I acknowledge his company.
This simple recognition gives my...

Pequot River Land TrustOnce,
or twice,
maybe thrice,
surely not
not fractal
A clan of crazy ecofeminists
conspired within an 88 unit residential castle
in their historically converted
sometimes hysterically clueless condo
colonial-red predative brick
badly bald aging building
With a sometimes soggy south walled school,

Healthy Caring SystemsToo many times sadly
too seldom gladly
I must learn to trust
Earth's future more
Both Father Sun's timeless
rounds of enlightenment
and Mother Earth's
codependent rhythms
regenerating rich
empowering
soulful soil
and surfing seas
And this trusting more
impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and...

Sweet Oz is a soulful snuggler;
he really is one of the best.
Sometimes in bed
he snuggles my head,

Misguided MeditationsI am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.
Even worse,
I remain embarrassed
for spreading it out
for key staff
and leaders
to well-positioned see
and hear
and feel,
touched by wounded toxicity.
My training
and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.
Within this...

Compassionate ReturnsYour compassion reveals
mutual biological interests,
a powerful tool
for focusing fertile thoughts
and pent-up feelings
My passion regenerates
articulates
seeks to accurately label
read and process,
attend to your best nonviolent communications,
nonverbally hummed flirtations
of this
our potentially significant
Otherness.
These compassion communications,
positions,
postures,
poses,
plays,
prances and dances and trances,

reversing "evil"
that could transcend our individual absence of identity?
