Open Oceans
"Open Oceans"
Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys
praying
preying
hungry hearts
count the days
wasting away
in all that preying
for prayers
to be answered
children become
strangers
reading
strange words
finding
themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to

Peace In the Nowhere
"Peace in the Nowhere"
Ghosts remain in this place
they read their words
marked each day on walls
like prayers, it gives them
peace in the nowhere
someplace relevant to go
Ghosts commune in this place
disowned long ago or walked

Distances
by Michael R. Burch
Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.
Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

Just Doin' My Translation Job
It's all frustratingly LeftBrain relativistic,
even nihilistic in its darker
ruminating
paranoid about chaotic outcomes form,
said Einstein's post-millennial ghost.
So its all synergetic fractal 4D equivalent SpaceTime,

in co-arising nondual P = N(NP)/2 (0)-Core response.

Prescribing Rebirth To Dt2
DT2 came to me, unwillingly and clandestinely,
only because he was referred by his mother,
who was concerned that he was growing up and out
to become an ego-terrorist,
and she had heard of my feminist work as ecotherapist--
so...

Positive Political Psychology
I question my own interplay of psychology and political science.
Does this too facilely root analogy within ecology of climate health v pathology?
Intersections of sociology and psychology are at least academically commonplace.
I have a friend with...

Hymn To Farewell
Why does my multicultural applauding message,
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

ComPassion's Braver Angels
Impressive values,
like love,
claim resources that liberally breed
ecological
natural
physically happy health
and conservatively feed
emotional
spiritual
mentally glad wealth.
Oppressive disvalues
like homophobia and racism
and sexism and ageism
and ableism
and monoculturing disregard
for threats of global anthro-supremacist ecocide,
express what we are against
because these are...

Parallelismus Membrorum
My Hell
I fall down
deeper and deeper
into oblivion
nothing
only darkness.
the sounds of evil
dripping into my ears
slithering farther
and sliding down into me
filling me with echoes.
terror courses through
my veins
into each cell
turning them against
me
they are no longer mine
they follow another
a stronger...

Things That Stuff My Mind
Exhausted, yet I can't sleep
So glad that I don't want to weep
You're living your epic life
While mine cuts like a knife

I see a...

Future Self Among Others
Future selves recycle past dynamic imaginations,
Greek Gods as muscular Yang athlete images
evolve from older internal messianic bodhisattva Yin,
double-edged incarnations of power.
It is in this coincidentia oppositorum,

that the peaks,
the Taoist Tipping Points
