Long Reconnected Poems

We all feel like
dying to get out of here
at least sometimes;
a meeting
a relationship
a job
a car or bus or airplane
a house or apartment
a nation or state
a Party or clan
a faith community or PTA.

This is about the...

Self as Other redeeming
invasive species
responsively mirroring 
co-empathic esteemers

CoMessiahs
not even primarily historical remembered persons
plants
planet
isolated from cooperative redemption,
communion function
flow of regenerating healthy salvific change
in divine-humane primal becomings

Like Full and Empty

Dear Brother,

When we were children
adults often asked us
What do you hope to be
when you grow up?

But, our brothers and sisters
were more likely,
and probably more wise,
to ask
Who would you most hope to become?
To be like?

Which implies,...

Imagine
if you would be so kind,
join me
in striving to become 
less blind

Brilliant God says:
Give to your oppressively militarized government
weaponized suppressive
defensively repressive
straight white monotheistic privilege
paid for in tax advantages

And so
it was nationalistically done

Every fall
all co-invested residents...

Why isn’t human history taught as  part of our still evolving creation story?

How could our great ecopolitical drama not continually refine nutrients of language with ecosystemic regenerative functions, 
as distinguished from sometimes toxic and...

How might Earth's underground narrative
of a sacred Tree
speak most profoundly
of old growth economic
and political
environmental trauma?

A question I forgot to ask
when I was younger
and more disabled
and WhiteMale monotheistic

How might even Republican Red MotherTrees
avoid secularized Self-serving
by Capitalizing...

It is not patriotic
to desecrate a flag
or even denigrate a nationalistic anthem
celebrating a war-torn patriotic flag.

Yet is it even anti-patriotic
to refuse to bow to it,
the flag, that is,
to not stand with supremacist intentions
while singing about...

What does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?

Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances
only,
in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport
across Earth's MotherLands
and feminist HealthCare Oceans.

Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds
cannot...

I have an inside Mother Eartha Voice
which She would prefer
to keep hidden
given any cooperatively healthy
democracy choice.

Mother Eartha
does not necessarily trust
the sexy grace
and beauty
of all Her StraightWhiteMale
potential Allies

College educated
but RightBrain contextually
environmentally 
straight white privileged
tone deaf

Unaware of...

As I look and listen,
human lives explore individual purposes,
like making breakfast,
as divine love engages co-relational meaning,
like preparing nurturing gifts
of sacred EarthTribal communion.

When social
and cultural,
mental
and physical,
spiritual
and natural health care
nurture our highest
and deepest
and widest
and most resonantly resilient
sacred...

and kept trying to set her up,

But Lin had found a make she liked,
and by my side she...

Hi, my name is Elizabeth
And i am an addict
However i must be plain forthwith
My addiction is quite severe

I am not addicted to drugs
To partying or gambling

I try to live
and feel
and think
and strategize win/win
in-between left and right place
for systemic ecology in
and global, multicultural theology out,
natural outside relationships 
amid spiritual inside harmonic polypaths,
ancient resilience with newborn resonance,
yang and yin
explication now implicating,
extrinsic and...

Hey Mr. Editor,
It's not very often we hear true stories of enduring Love that grows with time. I can 
hear the cynic groan as I write this, but it's a good human interest story and...

Secrets of the Soma

We don't wear our mind on our sleeve
We wear our mind.
Our body is an extension
Of mental characteristics and environmental dynamics, 
Like a suit custom-made from our past,
Each scar a sovereign of pain...

It's much too close in here
for loneliness,
or companionship.

Either way,
I grow too small
non-existent
non-essential
undervalued domesticity with insufficient commodity,
just another over-populating parasite
underneath Earth's glamorous backside;

Suppressed incubator within a more integrating place
of nonverbal language
and full-octaned relationship toward outside 
somewhere,...

How sad!
How bad
I didn't know, I just found out
Your lovely daughter, she spat it out
Nine years had flown by
I did not know you were going to die
Even when we reconnected you were braver than I
You...

It has been very difficult

Living my whole life
without my natural parents

And for the longest time

I never knew there names

But I did find...

Meth, my cruel mistress, you had me in your grasp

You promised me euphoria, but all you brought was pain 
You took my...

Noetic integrity

Together contributing to our

Just as an interpersonal connection

If a statement is True,
such as
I am WhiteMale,
then the oppositional statement
I am BlackFeMale
is False
which enjoys equivalent truth value with
I am NotBlack/NotFemale,
and I am WhiteMale
back where we started,
more obvious rather than less obscure.

But, if a statement...

Me Myself and Iphone


How’s the line can you hear me now
I’m getting bad reception

They say these gadgets make life easier
But maybe that’s self deception

You’d think out to...

In The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying,
Sogyal Rinpoche writes, unconvincingly,
to my left-brain dominant ears,

"No suffering,
however dreadful
[and even mortal],
is 
or can be
meaningless
if it is dedicated
to the alleviation
of the suffering of others."

This abstract act of "dedication"
