Adieu - Part 2

The tears flowed and I still smiled,
My body and spirit and mind,
Were still in that state of residual bliss,
Soaking in your sweet smile,
And savoring the moonlit skin before me,
But my soul was being torn asunder,
And...

The Butterfly, Part I

One warm Summer’s day
As I sat in my folding chair
Something caught my eyey
Something there
Something flying through the air
It was a butterfly
It did flitter and flutter by

When it decided to land
It landed on my left hand

Antiecological Apartheid

Patriotically empowered boundaries of apartheid
are also economic and ecological apartheid
of borders unrecognized by MatrioticEarth.

Economic and ecological apartheid
of Earth's nature ourselves,
one Immigrant Creolizing Body,
are inhumane and anti-healthy faces
of politically empowered fascism,
totalitarianism,
rulership of patriarchally self-inspired Elites

Weapons Down Anger

Anger
is such a useful learning silence tool,
when not too short-term
ballistically reactive,
weaponized.

I have seldom noticed
when my own hot-burning issues
cold turn into
a Self and Other harsh
punishing vengeance weapon.

When left unnoticed,
unmedicated,
unmeditated
by forgiving lack of ego-supremacist
humility

By explicit co-invested intentions
of...

Obliging Earth's Compassion

Love
ain't hate

Divine discourse
denies degenerative debate,
Church
ain't State

Conserving compassions 
content obligations
contentiously Liberating.

I love thinking 
about win/win compassion
disturbed by hated win/lose
feeling obligation.

We/Me wants to conserve
resilient passion/pleasure
peak experiences
yet
Me/We needs to liberate
a more resonant Me
safe from They's
traumatic mind oppression,
body suppression,

Pied Piperess

As Medusa walks in, shuts the door,
caresses precision hand down the mahogany-
and shows one what for.

Senses in starbursts-cloudburst
flavor crystals accenting- your bloom 
of predicate corpus, cat claws in my brain, 
comes metamorphosis-
Led mushrooming depth of...

Soul Contract - Part 2

"Soul Contract (Part 2)"

If God created us? Who created God? And who created that God’s God?
