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 
of...

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...

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 

Act 1: Physicality
I am a tangled mess of tree limbs

A Glass of Wine

A glass of wine 

This is ridiculous it has no name engulfed by sadness, two bottles of wine and cigarettes 
and I’m drowning. Tomorrow no more, but I know when the sun falls so will...

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;
as men and women who walk with our...

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...

Tha Boyfriend

Making him argue with me about something silly, so we can make-up.
Stealing his pencil so he has to put his arms around me to get it.
Walking to class a different way, because I know I’ll...

Humanity- -

Humanity - tormentor of my dreams
I discovered the people diverse the scream
Limitlessness - limitlessness - limitlessness!
My ephemerality I could not awaken limitlessness
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

in the public square
you are not to be questioned
just admired 
      for your dark demonstrations
of being

the hanging black spider waves its life at you
perhaps the arachnid lover is demoralized
