Long Motherlands Poems

It interests me to peer past the drafting
and rewriting shoulder
of Thomas Jefferson,
unhappy slave-owner,
and John Adams,
with domestic slave-owner nuisance issues,
and other principle writing minds 
of original democratic declaration and constitution shaping times,
as they listened to their...

When I was sixteen
I wanted Robert Kennedy's life,
although I didn't know about his time squandered
in staffing McCarthyism's
Make America as Grotesque as Possible campaign,

Which would have given me pause
in that comparatively naive age
of green longing for...

I'm not sure about this
entertainment
divorced from engagement
issue

But,
consider the following
a hypothesis,
a Thought Experiment
in the Indigenous MotherLand
and SacredWaters
of ecowomanist political theory,

Part of my own experience
betrays a rightwing bias
against superficial entertainment

And, by association, self-promoting entertainers
living out shuttered
and too...

What does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?

Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances
only,
in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport
across Earth's MotherLands
and feminist HealthCare Oceans.

Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds
cannot...

Why is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth's cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?

Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering...

Inside my elegantly intuitive,
but SupremelyWhite Male neglected,
and cooperatively We-managed RightHemisphere,

Grows a nutritious nuancing
and nonviolently
nonverbally communicating
win/win systemically curious
dipolar co-arising
(not so much bipolar distancing
and often furious)
courageous sense of win/win 
bicamerally accessible humor

Like when is green
the new black
is...

Like lack of preventive health care,
far more love is lost
through passive neglect
than active abuse.

And so it is
perhaps a negative corollary
we, most of us,
have failed to notice,
neglecting the industrial, then colonizing
history of unhealthy abusive gunpowder
moving toward...

Nothingness in spirited spaces
breathed places
windswept re-connecting
re-ligious experience

ZeroZone intuited
and non-violently
not ultra violetly re-communicating
economic green co-investments
and political win/win empowering
healthy wealth, resiliently abundant
polypathic potential
for future/from past 
love's green/blue reweaving

ZeroZone nothingness
of denatured
dead
statically disconnected win/lose dogma
of capitalistic righthand dominant fundamentalism

I see, and fear, a trumpian landscape,
usually, and more casually, outside any safe inside sanctuary.

Infrequent glances inside windstorms
and rivers of underground currents
surreptitiously culture shape
mold
transform vertically visual landscapes,
motherlands of ecotherapy above, outside
forests and deserts,
Earth's inside
farms and...

My mother's mother and I were very close.
We needed each other
in diversely validating ways.

She needed to know
experience
hear and see and feel and touch
a healthier love of mutual regard
than she felt she achieved
with any of her...

Treasured land splendor and glory
Pearl of the Orient Seas
Soldiers of known most emotional people
Loving and hospitable in patriot's blood line
The secret of velvet Three Stars and a Sun.

Fortified highest kind of water
Hallowed island of more...

Who shows up 
for cooperative health opportunities,
reducing pathologically competing risks?

Who shows up
for extended family potluck meals?

Who shows up
to give and take
during local pot-latch
cooperative council meetings?

Who shows up
to embrace and invite healthy WinWin climates,
wealth arrayed lilies
in...

I am an animated spirit,
Living in time and space of unceasing transit
I have learnt to live in worlds of diverse odours and hues
An unusual traveller, a body of unique concepts and views.

I have dealt with...

Among all Nations
North, East, West,
Stretching South
All over the world
Appear the rays
Of the most magnificent
Continent above others
The most adorable and admirable
Of all Motherlands, 
The Landmark of Africa

Contented with bright,
Intelligent faces
Like gas particles 
Moving into the air
Their...

Ripened blood still sleepless
On the staircase of memory
Flying with reliable winds

Mild embrace of the winds
Imprinting the uprooted roots
Sculptures now govern all

Breath of independence
Floating in the midfield of birth and death
Life in the sharp blade of...

I know you are not here 
Do you know who are you?
The son of this land where all your
mothers and sisters are made bitches
where all your brothers and fathers body
become numbed by whips in the...
