re-alignment as BlackHole icons
of ancient eco-alignments,
Yang solar resilience
with Yin lunar resistance.
Before we had dualistic separation,
from sunlight's...

Future Self Among OthersFuture selves recycle past dynamic imaginations,
Greek Gods as muscular Yang athlete images
evolve from older internal messianic bodhisattva Yin,
double-edged incarnations of power.
It is in this coincidentia oppositorum,

Pope Francine's TransfigurationIf Laudato Si'
were written by Pope Francine
and not me
replacing Pope Francis's
root anthrosupremacist choices

is not reciprocated.
Just a shadow of affection,
towards another.

like a continental-ocean shoreline
or a clear blue lakeshore
poised above green grassy plains
and below glaciered and alpine forested mountains.
Ecotones
