Inside the Great Halls of Us
“Inside the Great Halls of Us”
Inside
The Great Halls of Us,
there resides a ghost
IT hides in plain sight,
waiting quietly, alone,

Red and Trueblue Family--4

in her...

Exploring Midterm Mindbodies
Our minds play
an eisegetical game
transubstantiating our debating minds
translating our felt bodies
embodied contexts
Natural/Spiritual environments

multiculturing mysteries
sacred polytheistic histories
Felt
egocentrically thoughtful
inside
Touched
exterior-invested
sacred trans-pantheistic skin
outside transparent reverence
for all born vulnerably holy
within and...

Tonight the act of naming fell through the floor.
We speak permeable solids inflect’d by light.
Things move indistinctly: a pine palette floats
momentarily from semi truck’s bed, crosses
its body with windshield; ovidian shift from a
Forest to an...

Shattered dreams of New Canaan
Shattered dreams of New Canaan
no longer land of the free home of the brave,
original rightful occupants hoodwinked, petrified,
where diseases xeroxed
ambushed, crushed, extinguished,

violent unwelcome intruders
celebrated acquisition or outright
annexation of...

Theater of Utter Charm - Part 28
part 28
at least we know what to avoid in a civilization
hypnotism for one
and angst which merely resembles authenticity
by attempting to dissect the inconsequential
which boils down to the matter of
detecting the inconsequential in the first place

She Didn'T Mean To Play
What Earth didn't mean to say:
Being pro-life

matriotic health

Denying communion
for supporting maternal rights
to unhappily choose abortion
is unlike denying anthrosupremacist sacraments
for ecopolitically supporting MotherEarth
traumatic last-rites
by choosing globally inclusive Ecocide.

The State of My Heart
It’s a journey to be reconciled with the past,
especially when one’s life still carries the wound;
it’s like a running sore that permeates the soul,
a gigantic barrier, an impediment in any way.
