Long Gendered Poems

Beware The Ides of March 2023
 
Ides simply referred to first new moon, 
which usually fell between 
the thirteenth and fifteenth day
of a given month.

The following events all occurred
fifteenth of March 
across span of millenniums.

(alternately titled: idolizing childhood's end
today April 25th, 2021
generates elusive warm treasured memories).

Akin to significance my eldest sister
felt toward her “Willies” –
(totally tubular fuzzy bendable contrivances
analogous to an outsize pipe cleaner)
until she became a tweener
my Matty...

To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled

echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale

silent sacred pause 
for Earth's final soliloquy 

Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy

Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven

Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof

Future obligations
and past assets

Resigning...

I was tying up her second shoe
when the second coming came.

The first had been the night before
when the bus demons dropped her off
to say they might be back
but weren't exactly sure when,
while I tied up...

Flourishes amidst freedom

when soul no longer kept linkedin

A mental health difference
between being stuck
in an impoverished designation
and being stuck 
trying to merely survive
with mostly "Loser" marginalization
dehydration
ancient locked-up degeneration

Feels like same difference
between economic red-lined
unenlightened Othering
smothering suppression
and flat-lined politically disempowering
oppression

Feels like a thoughtful distinction
with a...

Quarrel not with me because your ancient longing to right
The ancient damage that deformed you in the night
Has offered you no ego massaging victory in fight
O may champion the spurious claims of others brought to...

"Aurora Spills"


Aurora spills like a waterfall
light from the eyes 
saltwater tears
crocodilian
scaled in the weight of worth
a drop in the ocean of fate
breaks the seaweed fields of stories 
they wave her in 
rippling time away
fingertips dance...

My grandfather
seemed wise with years
walking his rural spiritual path
in a relentlessly white
Christian dualistic church
dividing sinful nature
from sacred spirit.

He counseled:
Do not mix
religion and politics.

I wonder
how he would feel
about this mix
of sacred and profane
if he were to...

Incinerate my corpse when I'm gone,
It might sound weird but it's already decided alone,
Prudent it is,when you offer my wish,
Not to say,you're honouring my departures dish,
Not to think you're paying homage to me as tribute,
That...

Paying forward kindnesses done...
courtesy family, friend or stranger

Appreciative when nonagenarian
papa telepathically hears me yelp
and/or non twisted sisters,
who time and again offered
unsolicited beneficial help.

Indeed unable to reciprocate
that's not quite all he wrote
when kith/kin allotted this ole...

I hope we can help ourselves
and each other
become quieter,
more leisurely,
generous,
grateful,
graceful dancers of sound
rhythm
pattern
voices of color
to see and hear these quieter vibrations
of wildness.

Wildness
wilderness
relatively untouched forests of mountains
and oceans,
rivers
lakes
ponds
swamps of wildness
for quiet forms of song and Earth...

GENDER BENDER
(Battle of the Sexes)

Today, I do admit I seem confused
About some common words that I have used.
I thought I was a female, not a male,
However now my gender must curtail.
Woke up today to see...

Compile a list of all your losses,
worst moments,
fears and hatreds,
your defensive fears
and most angry
dispassionate 
paranoid dualdark bilateral margins,
edges,
boundary issues
and double-binding love-hate dipolarities
of gooey too-yin stuckness
in ambivalent waves
of notnot yet

so all is left
is Lose to...

In realms of hearts that know no bounds,
Where love's tapestry is gently woven,
I find my voice, a whisper profound,
A tender tale of souls intwined. 

Can I be your son when born your daughter,
In this dance...

By the breath of God frost is given ...

Out of whose womb came the ice?
and the hoary frost of heaven, 
who hath gendered it?

Barfday present.  (replace f with d - optional)

And follow the road of ones own thoughts, to all, and every,

The Book of Revelations showed the slaughtering of souls and The Lord’s Army was the carrier of the deed.
The blood of humanity would be the precede.

I have a body,
own a gendered organic body,
yet I am a mindbody
as ego's inside communal identity
embraces outside systemic context

Health communication
within my wealthy body
yet a communing mindbody
inter/intra-communicating 
bilaterally co-passioned organism


Musician
within my binary gendered body
yet a musing

No matter where I go or be,
I’m always in the midst of a tree;
trees—following and teaching me.

Many they are—many of every kind—
and whenever you see any, you’re seeing
mysterious wonders God gave to humankind.

From time immemorial,...

We whimsically wondered why
wandered victims by
and through our uniquely human history
of sexual trauma
and therapeutic politics

Mythically hinting
hunting
poly-resonant
mono-vulnerable
half full, half empty
gendered pantheology

Spanning spies discovering economic magic
denies political monoculturing tragic
outcomes for godlike monolithic
monotheistic empire-building

Wherein straight white males
disproportionatly championed

Nothing else could give what life had to offer,
