Long Defusing Poems

I know
you know
you stole our property,

to use for your self recreating purposes,
not a subject for open...

Sometimes pandemic people share
pieces of our unspeakable personal story

That no health care worker,
sex therapist player,
or green resonant systems organizer
wants to hear,
much less smell,
or touch,
or deeply feel...

Wince.

Maybe flirt with longer-term
dissociation,
to protect myself
from suicide
to protect...

It has been asked,
sighed Gaia,
if I would convert Christians
to Taoists.

So, what did you say?

I suspect better Christians,
Christians with more humble gratitude
for God's actively loving Grace
restoring ecological mercy 
more than punishing injustice,
would also be better Taoists
than...

for living gone in a spasm...

The Gospels share a negative understory,
thematic across all four.

However diverse these four voices may be
in describing and delineating Messianic love,
and political-economic priorities for poor spirits,
all four are univocal with anecdotal warnings:
If you are on the...

My Friend Pine Tree 

Away, quite away from my nearby Allen Forest
One day I was moving on a hill top 
On a Himalayan mountain hill
I found myself standing 
Before a beautiful and majestic Pine tree

About eighty generations before Jesus of Nazareth,
Zoroaster predicted the continuing
virgin birth
of Earth's Savior.

Could he have foreseen you
as our CoRedeemer,
as he was part of this same regeneration story
leading toward your fertile Time?

Virgin, for Zoroaster's encultured time,
Zero-Empty

But my real name is Charles Byard
So you know, it's pronounced by-yard
Living with this name has been hard

You guys are probably wondering

We dance beneath a carousel of blood
Tears flowing from the eyes causing a flood
We're just damned by our own intentions
Brewed by our interpersonal tensions
Lightning lances lively, and we're losing
Because reality is what we keep refusing
When...

She was enrapt by the glow and mesmerized
by what appeared to be some sort of orb,
bright faceted amber that was crystallized.
She struggled to comprehend and to absorb
the meaning of such a gilded gift of gold...

The spring is so beautiful as it brings new life
Song birds are singing defusing my strife
The gardens are sprouting with...

I am not done yet

Thy that is there unseen,
Told by preachers anger toward my ways,
That i would be wrapped soulless awake, 
anbandone with my full-grown-basket.
 
Please hope I am not been defusing;
My man is still functioning,
Go...

Lazy Millennial
Give the Lazy Millennial a damn job
He just plays Mobile Legends all night

And sleeps all day long like a cat
I’ll give the Lazy Millennial a goddamn job

Here’s a shovel son go and clear out...

Seeking safe waters to harbor my thoughts,
I found a confidant to calm my soul.

Supplying comfort and companionship,
you move me with the depth of your...

The Sunshine

The Sunshine was not far away from me in the sky,
Surrounded by clouds, 
It was piercing them, to spread its light.
My dreams and hopes too are rising like sea waves,
Touching the sky,
Oh, in such...
