Speaking of Common GoodsWhat I wanted to say
the other day
when exalting healthy kindness
for potentially freeing us
from Straight White Men's great meanness
Costing Earth's Green Commons
and charging disinterest against
co-investing in healthy wealth
of all we cooperatively cherish
as good-wellness humored
for me

Inlaid with jewels ivory and gold

Intrigued by its intricate patterns - so ancient- so old
Her Creator’s mandate she...

Grave FeelingsI rediscover organic errors
hidden in co-gravitating
love language.
Gravity is easily noticed
as Apple falling toward Earth;
less visibly co-scienced,
experientially remembered,
as co-gravitational
co-relational intent
As Apple's ego-gravity core
falls drawn toward sacred Earth's
Mothering womb
smothering tomb
once more
returning toward deeply divine
anthrosupremely verbal
overpowering EarthTribe's co-operating...

but how much more

Liberation's PrideI wonder if fully liberated consciousness
can only focus on integrity
becoming;
If partial consciousness
and unconsciousness of left with right awareness
is the default of dis-integrity,
of wandering through detachment
of unwanted apartheid

about integrity's personal
national
global governing pride,

Weekday AlarmI am anxious
as my 5:30 beeping alarm
grows defiantly louder,
reminding me of surreal difference
between asleep, longing for better days awake,
and,
now awake,
longing for more sleep
struggling toward alarming predawn buttons
to release from this first crisis
for depressing life's day-rousing...

anticipating bright
natural exotic music

While singing deep spiritual

glad and sad feelings
above well-capitalized necks
And darker powerful feelings
down below
sacred 1/0 soul
