in an experiential kind of way,
and a trans-biblical swell known sway,
and I can imagine a world with healthier,
more cooperative, politically empowering days,
but I am clueless about healthy religion,

When Three Cousins Played
Three cousins played a “game’ of war
A map of Europe spread across the floor
No adults there to keep the score
As each of them wanted more and more
Three of four empires lay upon that map
As they...

Tao and the Art of Permaculture Maintenance
Information caused qualitative culture,
some might say cussed culture,
but, whether damned or graced,
culture, or vulture,
languaged-left hemispheric information
languished after right-brained exformation
self-regenerated human in/out-side culture.
Human culture preceded human race
and DNA races
and racism
and socioeconomic language boxes
and hierarchical...

Stalingrad II
Let fortitude confront the raging beast
for wolfen corps from Hell have entered in.
They surge in packs, savagely unleashed,
to mutilate the innocence within.
Let ev’ry child and mother of its name
be fodder for this apathetic rage.

Stalingrad III
Your doggedness left arrogance denied
when dominance put ego on display.
Oh Stalingrad, your heart was fortified

Saving Grace
When empty bubbles of stillness brimmed the place
Upon an emerald carpet of meads, she genuflected with gathered grace
Of languished bones and reverence plucked from nunhood hearts.
