Long Covenanted Poems

What if we live in and out
among and yet autonomously
with and sometimes against
LeftBrain dominant enculturation?

Colonization,
predation with ego-logical economic secular outcomes
too often predicting compromised long-term health
in exchange for conserving an evolutionary win/lose model
serving industriously degenerating corporate...

A pandemic Christian evangelical error
disparagingly contrasts gospel privileged scripture,
root of all-powerful faith,
with inferior and erroneous Eastern religious traditions,

Earth's multi-tribal sanctuary,
like any flexible multi-generational home,
like elastically resilient residents
of a nineteenth century
three-family brownstone,

positively grows gratitude
for HereNow integrity
of further co-operative covenanted potential ways

Human nature gets its share
in wrestling with the ideals,
principles or philosophy of man,
an uphill encounter, a process within.

  to make us aware that he...

I remember the meeting of our lips
Where the honey drips
Like dew from a hibiscus morning

O crescent moon shaped wings
Parting the silver stream of...
