Long Revisiting Poems

Why does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings 
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,
some longer,
some shorter 
before naked covered night.

Why life?
To uncover...

"Overcoming misleading [economic and political] metaphors
that are physically [naturally, ecosystemically, phylogenically] in [and of] 
your [ecological-organic embodied] brain

So here's my question for this dawning day,
like a WinWin ruminating message in a bottle
floating through a LoseLose climate sea
felt still foggy from last night,
some mysterious how now;

One of many
health related strategic WinLose issues
tuning out...

Let us begin
by explicitly undressing
what may have been
implicitly held
multicultural feelings:

1. For the overwhelming masses
of teeming and scheming 
healthy human adults,
and especially adolescents,
peak sexual experiences
are also our peak
lifetime
spiritual experiences
of compassion
co-passion
shared orgasmic passion.

2.  Our elder right...

Once pawn a time...

About four plus weeks after
frazzling fiasco from friggin fraudsters
white knight still mourns swindled money

unable to recoup forfeited funds.

The missus served me high test coffee...

Ah... tis nothing more heavenly

I had two big projects
from 1970 to 1975,
The first,
to earn a usually white Bachelor dual-major degree
(which sounds at least sexist
as a usually black, brown, red, yellow Mistress nondegree)
of deep learning about yin/yang,
right/left,
east/west interconnections
cultural communions
between persuasive...

From blank screen to logorrhea, I write with confused adumbrations

Methinks hmm, perhaps

Sometimes pandemic people share
pieces of our unspeakable personal story

That no health care worker,
sex therapist player,
or green resonant systems organizer
wants to hear,
much less smell,
or touch,
or deeply feel...

I flinch, sometimes.

Wince.

Maybe flirt with longer-term
dissociation,
to protect myself
from suicide

First Regenerations
merge into Earth's ecolove
our individuating way

Tips pointed toward ego/eco-faith co-acclimating communities,
bilaterally balancing Either/Or left-brain dominance
monoculturing competitive economics

And Both/And right-brain polyculturing prominence
enlightening cooperative internally bicameral politics

Giving rise to Second Generations
of bipolar RightHand
and dipolar LeftHand

I have lost and mourn a loved one
She was my long time cherished spouse
Was the best friend that I ever had
Brought bright sunshine to our house

We have come into this epic time
for survivors of dispassion
to age into sacred communion
we can all share,
monotheist

and pantheist
and all non-anthrosupremacists
in-between leftbrain 
snarky opinion leaders
and rightbrain 
slippery felt foolish followers
dancing what we must dance

Poetic paean to papa's princess

Otherwise titled:

We are fire.
We fire.
We consume and produce warm memories,
and colder dissonance.
Where were we before first flicker of flame?
What were we before our warm time?

After our last flame expires
is our enlightened distinction
now extinguished?
Or this same where...

Hope for richly resonant peaceful warmth
wraps perfectly and mutually redeeming moments
correlatively weaving absorbent straining ropes
woofing full wefted tapestry
through subtly suggestive tipping points
predicting dissonantly ruddered resolutions,
transitioning shuttering events,

Crowning eco-nomially balanced appositional...

When Donald Trump

that he did not look

or even commit to expanding healthy democracy,
worked well for him.

His favorite public relations strategy

And selecting wall paints, fabrics and furniture, like the sparkle of gemstones.

Like clusters of...
