Life explores integrity,
hoping to fulfill
all exploding polypathic
curiosities polyphonic.
How might history rewrite humanity
if those who adventured out
and eagerly invaded
felt more reluctant to dominate?
More sure that their long-term survival
in this, or any, non-native land
required them to...

The Wisdom of Age
Wisdom comes with age
So the old saying goes
But so does dementia
As the world so sadly knows.
It’s so easy to be vociferous
Brave aggressive and bold
Deferring action to others
Just because they’ve grown old
If Old Men...

Earthtribal Worldview
Therapeutic political systems,
like unpolluted oceans
filled with healthy sea creatures,
slowly evolve
from cooperative thrival
of polyculturally healthy
nonviolent communication,
anticipating co-passionate intent,
for co-invested planning
and co-operative green design
Bicamerally balanced
enlightened Either/Or Left
yang dominant
empowering Both/And Right
yintegrally co-prominent
four fractally dynamic seasons
Sacred flow of...

Say and Do What You Need
In the 80’s I first learned of Assertive Training
My husband thought it would do me some good.

As the teacher explained things.

2021
She came in storming, stomping and she shook us.
Some did not feel her tremors or terror
until their houses burned to the ground.
She fed diseased bats, and she started a pandemic.
We did not understand it...

Exalted Love
Twisting, turning,
Always yearning,
Feel the love
And passion burning,
I want to hear you
As you're purring,
Thought of holding back
You are deferring,
To enjoy this moment
To bask in the glow,
Of effervescent love
The kind that you can never
Quite get enough of,

Ones Entity
Assessments of one's entity brings,
A stabbing sense of double entendre,
Filing away at my character,
With deep scrutiny brings deep affliction,
My pride is all but redundant,
In such a critical sway of time,
Deferring a dream for addiction,
Such a...

Echo
Echo
A web waves in the warm breeze,
caught between ancient wooden struts,
indefensible, beneath an empty seat.
It splays to breaking point;
fine-knit, like a fibre-glass veil;
delicate strength resisting air.
Behind, purple bell-shaped blooms bow their heads in...

Moonlit Prayers
Lank shimmery hair flows off her shoulders
Cascading aloft sweet midnight zephyr
Alone she sits perched on seaside boulders
Under somber moonlight where he'd left her
Night after night she's at the rendezvous
Serene silhouette against the skyline
Amorously bidding her...

He Squelched Her Light
He lured easy prey into darkest night
Innocent, this had been no risk.
Groomed her until she had squelched her light.
Their romancing was a round pattern disc.
She responds to his disapproving looks.
Innocent, this had been no risk.

A fierce and angry snow storm swarms around me.

The Loveliest Bird In My Forest
The loveliest bird in my forest is she
The beautiful cardinal in the oak tree.
The blue jay is deferring to her, as his queen.
He is her subject, loud cackles, but not a bit mean.

Vacation Time
The doc says I need a vacation
My energy just can't be rationed
Seems there's been some depletion
leading to get-up-and-go secretion
He told me to take a few weeks
Get rid of those brain-draining leaks
Stop pushing myself...

In silence apprehensive heart conceding
