Such Tenderness, For the Mothers of Gaza
Such Tenderness
by Michael R. Burch
for the mothers of Gaza
There was, in your touch, such tenderness—as
only the dove on her mildest day has,
when she shelters downed fledglings beneath a warm wing
and coos to them softly, unable...

Energy Democracy V Fascism
I suppose
cannibalism
is the logical conclusion
of rabidly overpopulated fascism.
Some cannibals,
perhaps all,
ate their human prey
not for typical nutritional reasons
like other forms of digested nature,
but more specifically
because those dining
hoped their prey's sacred powers
would thereby become their own,
conjoining for...

Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep
“Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep”
Following the Babel paths,
where footprints progress
like rough-hewn braille,
temptation shows itself well deep
to be turned and touched,
substantially labyrinth
The Open
is lead
further in, and...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 12
His words stung me, as the cries from the maelstrom seem to retort
Their scattered, foreign words and wails retching their say
I listened, almost mesmerized,
Pulverized
“Come,” Said he,
With threatening authority
Upwards, higher than the balcony from which we...

My Odyssey
Here, I am...
Retired,
Happy,
Sitting on the relaxing throne of my age,
Reminiscing what I went through in life.
A mere spectator I have now become,
Observing in silence the works of men,
Having no worries
Of carrier advancement,
Of acceptance,
Of recognition...
Free at...

Palestine
by Mahmoud Darwish
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
This land gives us
all that makes life worthwhile:
April's blushing advances,
the aroma of bread warming at dawn,

Prisoner of the Matrix Loaded
Prisoner of the Matrix loaded
Prisoner of the matrix loaded
Cattle within the herd
cages within the slaughter
Profiteers prey upon the wounded
Branded comodified beings consumed
In consumption
Led to the plunder of themselves
Within the plotted grids of bondaged earth
Still between...

Ask if we'll ever see the end of wars and you're bound to hear,
that it will never happen, not in a thousand years.
I hear you loud and clear, but I just don't accept it.

Slice and Dicey Ecofeminists
We could invite many ways
to slice and dice the prism
EcoFeminist.
I first ran into this label
when spoken by a sexual advocate
in the early 70s
at the University of Michigan,
from the mouth of a transgendering ecofeminist
who felt more...

Silent Oceans, Holy Wombs
From Earth's original OceanicWomb
our DNA regenerate Soul emerged.
Yet these are yet One
Sacred Ecological Nature.
DNA's memory strings
of Spiritus-Anima Mundi
became Greek encultured MotherWomb
of holistic uniting Earth.
Spiral dipolar poetry of motion
and emotion,
commitments
and recommitments,
bare analogical deep values
for regenerating healthy...

Reentry Priorities
I find imprisoning parallels
between early Nazi Germany
and early Roaring Trumpian 20s USA,
between fascist and fake propaganda,
between judicial patriarchal-privileged racist stockpiling,
between CEOs living above our democratically inclusive laws
while self-pardoning for agressions,
trespasses,
debts against a cooperatively co-investing society,
between...

Good and Bad Faith Communities
Prisons fester further desecrating guilt by association
as churches
and synagogues
and temples
and mosques
foster sacred innocence through re-association,
communion of the wanna-be saints
and Bodhisattva suffering warriors
for EarthRights Peace and Justice.
When our faith communities
feel like monoculturing monotheistic prisons
of fundamentalism,
then our...

And the ghetto kind of days

Stretching Integrity's Goodnews
I find at least one difference
between owning water and energy outright
and co-owning water and energy delivery systems,
transport infrastructures.
The latter is cooperatively optimal.
The former is resiliently impossible,
unsustainable hubris.
I also find it not necessarily true
that colonization can...

Show Me What Life Is
I move my hurtful head and stare forlorn
Over my non-existing boundary,
Where past is seen and future laughs decayed.
Here language is an unwelcome guest,
In stillness awkward, clean environment.
My eyes stay empty, yet insist and glare
Through looks...

Dramatic Monologue
Feeling Better, Maybe Not Bigger
Each sacred RightBrain
is one of many DNA-RNA scripted WiseElders.
RightBrain's first Word for perfectly humane,
energy or nutrition,
depends on exterior or interior perspective,
resonantly compatible with emergent LeftBrain ego-strength
as also Sacred RightBrain EcoFlow
of Energy's Nutrition.
What pre-millennially grew YangPatriarchal
