Healing Systemic Trauma
Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?
No more common sensory sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominance
oppressing sacred Earth's
polyamorous win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant polyculturing health
Care given
as kind received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth
Maybe...

Sublime Terror
Let's say I am an antro-privileged terrorist.
What would we be saying?
And is human nature supremacy
over all other less sacred nature/spirits
as monotheistically redundant
as anthro-industrious militarism?
If you are a HolySpirit panentheist,
is "religious terrorist" as oxymoronic
as using...

If You'Re Like Me
Fear of Climate Success
If you're like me,
which probably already reduces the size of my captive audience
to Zero,
Regardless,
if we're like we used to be
when we were born
with all the potential integrity neurons
of the uniting universe,
Through childhood...

Dorm Love
Ours was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical,
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.
He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for...

Rights of Prey
Self-pardoning rights of predators and pirates
emperors and kings
CEOs and wealthy competitors
follow our over investment
in separating natural land and bodies
from oceanic surfing inside spirits,
yang ecopolitical strength of communal sight
from yin personal flow of sound,

Soldier
I’m here, in this terror.
Blood, blood puddles everywhere
like after a demonic storm of rain, but instead it’s human red liquid .
Splattering,
leaking and escaping.
More of it appears

Tick, splat. Tock splat

Empowering Passion
In passionate psychology,
powers of proactive compassion
are generally thought of in personal
and familial
interdependently relational
perspectives.
In political science,
large-scale powers for proactive compassion
resist reactive competition to merely overpower the opposition,
preferring pro-active energy for liberal love
constrains against investments in conserving...

Earth Hugging
What could I do?
What to do
when your biological,
and even formerly sober ecological,
relationships suddenly veer insanely romantic?
Or worse,
mistrustful
and yet
not always distrustful,
or not,
maybe deeper sadness
and occasional manic gladness
emerging inclusively wider questions
of approach and/or avoid
Both romantic
and yet...

Positive Political Problems
My fundraising problem with positive psychology,
said the good health doctor,
it is too social science squishy,
not leftbrain dominant enough,
Suspiciously ecofeminist
for natural science pathologists
Straight-White privileged proctologists
urologists
bicamerally challenged cardiologists.
I must concede
not ecopolitically erect enough
correct indeed

Face Masks, Face Veils: Same Thing
https://youtu.be/c1gNm21YzfI
When last I visited India almost a decade ago
I recall riding on my brother's scooter
as he drove me around town,
And I saw fully veiled Muslim women
half their faces veiled, masked in Niqab
driving scooters,...

My Renegade Sunday School Teacher
Aunt Mary was a small and wiry mother
of six;
four by birth
and two by informal adoption.
She sang in a small querulous voice
yet spoke boldly
filled with loving EarthMother
indigenous wisdom choices.
Aunt Mary was a serenely quiet mentor

Decolonizing Capitalism
We are nearly all macro-economic capitalists
Yet micro-economic cooperativists

Yet,
a Patriarchal Capitalist

his LeftBrain lessons

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...

How Many Holidays
How many times have I heard?
The family that prays together
stays together
And, the family that eats together
stays together
I know from personal Holiday
and every day
experience,
neither of these is necessarily true.
However,
I wonder if the family that sings

Fine Print
Public, or even familial, contracts
with predative purposes and rights given and received
move toward more transparency
So local folks
can better monitor
what's extracted from our communities
against what's coming back in
by way of re-investment
in future healthy regenerations
of active hope
