Long Engagingly Poems

The title of this talk today,
"Win-Win Politics of New Feminist Economics"
suggests questions,
more than emasculating 
definitively deductive
reductive
answers.

Would you imagine
a minority-identified Buddhist,
more likely as a feminist?
or culturally comfortable
with political and economic Left-brain domination,
monotheistic competing for all-consuming
ritualistic servicing?

Before we begin,
I want to introduce
my most hopeful self

Before we begin
life's communication
we know love's energy

Mother and Child
intimacy
sacred mild
intricacy
integrity...

Resonant hearts beating
repeating
+1 then 0 then -1
circling around again
without growing rest
or restless

As invisible
as wealth of air to Goddesses,

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

there are some parts of your personality
you must never look at
or Aristotle's logic will pay you a visit
for a 15th century anatomy lesson
an eye for an eye a throat for a throat
gargoyle armies hovering overhead

Though I posted the following poem 
(B)efore (C)ovid, a sense 
of glee donned my being 
the notion arose to trumpet anew
said literary handily crafted endeavor.

Not far from here – Perkiomen Valley -
Schwenksville, Pennsylvania
regular folks going...

Two hundred forty two
(12.1 score) years ago
countless stripling soldiers
strapping farming homeboys
healthy agrarian lads
raised among generations

in summer re:
offspring original settlers heirs
family acreage encompassed
wide uninterrupted forested swaths
across sprawling vistas
sparsely populated enclaves,

now heavily industrialized
lovely bones occupying
unmarked never known...

Aboard the event train I watched over the undulating scenery ahead. 
Whose eyes see into shadows ogling the unknown
What a basically exhilarating time indeed.

What other panorama undresses before admiring glances.
Evening skies in many orangey shades...

Love always thinks it's chosen well,
Discerns no qualities to criticize.
In the loved one all is loveable,
And defects become virtues in a lover's eyes.
To speak, or write, or sing of love,
A lover needs no dictionary.
The words...

Listlessly marooned 
last mile
fading fast
in obscurity 
beyond 
the tapestry of twilight 
the ambiguous path 
seeking definition 
in configured 
mystique metaphor
engraved within 
penumbra of panorama 
out my kaleidoscopic 
winsome window 
the mirror of mirage
on the world...

In sign language, with your hands, tell me to sleep
to close off the world and its burden to keep
to blow my anxiety through bubble wands soapy
and pillow my tears with agreeable dreams
In sign language, with...

I was quiescent and reposing on a wooden chair

to a faraway distance the vista seemed nothing.

I was engrossedly thoughtful in an empty stare;

In this somber fixation i did not sound maudlin.

In the surrounding, in a...

SCULPTURES
moods
in
waiting
so
pleasurable
where
 everything
is
 engagingly
  radiant
expansive&
eerily beautiful

an unforgettable
haunting presence
in
 representation
morph
 into
the other
 patterned
dappled
  lightly

a

in stone
 now restricted

To jitterbug and jive, perhaps to feel alive;
Dreaming that I too could dance as well as you;
Strutting to a tango in Chichicastenango
Touring a veranda edged with jacaranda.
Four eyes eagerly dancing; engagingly entrancing
Above paired swaying hips...

Morning Mystic

Mysticism is not for me,
I know that wind is blowing free,
Nor does it speak engagingly of
Memories of another time.

I read my book, yet I feel a presence,
What is this touching – barely brushing?
The atmosphere...

Virgin crystal flakes lucent feature,
Journey downwards from heaven,
Falling round shimmering nature. 
Limbs Stretch High. A numbing breath driven,
Winter wet embrace forgiven.

First Winter of favorite song,
The early snow buntings arrived
Chirping engagingly along
Plaintive worlds soul better contrived
With...
