some ecstatic times
and self-conscious mendacity
other significant times,

Restorative and yet unfortunately retributive games
with WinWin or WinLose, or even terrifying LoseLose dominant trends
in self-with-Other inflicted identity.

As eco-systems are imaged healthy
and sadly pathological,
restoring healthy...

Don't you want to stay still?
Don't hear;
Don't show;
Don't...

Melancholy

I feel drugged although I don’t get high
I feel sad and don’t know why
I feel guilty although I never lie

of silver crescent
sprinkles citrine dust,
sparkling pink brooks 
spring forth,

coat the dusky horizon,
unfurling lilac...
