Long Animism Poems

Last night I dreamed I was Donny's sexy Secretary 
of Public Health Education,
charged with training health therapists
who traveled from home to shelter
with a one question survey,
"Which do you experience as healthier
for yourself,
those around you,
for your...

How does it feel to you
when presidents proclaim anthro-supremacy
exclusively made
in one universal God's
straight WesternWhite monotheistic 
over-Capitalized 
and stealth-marketed 
kleptocratic image?

How might this have felt
comfortable and uncomfortable
across centuries of Western
straight light-skinned male monastics
expecting historically salvific privilege?

How...

Do you think love is healthy?

I suppose more therapeutic than its opposites,
whether hate,
or fear
or anger
or greed,
for is not love the formed functions of gratitude?
positive attitude,
that I am loved by Earth's diverse health in return
nutrition
conservation
cooperative economies
positive...

Do you think I care 
For your phony Arab spring
And dead trees and hot wind
I have never seen a spring without seed popping from the soil
I should know I am made from the dust of...

In a dismal old fashioned cell at our ancestral home,
Wherein coconuts, new and old, heaped like a hillock dome;
Kid-butterflies, we're often asked to pick some for curry,
Finding phantom-forms we ran as scared as rabbit bury...

I finished reading Sharon Blackie's Enchanted Life yesterday.

Kind of a How To Do It,
a how to fix BusinessAsUsual textbook
organically rooted in animism,
I suppose a theologist
and maybe an enchanted ecologist,
might duly note

Although animists are not distracted,...

In the area of dominion, where elitism wields
Altruism flickers as a beam of light in the field.
Some may consider this a sort of implausibility.
Yet, verity and equity will steer our ability.

Toussaint they dance in Louisianna, and New Orleans
Omitting to say that these two places are blood money paid
Unto the colonies, snuffing your revolution by any means 
Subtle French diplomacy that history would parade
Solutions of lies...

To see ecstatic Earth
is to no longer see our home
as merely static,
framed,
quantified,
commodified

Yet, 
To see all physical nature as dynamically changing,
ecstatically or more BusinessAsUsual,
is not necessarily to suddenly discover stones
are animistically organic
and ego-conscious.

To find a surrounding...

The winter wanes and the soul of the water revives.

Reincarnation incarnate.

The Cascades cleanses her cradle of Earth; kissing it's sediments with liquid sheen and sentimental shine.

It's body is a white and blue river; it's scales...

We were enjoying lives when kids were kids, the fruits were tasted the 
Bitter arrows weren't there to deter the fruit of lives were reliable. 
Weren't dare to talk on top our voices to vague...

We populate our LeftBrain language with nouns.
We populate our RightBrain relational verbs with objects,
with objectives,
cooperatively positive
and competitively mistrusted
as notnot double-binding negative.

We populate this bicameral life with animated subjects
and unanimated,
static objects.

We animate Earth-bound sensory experience
with dynamic...

Frightend children under the baobab
Of elders discourse playing
At the deep edge of rites
Of passages
With no Atlantic dream.

There is a beauty here
Before the other world began
Forgetting its origin
And taste
Of white milk in black breast
Beautifully caressing
The tongue
Outside...

Ask fate does the moon shift 

As the oceans drift apart 

With no moon in this sea of dark 

Visions slowly sank 

My dead eyes staring blank 

While i stay idle 

Forming an illusion of...
