Employment Trauma
My protagonist today,
a Gay Black Religious Mature Male,
not quite ready for silver-grey Obama temples
Is off this morning
to a new full-time job,
8 to 5,
Monday through Friday.
He has been out of his calming,
regular custodial collared routine,

Why Life
Why does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,

before naked covered night.
Why life?

with him, who needs...

Manic Depressive Climates
Depression is like dying
without hope this process will end well,
without remediation
at least not for my closely held ego-identity,
and despair
this turning inward
creates a cocoon by avoiding outward.
Focal awareness of ego mortality,
immanent and emanant,

turns inward,

Faithful Thought Experiment
Imagine your favorite faith community,

Restoring Justified Designs
In restorative justice programs,
victims of trauma establish facilitated goals for healing.
Victims are our first clients of solidarity.
But, our clients work on actively responding to punishing loss,
to violence,
violations of what could be,
and should have been, peace.
