Healing Systemic Trauma
Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?
No more common sensory sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominance
oppressing sacred Earth's
polyamorous win/win systems

resonant polyculturing health
Care given

in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

The Panther

Your Sanity
Stuck in place…
Free in space…

my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?
Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?
Even resonance
