Noneastern Family Politics
I began reading Jane Anna Gordon's "Creolizing Political Theory"
from the back toward the front,
as usual,
because if I appreciate where this narrative journey will end,
then I probably will find we start off with similar questions

Compassionate Returns
Your compassion reveals
mutual biological interests,
a powerful tool
for focusing fertile thoughts
and pent-up feelings
My passion regenerates
articulates
seeks to accurately label
read and process,
attend to your best nonviolent communications,
nonverbally hummed flirtations
of this
our potentially significant
Otherness.
These compassion communications,
positions,
postures,
poses,
plays,
prances and dances and trances,
Intuited...

Parallelismus Membrorum
Power To Embrace Difference
St. Francis prayed for politically active
nonreactive empowerment
through serenity to change what we can,
and to walk away,
without loser disgust
but with winning acceptance
for what we cannot systemically
resiliently
internationally change
into a healthier wealthier climate
(yet).
St. Francis further...

The One I Love the One Who Love Me
It is a Sunday morning.
The day before was still,
yet eventful and surprising:
sacredness met in holy places
and inspired persons.
Petrified trees and slave traders’ bedrooms;
cattle grazing and the ancient one sleeping.
The quiet sounds of lit boats by...

The Askance Chapter 5 Part 5b
At my will, it began to glow a little with a startling tingle
Daring a series of slashes, I feel to be more at ease as I mingle
And into the rhythm, I forget away my troubles...

Exclusion
I know the game of exclusion,
have played it all my life and
now I've mastered it,
a talent to brag about.
Exclusion from normality,
the joy of inclusion.
Exclusion from continuity,
the malaise of discontinuity,
the permanent otherness.
It's a mystery how it...

Flatness
Flatness
Consider the possibility of becoming
a two-dimensional surface
with no thickness whatsoever.
No, face-down on the floor won’t get it;
at best your nose will be in the way.
You’ve got to get lower, closer,...

Seventh Floor
At dusk, a brilliant western panorama
displayed off our seventh floor balcony.
Fluorescent colors, clouds of fuchsia, amber,
yummy yellow golden glazes across the sky.
So spectacularly spanning sentient space
a show of shows of unearthly grace.
Looming large clouds block...

Elation Vibrations
In my eighteenth season, strangers used brotherhood as decorative
ribbons to gift me a feel and a truth that have stayed my life long. At a nature adorned ranch flowed a celebratory wedding reception upon...

Not For Personal Gain Or Glory
Like the Vikings who left us this word – ‘berserk’
some of us may have shown it through human reaction,
where we go berserk against disproportionate behaviors
such anger or infuriation that defines the immediate actions.
It’s still...

Opera for Feminine Otherness
Demigirl Definition
A space between
Androgyny and conventional binaries of female identity
A gender not recognized by mainstream policies
And subjected to the far corners of the Q+ community

The Gospel of Hospitality
Described as a pillar of commitment
in relationships between hosts and guests
hospitality plays the major role
in making Scriptures speak to life situations.
The biblical recounts about these people,
like Abraham, Lot, Ruth, David, and many others;
their expressions of...

We Are One
I inhale your scent
exhale my tender intent
a love song which portends
dreamy passion of my fashion.
My gaze of adoration
reflections of adulation
light from your eyes urging
my burning flame surging.
Such a sigh of lust that slips
as I taste...

A Moment of Rest
Let us dine on sugar-spun moonlight:
an exquisite treat that
Fills our bellies and sticks to our teeth,
The nostalgic taste of White Rabbit candy,
Creamily sweet, wrapped in rice paper.
We shall be weightless, infinite,
Childish for once....

The Velvet Echo
"The Velvet Echo"
Lives
eclipse
one comes in
the other out
passing light
in empty hallways
corridors of subversive
romantic notions
strange singing,
the sounding lifts
waves
enticing,
smiles curiously
unsure, in the drift
towards another life
oceans deeper across
invocations, swimming sirens
beautiful...

Kaddosh
Elsewhere in biblical literature or in many human experiences
the act of being in the world with others speaks volumes
about who we are and how we form our interconnectedness;

Unconscious Bias
Life slithers satisfied in the self-made narrow furrow,
I incise in the known terrain to travel to tomorrow.
The journey I waver to take beyond the familiarity,
for the company of kinship is a kind of security.

Dim Is the Trial and Limitation of the Unseen Imagination, With Which I Cannot See
If I only could see that which is beyond the pale of the limitation of
The complexity with which things espial are thus espied.
If the round pasty pastry-
Complete with its rind of crispy, golden-brown, flaky...

Making him argue with me about something silly, so we can make-up.

Walking to class a different way, because I know I’ll...

Humanity- -
Humanity - tormentor of my dreams

Take thy transcendence from out my heart aching
I crave the human, humane humanness breaking

Flora Crescendo In Hawaii
I believe that long ago, the universe’s most artistic landscaper
mixed woodlands with tropics, mountains with heaths, and streams
with waterfalls that were next blended with an ocean. Man named
