Long Membered Poems

Once,
or twice, 
maybe thrice,
surely not
not fractal

A clan of crazy ecofeminists
conspired within an 88 unit residential castle
in their historically converted 
sometimes hysterically clueless condo
colonial-red predative brick 
badly bald aging building

With a sometimes soggy south walled school,

Paradise
like Rome
is not built
and not rebuilt
and rebuilt
and redeveloped
and healed
and redeemed
in one 24-hour
cycle
and recycle
and revolving
round day v night,

And/or 
appreciatively regarding both day
and dualdark
rich and fertile 
souled and soiled
recycling night.

So too
my personal
and political
and economic
and ecological
and theologically reformed...

Today
we left off yesterday
to pick up
where speaking non-violent principles 
too often neglect to listen
to liberally artistic,
green and active
yet non-reactive
compassionate healers
may need to co-invest more
in co-operating democratic research
of
and for
WholeEarth DiaLogical Matriotism.

Excuse me,
but co-passioned listening
to silence

What might be your perfect way
to awake with joy and gratitude each morning
within this new day
old way
of opportunity and mourning?

This morning's epic re-awakening
into Beloved Paradise
opens health humored eyes 
to see a full bright winter moon
shining...

Monotheists are wrong to aspire toward evangelical control
of fear and anger actions and reactions
in absence of HolySpirit's loving mindfulness
of peace and passion and pleasure,
preforming our transformational intent
as discerned through daily practices 
stretching unconditionally warm compassion.

Laws of co-gravitation
are more like mutual invitations
originating with NewBorn memories
wombed by MotherEarth's DNA

Vocational streams of gaming wealth

and LoseLose fearing
co-incarnate journeys toward ever more healthy integrity

If Thou take not our hands,
and feet,
our bodies
hosting ghostly minds,
our organic inside communion lives
flowing out emphatic communication love

We cannot continue to fail,
to fear,
to feel tired,
retired,
weary,
untreaded,
worn,
unpleasant,
numb.

When I try to sing this earnest prayer
with only my heady...

Tensions between professional teacher
or theological preacher
and therapeutic integrity
are as old as cultural wars
between knowing scientific methods
and feeling artistic expressions

InBetween noetic purpose
of LeftBrain thinking
and deep poetic meaning
of RightBrain feelings;
EgoMinds within EcoSystemic Bodies

How many times have I...

In ecstatic climaxing designs
for healthy multicultural communications
ecopolitically correcting
currently imbalanced
unhealthy
disempowering outcomes

Our most resiliently robust productions
derive from nonviolent communions,
compassion restoring cooperative
healthy EarthJustice

Resilient democracy 
co-invested in green peace
repurposing relationships for mutual equity,
co-empathic integrity,
win/win cooperativity.

This NonZero HomeZone
is our most...

Mental and physical health
require,
and contribute to,
Integrity.

Integrity has two faces,
internal and external,
climates dominant and subordinate,
cultures poly-inclusive and mono-segregated,
bilateral frames of reference
dipolar
co-arising
appositional.

Internal integrity
anticipates left with right hemisphere confluence
and is anxious when diverse left v right experiences
unfold cognitive/affective...

"Jamais vu" is a post hoc component of déjà vu.
Recurrent contact with similar people or view.
Always alike the first time, but many times over.
All of the people and places are odd, yet sober.

This morning, recollections...

Sam Ebenezer
a sad ol' geezer
was lamenting his shrinkage of late:
my worthless ding-a-ling
is a bell without ring
my manhood in diminishing state
 
From whence I salute
is thin as a flute
and soft to the touch as cashmere
I search...

If I can choose my time to die
winter is my first choice
although I can imagine
any season could be good
for releasing ego’s hold
on troubled ecoEarth-engagement,
should there be such a long-named thing
when I choose my AnthroPrivileged time...

I have tried to walk through those doors,,I just can't,
The pain is too deep, the judgement I can't stand,
Be better, be better is chanted through their walls,
Turning noses up in discust when you fall,

In prophecy
we often fixate 
on time's unprofitable passage,
on degenerative change
on long-neglected reform
on our need to redeem our time
now past.

Yet this notice of opportunities and risks
for future climates of pathology and health
is surrounded by an implicit...

Alone have you come here
Alone shall you go
Can you just leave behind
Your fragile ego?

Can't you let go your
Envy and pride
Moments of Shame and hatred,
Moments you cried

Is it too hard
to tame bursts of anger
Feelings of sorrow...

Deep inside the lonely breast a yearning
For something beyond the bitter taste
Of this world’s incessant churning
Or, a human’s soul laid in utter waste

Sifting through the bleakest dogmas
Histories of seekers in days of yore
Rigid rules of...

The re-membered

Speak to me of a memory that ran into the sand
taken by the high tide drifting away
but at low ebb glitter on the lonely strand.

Speak to my memory as seen in a child`s eye

My green Iris
With golden tint 
Floating in the 
White surface red sea 
Colourless water cross the lids
Run smoothly in high speed 
Over my cheeks over my lips 
Finally dropped & absorbed in my jeans.

Coinciding wrath's adjourn, the legacy
to just envelope the return,
that first step, that first look, the yourn
it is the first beguiling, not last's spurn!

That seeing first, that moment's soft concern
how fondly, membered first in thought's affair
