Hiroshima eighty years since August 6th, 1945

Hiroshima – eighty years since August 6th, 1945

About fourteen and a half years

Bipartisan Images

There remains,
among cherished riff-raff,
old trope
tropical wet and warm
reproducing images,

Sadly resilient
and madly resonant,

About organic holes
and tumescent poles,
full-flowering 
young
green feminists
of feckless zero-empty wombs,
glacier valley lows
merely reflecting
volcanic mountain peaks

1's and 0's
blushing co-binaries 
of upright monotheistic YangPower
never
ever yielding to...

Twisted Knickers-Collaboration Open to Poets

Some people wind up with twisted knickers
When they get insulted by nitpickers
Words are sticks and stones
Causing moans and groans
When they hear heckling whispers and snickers

Women used to call knickers 'underpants'
They'd get them twisted with tauntings...

The Grove of Unconditional Love

Verse 1: 
There’s one life to live, 
So give it your all
Mistakes were made…just forgive
The past and stand tall
Mistakes were made…come on and move on 
Hoping you’ll save me before I fall
Our future are in...

Before Emmanuel Began

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

Before we begin

we know love's energy

Resonant hearts beating

Duhhh Depression

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
and...

Positively Stunning

I used to be obsessed with fashion, caring far too much about clothes,
Like the sun whenever he's coming and going, is striking vanity's pose.

I lavished absurdly upon my wardrobe, in excess of what was practical,
Like...

My Esteemed Teacher

My esteemed Rinpoche
repeatedly impresses upon me
Our humane democratic vocation
to become an enlightened individual.

Which sounds like a polyculturing lot,
for absorbent 
co-acclimating residents and guests
of Earth's cooperative green/blue hermitage
To accomplish 
in solitude,
in one semi-lifetime,
demi-deathtime.

While this seems ambiguously...

Lamb To The Slaughter


Wind sings praise, and the wings who soar
silent adoration – soft as the light
climbing the skies, breathless and alive
rising in murmurings who bless the night
mounting impressions of the sea’s gentle tides,
flowing with worship, admiring the...

Kiss Stains of Shame

Your kiss-aids on wounds is but an epic fail 

We had the perfect time of our lives
Till unhappiness and sadness arrives
Lost in the perplexity of our fantasies
I have fed the fires of your lust disease

In Sustenance of Profligate Confabulation

I have seen many writers of late, (who struggle
To be taken seriously), interject "big" or unusual
Or fancy words into their prose in an effort to be
"Profound", or seem like they have a grand knowledge

Of just...

Great New and Old Years

Terrorism,
threat of terrorizing shelters
and habitats
and wombs,
seeds and trees,
mountains and valleys,
forests and deserts and oceans,
fear and anger conjuring and mongering and marketing
do not work long-term
because co-passions of love do work
more cooperatively and therapeutically.

Expressing
and impressing
our sacred healthcare...

Pandemic Nerves

Not wanting to make anyone nervous,
pandemics can be unsettling enough
without economic and political surprises,
inconvenient systemic insights,
more expansive circles of empathy
positively impressing 
more than negative deep
steep hierarchies
practicing neglectful shallow sympathy
for Others
remaining NonMothers
on distant drowning pagan shores.

These...

Mad About Carelessness

Why do I feel like school visits
are usually a waste of time,
and restorative health assessment visits,
too,
or is it professional visiting in general
that bothers me?

What I will see
and smell
and hear
and touch
is only what you feel safe...

Sensory Revolutions

It is a longterm scientific revolution:

THAT, despite visual perceptions
to the contrary,
Earth revolves around our light
and heat SunSource,

And not the other way,
Sun daily rounding Earth,
abounds all our sensory assumptions
to this EarthBound space in UniversalTime.

THAT our home...

The Light

Light pours out across the hills,
Destroying the darkness
With its reflections and sparks
Crystal clear, glistening
Through the doubts and confusion,
Awakening the silent yearnings,
Hopes lost in the past,
Dreams that you thought wouldn’t last

Light disturbs the secrets, silent
Amid the...

I’m a treasure more valuable than gold,

Worth more than expensive jewelry or the best assets
More important, I am – than...

Healing Bad Climates

Some healers counsel us not to count the cost
of healing deficits

But
successful greenest healers
win by counting costs
yet not worrying too conflicted much
about how we will cooperatively pay them
and when
and over how long a climatic time period

Hiroshima Seventy Seven Years Since August 6th 1945

Hiroshima – seventy seven years since August 6th, 1945

Given the nuclear weaponry arsenal today
August 6th, 2022, our collective ability
to lay waste major metropolitan areas
would make unleashing atomic warfare
synonymous with the ways and means
to annihilate, decimate,...

A Short Transparent Frock: Sappho Translation

Sappho, fragment 155
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

A short transparent frock?
It's just my luck
your lips were made to mock!

NOTE: This is a translation/interpretation of an epigram by the legendary Sappho of Lesbos. Pollux wrote: "Sappho...

My music adventure

May 2024, when I decided to stay away,
To help keep my feelings at bay.
I found a piano at this place.
Started practicing, thinking of impressing someone.
Now, the friendship has long gone.
I continue to play the piano...
