Georg Cantor Chasing Infinity I Must
Georg Cantor. Chasing infinity. I must!
He was a very lonely man
Tortured by desire to understand
The world and the God’s mind
Like a fearless seasoned sailor
He embarked an elegant boat
Of extreme mental endeavor
With...

Transformational Curiosity
That's queer!
said transculturing Curiosity,
peering out Her sacred big-boxed window
panes of misty white fog
gently covering her view
of upstream tiding River's
mysterious grey
reverse time flow
Sometimes,
OK, really too often,
I could use more courageous exercise
But, Other times
I'm more content, inviting...

Goldfish Wetdreams
So here's my big insight.
My two cents worth,
which will remain worth only a penny
unless it somehow aligns with your penny
for thoughts and shared feelings.
What if we put our human nature genie
back in Earth's home-nature...

Let My People Shine
At sixteen
People's Bible Church
sent me from rural Michigan farm lands
to Moody Bible Institute
in siren-screaming Chicago
Church fathers assumed,
despite curious evidence to the contrary,
that I was a StraightWhiteMale
born-again
wanna be choir director
Because I could sing with gospel appeal

Are We Safer Now
Joy in mourning
opens this new eye day.
Am I OK?
Healthy?
Compromised
yet survive able
air inhaling
"Death, tonight,
or some tomorrow,
my life's inevitable
closed,
no longer curious,
final answer."
Warm, wet exhaling,
"My moisture, too,
dying to reopen
yet another deep breath
resurrecting dawn."
Is my heart still beating
safe...

The C Word
The words are dark, sharp,vicious, viscous.
The images like bubbling, darkest jam,
With bubble like grim faces riding to the surface
Then bursting.
I am thirsting.Alternately with blood and bile,black.
I am a sad sack,
A pillow filled with rotten meat
For...

Summer Daydream
It was in the heart of frigid winter, that my car had broken down,
I was frustrated and so cold, so like the snowflakes falling down.
I had called for a mechanic, but I had been waiting...

Why Kites Fly
Fear and violence and guilty judgment
display synaptically sharp,
competing "Loser!" skittish economies.
Love and active peace sustain buoyance,
resilience,
robustly revolving away
from red skies of mourning;
cooperatively mutual Win-Win
ecology of evolution.
I want so badly to fly my competing belief kites,
and...

A-Gnostic About A-Theism

Fire's Fertile Advent
We are fire.
We fire.
We consume and produce warm memories,
and colder dissonance.
Where were we before first flicker of flame?
What were we before our warm time?
After our last flame expires
is our enlightened distinction
now extinguished?
Or this same where...

Fifty Shades of Death
When nights are dark you’ll never see
the depths of our humanity,
but in the light of desert days
the shades of death will quite amaze.

Burning Hearts and Wilted Flowers
You're the flame around my heart,
am I still your smile
when we're apart?
As you leave your flame flares up,
but when I look into your face,
I miss your lack of smiling place,
You are my fire!
Where were you...

The Last Organ Grinder

Love this amazing – leaves my feelings blazing,
Yearning for forever and always, together we’ll stargaze.

Taking Back Cooperative Power
All regenerative energies,
like sunlight
and Permaculture Design
and Restorative Justice
and love
and compassion
and empathy
and contextual intelligence
and multicultural mediation
and non-violent communication,
are interdependently One,
in original embryonic matriarchy.
So all degenerative entropic trends
are separating identities
segregating
decaying
reverting back into One
timelessly eternal Source,
regenerative,
as positive health...

Earth's Eulogy
Mothers have come
from throughout Earth
to bury our post-Trumpian dead.
Bringing both gifts and lamentations
as each finds appropriate
for healing
what cannot be stanched
and scabbed.
As gathering
we choose who will speak among us,
for this Earth eulogy.
At last our voices...

City of Hope
What a city I murmur to myself looking at its map.
We approached the city known as Dis,
with its vast army and its burdened citizens.
At last we reached the moats
dug deep around the dismal city.

Until I turned to see the blood in her eyes,
And the agonies tearing her apart.
Rejected and dejected, she gasps for breath,
Humiliation and intimidation - written all over...

Sacrificial Altars
When did business ethics
find roots in science
rather than re-connecting
humane re-ligion?
Thereby exempting,
divorcing,
earning a merely fair
and acceptable free economic pass
to continue extraction
exploitation
to build corporate empires
divorced from religion's incorporated
GoldenRule win/win ethics,
Including
family fair play
of sacrificially co-redemptive moral values
on altars...

Censorship
Although information is now abound,
but meddled by those in power,
in floods of deception how truth can be found?
It’s trampled upon, like a flower.
All media, owned by globalists, lie,
they twist every fact and distort it.
Like jackals,...

Blank Page Syndrome
Blank page syndrome
feels like full page longing
to be done with some work project
that will not slowly grow worthy
of my time
and certainly no captivated reader.
I feel victimized,
tortured, actually,
by blank page syndrome
Where I want to feel...
