It had been a hellish week.

On Monday
my lonely and tired AfricanAmerican husband
told me, as gently as possible,
that what I had hoped was a temporary separation
is to be extended into perpetuity.

This separation had been scheduled to...

Walking While Reading

I was walking while reading
because this had been recommended,...

Well,...
actually more like required reading
while walking,
rather than too much blindly reading
while passively impassively sitting through
Earth-reflective stalking exercises

For improving body health
and soul wealth,

Not that these are really two...

Exit Strategy

To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled

echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale

silent sacred pause 
for Earth's final soliloquy 

Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy

Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven

Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof

Future obligations
and past assets

Resigning...

Love's Last Heartbeat

In the moorlands of desires, 
I've forever sung choruses of
fertile faith, amidst the flock 
of bleeding birds, sprinkling
heartbeats on lush olive herbs, 
In the dream of retracing their 
scintillating season of beachy spring. 
'Hope' had...

The Superlunary Heart

"The Superlunary Heart" 

in dreams
we meet
the you 
in me

we remember -

although, it is

what the message

Quiet Soul

Her skin is that of alabaster. Wide circles of red rouge pronounced her thin lips and each cheek.
She is soulfully unique.
Her hair of dried stalk was approving to her eyes of vacuous emeralds.

We see them
when we want to,
in our minds

they are always 
mysterious

Fulcrum of a Rose

and honey-glazed fireflies ~

Integrity Grows Sacred

Natural Sacraments

Emerge from what sacred center,
committed to integrity's potential
become more resilient,
and not fragile

More nature-soul evolving
Earth's deepest
widest
longest
roundest
mountainous
dark valleyed sacraments
of light and power.

Gandhi regenerated
humane love lives on
and
inhumane hate
abuse
bigotry
patriarchal colonization
do not.

Even lesser losses
tend to shadow fade
across therapeutic rememorizing...
