analogous to geometry proof how lack of use proves
quite aware that finger muscles atrophied
veering off on a tangent...

What does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?

Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances

Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds

despite measurable diminution
regarding my audiological ability,
which loss of hearing

Mythologized sun child persona incarnate

Self actualization materialized 
like ghost that came back to haunt me! 

Figurative silver lining gleaned 
from hyperawareness encompassing

Comeuppance generated
desire to kill self awoke

Samson reborn within
brand name garden variety
twentieth century Homo sapien
hirsute trademark characteristic
electrified, empowered, enamored
mirrored reflection validated

substantial flowing luscious tresses
superseded body, mind, and spirit triage

potently, pronouncedly exemplified
declaration of independence

It occasionally  occurs to me,

as I distractedly remove my right dominant
Powder-Free Vinyl Exam Glove,
after yet another young adult diaper change,

Perhaps getting lovingly laid
by a lifetime committed
caring and passionately consenting peer
filled with warm compassion,
active hope...

thou moon in perfect glory

Concerns sit out there

New Year resolutions

They are back. Yesteryears’  resolutions
That  evaporated ere execution.

Does stale love toast or fondle? 
But toast is the soul of love:
When words summon words
Mirrorring the pumping heart.
