If we follow the BigBang Energy Story
told by still evolving scientists,
this is an emergent story of how stardust

and how our Sun becomes the Creator
of Earth's healthy fertile soil.

Our body is only a cloak,
seek the one who has dressed you,
heed not the dress.

The afternoon dances before and night sky
Threadbare shoes dangling on their tired feet

Dirty clothes sticking to their slender backs
And a strange odor circulates around them
Five boys and one girl...

It has been said
Charles Darwin was not happy
with leftbrain's Survival of the Fittest
without rightbrain's ecosystemic health roots
in Thrival of the Fit-in-ingest,

and abhors restrictions on money-accumulating freedom,

But Earth,
healthy global climates,
wealthy ecosystems

and abhor inhumane definitions of "wealth"
as privately-held and...

who doubt mine posthumous

"Royal Jelly and the Hornet Helix"




When the murder hornets arrived
they flashed their big black wings 
like sharp porcupine needles into our minds
we became honeycombed hypnotised, held in their hive,

Each month and 
Each year

Sinister voices heard...

and ethereal disembodied spirits seen
from the other side of the woods
said phantasmagorical sound and sight
