Long Localized Poems

One of the least talked about,
yet most problematic issues
for regenerating  

Global
social-psychological
mental and physical
health and public safety
movements

Well fed and watered
to empower and enlighten interfaith
action and reflection,
song and dance
liturgical and fire-circle
contemporary-indigenous wisdom

Is to explore together
how and...

Cooperative Feministas
are not quite so much Competitive Manifestos.

In David Holmgren's introduction to Permacultural Therapeutic Design,
he contrasts "Industrial Culture" with "Sustainable Culture"
kind of like comparing masculine LeftBrain culture
with feminist RightBrain enculturation, nurturance, resonance
over the longer-term scenaria,
rather...

I'm still reading Your Resonant Self,
by Dr. Sarah Peyton,
speaking of how contempt
destroys relationships
formerly cooperative
and, thereby, healthy.

Disgust about oneself
and contempt against Other
are interrelated,
like ego and eco,
like Yang and Yin,

"Humans seem to be capable of disconnecting from...

A difference between compassion and sympathy,

between co-empathic passion
and unilateral YangPatriarchal-empathic, 
ego-empowering intent,

Compassion matures passion FOR
into shared passion WITH.

This same emergent fluidity
cannot be said of sympathy
for suffering of Other,
who remains another dissociated Other

Exempted from democratic inclusion

Mideast Peace: Oxymoron

Though descendent of Jews,
I feel boggled at the brutal,
nasty and wanton war between
Israelis and Palestinians.

Many innocent victims
bred to know and hate their enemy
impossible mission
to reconcile one Semitic
group of peoples from another.

The bloody English

In December (On Life’s Calendar)

My golden years (am I a fool?) span each day of my life,
their lustrous sheen uncompromised by friends that time’s embraced,
friends’ vacuum’s ghost (their memories), seas’ ripples laps,
the symphonies spent lives...

Remember great climatic transitions,
memories etched in regenerating systemic syntax,
DNA coded,
but also RNA's much older eco-equivalent health scripture
through God of Time's bilaterally balancing norms,
organic love incarnating
and sacred life outcarnating, 
full-polycultural
crown/root systemic health.

Each plant and sludge cell,
eco-therapeutic...

“Let me introduce myself
I am simple, I am ‘Green’
The planet’s very first, 
Non-localized and multi-form, 
Unstoppable assassin, 
I'm friendly to environment, 
Discriminating too, 
A truly no mess death machine
But if I want you dead you...

bewildered, i try to find a chapter in which a comforting compromise is inevitable

This morning I left my bed
With reticence in my bones.
The old house shifted and settled
In another transitional place.
The car groaned changes of metal
Unlike what I came to expect.

Conservative witches chant
How maintenance is all worth,
How we...

We are in 
the breeze 
with trees possible 
off the flying lake

look for orange cone
wearing silver mask
in front of the office 
in back of the park

No back-to-back
or front-to-back
conversations
on old rocky route
where roots are not masked

Dogs...

I might feel grand
aspiring to omnipotent
omniscience

Whereupon omnipresence
might feel less necessary,
or even possible,
or desirable

In a secularized
reduced
dissociated apartheid,
sacred Us v sinful Them

An omnipotently inflammatory place
for every Other individual thing
and all Other routine 
and orthodox Things,

Omnipresent capital events

He climbed to the top of a tall cypress tree
All his fertile countryside world he could see
His father’s fields, neighbor’s houses, and kin folk’s, too
For seventeen years, the only world he knew

Found It Hard To Believe

Backs of others Trump liked to stroke
Sold us down river when we went broke
Went down an avenue to play in a park
Supporters were eaten by a loan shark.

With himself hard time...

Hypochondrial Delusion

A mind corrupted canker
Of cystic self failure
Even gastric anorexia
And fluttery throb to alight the fear
An adrenaline generated tachycardia
That matches respiration
And causes hyperventilation
With invasive pacy rhythm
And palpitating violation
To anxious infarction
 In schizoid arrest

A hepatic paranoia...

As sun is about to wake
I set my eye on a great lake
As I breathe in the cool breeze of that lake
Small piece of its soul with me I take

Beyond the lake hills roll
There is...

Peter in the summer morning sun
his cool smile shaded by shadows run
his voice as soothing as coffee’s scent
tell me he wasn’t heaven sent

Peter of Malibu moss and Spanish rose
his lips like light-coral, in kissable repose

AI Revisited

With a new morning
let us revisit this issue:
a new perspective..
Beginning in Consciousness
as it names: I am
we find that we
along with animals 
and trees and stones
are all projections 
within this infinite
and transparent 
 non-localized space..

CANCER

It began as a swelling
Localized swelling
Painless at first
Then painful

Then came a period of recession
Oh!
What a sweet relief
Wellness reigns again

Then again the swelling
Only bigger now
Persistent
Bigger
And bigger

They say its cancer
And it has come to stay
No cure, they...
