness In this second becoming time, RightBrain legitimately feeling our life interdependent systems awaken Earth's synergetic climaxing health potential. LifeCulture's organic forms flow functions of bionic existence with...

Premium Member Temple of Grain
They prayed a Buddhist prayer: And may we cooperatively dwell in Earth's great equanimity free from attachment and dispassionate aversion. As regenerations continued this bodymind practice, MotherEarth Attachment transposed disassociated from healthy relationships with all empowering and enlightening creatures, and was replaced by "greed" and correlated "envy" Greed rooted in fear individual egocenters are not enough identity, bodies carrying minds with unspoken messages, they did not have enough; Envy co-arising anger as greed...

Premium Member Halloween Moon Liturgy
In the liturgy of the gathering of the dead Shadows play like phantom haunts Shivering with broom sticks quaking She flies enslaving the Halloween moon Shadows play like phantom haunts Enchanted by the sorceress' tune She flies enslaving the Halloween moon Possessed by her lair's bedeviled curse Enchanted by the sorceress' tune Shivering with broomsticks quaking Possessed by her lair's bedeviled curse In the liturgy of...

Liturgy
There is so much to taste: a religious surfeit gives me indigestion. Jostled by a crowd of words I seek just who I am in relation to the Word. Give me space, some quiet, room to breathe the Holy. The Word made flesh is enough on which to feed - together....

A Liturgy of Anguish
Some say you lose your innocence, mine was given away in a jungle where the ground sucked up the blood. Making me wonder if the earth is a vampire and not a whore. Did I pay some forgotten debt, have I wept for the fallen enough ? Where were you Uncle Sam when I needed saved, When the dreams teased me awake, night after night, laying...
