Long Regather Poems

Truth is a feather 
pushed off to the other side.

Truths are a body of feathers
within which our bodies reside.

OK, students of life’s healthiest purposes and meanings,
it’s time to regather, if you would be so kind.

Namaste.

Easy to get stuck 
inside my head 
outside Earth's neglected 
aching hearts

Breathing in and out togather
fumes of historically fueled
graphite sheeted walls
too all-encumbering to smell
as monoculture's indoor trauma

Failure to wonder
nuanced appositional
wandering outdoor non-positions,
dipolar bipartisanships
passing in transitioning...

I currently conjoin with AllSouls,
a sacred green communion of saints
and sometimes sinners.

A few live together,
couples,
extending families
reaching multiculturally out
through AllSoul roots
regenerating pasts,
transforming future generations
now repressed by fear of global climate pathology
as thick and toxic
as lose/lose ecopolitical...

My Math Teacher said:
I know how to teach you about 1
but can't guide you into comprehending None--0

A more sacredly co-arising binomial relationship,
less traveled bipartisan path
to know Zero rises positive toward full future
and suppresses negative
degenerating back

Shadows seeming to come alive
Light playing trick’s in minds eye
Sound so soft it is barely heard
And .. Nobody anywhere utters a word ..


Silence reigns with no soul
Pavement sweats and seems as glass
Cloaking mist flows through...

I believe
I can be an evangelical
multiculturally intelligent Christian
if I am not an anti-historical literalist,
a fundamentally white patriarchal dogmatist,
using holy scripture to divide and conquer
what divine creation has compassioned to regather.

I also know beyond death's shadow
and...

Through a canopy of leaves
ascending , 
Night a visage of rippling ebony 
her tears falling like raindrops 
bedazzling the dark 
Her arm a windlass 
spiraling coils of silken mist
rolling , heaving , becoming as ether...

On a wisp of wattle
that cradled in the fig,
a dreaming began
as sleep draped veils
to nurture a gleam into 
dazed eyes,
as mantles of moonbeam
wreath temples
I fell to,


A gathering cluster
that saturated all reality,


a sculptor with tool
set about...

I have made my decisions in this life I'm living.
Put forth my best to bring you happiness,
but I'm still giving.
I watch my family regather,
Sharing moments of joy and laughter.
I too am pursuing what everyone's after—
a...

step into the soul
of the needy and the vain,
and walk within the fire
watch the weak stand tall again


from the pit of redemption
crawling over glass,
mistakes will revisit
but with faith it all shall pass


with a prayer and...

To fight to the death and die for your country, 
To me, has never made sense.
Instead, maybe battle today, retreat, regather, 
Then recraft a peaceful offence.

I’m quietly sure nobody wants to die, 
And miss their...

Gutters are bending, everywhere dripping,
patches of snow pattern the ground in blocks.
It is tricky to walk without slipping 
on the old snow trodden. Booted, my socks
drop to my heels as I follow the wall
where the...

              Recollection, regather the meaning of what was meaningful.
Natal moon non-Sabbaticaled, attendant-umbilical.

Umbrellic cloud of sunny disposition_personally renditioned to offer a better window...

It feels like I'm waiting.
But I don't know what for.
Still feel I'm existing.
Nothing else but my soul.

Got mixed in the chaos;
Lost myself in the crowd.
Ended up in the distance,
Now there's no one around.

I sit with...

January Thaw

In the thrall of January’s dismal weather
(Comprising snowstorms and freezing temperatures)
While staring out the window from the interior,
I endeavour to regather my composure
By testing myself with a blithe question, I think keen,
“Isn’t this the...
