culture
religion
humane species
forgetting,
or more likely under-valuing,
how to unitedly suffer loss

of dissociative ego-death
as a badge of Earth-systemic re-cognition,
dignity through suffering 
sacred Ego's over-capitalized absence
where once we knew...

where sounds of silence 
from walking...

Padraig's Fire

Hurry!
Hurry through the night

To chat a bit about her ways with me
With a vague hope she shares her insight.

In January, the kaboom of fireworks
Redefining glitter above us: What if
The sky was pink, should purple rain besmirch us
Yet, don a cheer for New Year.

In February, the appearance of bouquets, cordate chocolates
Many secret loves trespassing...
