Long Morphed Poems

How unparticular the day had particularly been,

On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,

Let us begin
by explicitly undressing
what may have been
implicitly held
multicultural feelings:

1. For the overwhelming masses
of teeming and scheming 
healthy human adults,
and especially adolescents,
peak sexual experiences
are also our peak
lifetime
spiritual experiences
of compassion
co-passion

What is a life to you?
Do you wake up to love
imagine a future with someone?
A wife or a husband,
a child or ten?
An exaggeration,
but love is different to everyone.
Do you have a cat or a dog,

Self-pardoning rights of predators and pirates
emperors and kings
CEOs and wealthy competitors
follow our over investment
in separating natural land and bodies
from oceanic surfing inside spirits,
yang ecopolitical strength of communal sight
from yin personal flow of sound,
resonant orthodox positive

I’m here, in this terror.
 Blood, blood puddles everywhere
like after a demonic storm of rain, but instead it’s human red liquid .
Splattering,
leaking and escaping.

THREE WITCHES A LOVE SONNET


Three ancient, rotten, horrid, witches 
just awoke from their daytime snore,
These evil, reeking, damaged, sisters,
Cursed the land for thirty-five score.

Till they reached the...

Martha Rogers
brought dynamic nursing relationships
of co-acclimating healthy minds
and Earth's well-being subclimates,

While Carl Rogers

One dark night a saucer crashed;
the military quickly cleaned up the trash.
In the distance, what they didn’t see;

Voting day at long last has arrived.
Scrambling through closet,
a cavernous space in accumulation.
In the deepest darkest corner,

garnering my three by five inch American flag,
glorious yet demure.

Observer,
Though impartial, I can never be as
I try to see you through others eyes.

Though you show signs of aging.
