Long Eartha Poems

My husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha
on Mother's Day

She often shares
last night's dreams,
which too often follow rather disturbing peak experience themes

Because,
you know,
or maybe not because,
how would I know?

Dreams about Her Straight White AlphaMale trauma
were...

of Plant Names"

BRAIDING SWEETGRASS:
INDIGENOUS WISDOM,
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE,
AND THE [SACRED] TEACHINGS

The third surgery didn’t work
He tells her there can be another one. 
He lies. Struggles to look in her eyes

She apologizes from a restless state
"I Won’t be here to see them graduate.
I won’t live to...

I have an inside Mother Eartha Voice
which She would prefer
to keep hidden
given any cooperatively healthy
democracy choice.

Mother Eartha
does not necessarily trust
the sexy grace
and beauty
of all Her StraightWhiteMale
potential Allies

College educated
but RightBrain contextually
environmentally 
straight white privileged
tone deaf

Unaware of...

Prayers,
sometimes lightly lyrical,
slyly satirical,
self-conscious,
ego-
and anthro-chosen folk
transcendently 
yet personally
individually woke,
and sometimes full embodied
passions in Praise Him!
shout out

Echo in-
voking round resonance
with all Earth's eternal 
regenerating lively
lovely resilience.

Prayers
express "I feel"
so provoke "I want,
even actively need"
Trust Statements

Or,
prayers are LeftBrain...

What are your most winterish
critical trauma events
in these most recent
three millennia?

Why 
just my traumas?
Why not their corresponsive
therapies
for restoring EarthJustice?

Please go on
and on
questioning my questions
seemingly without end,
like an arctic wind-blown 
starless night
in eternally restless January.

As you...

S/He has heard something
somewhere
somehow
about sacred ecology

Wondering if this might capture
her own personal
and political 
co-arising consciousness
empowering
overflowing feelings
for deep systemic theology

Unconditionally regarding 
Gaia's original enlightened 
liberating intent
empowering conservation, 
resiliently resonant ecosystems
of Sacred Goddess Eartha

Embodied iconic health
co-arising ironic...

Does sacred Mother Eartha
too often want to stop the world
to process Her nuanced feelings?

Does our desecrating Dad
too seldom demand we stop
to consider grace
and win/win gratitude
for creative dance
as it has systematically developed
to this current post-millennial date

A funny movie named Boomerang,

Eartha Kitt was Old Lady Eloise,
namesake for scents and the likes of these.
As an elder owner, her body sang.

What grows integral
shows up cooperative,
not competitive,

Like communion
transcends capitalism.

Earth knows cooperative co-investment
expands informed sacred vestments
stretching co-empathic communication

and nonverbal EastHemisphere intuitive
self/other reunions
seeking Me/We bilateral resonance
for 7 regenerations

Honey, it's almost Christmas
and you're such a slacker
do I have to call Nicky
to give me an answer.
The elves are so antsy
to hear the bells ring.
Honey, it's only money
did You buy Me some Bling?

So, a nice...
