Long Preoccupation Poems

Instant individual redemption
from predative enculturation
is overly spiritualized,
under naturalized,
rightwing evangelical dogma
more likely found in empire-building
strong business-loyalty development texts
than multi-enculturing
re-connecting
re-ligioning nature/spirit scriptures.

If spiritual

It did flitter and flutter by

When it decided to land
It landed on my left hand
I...

of all the glossy 
shrouded shrouds

minds spiced
scab picking, their
word salads, tossed

the windbags
