Long Stockholm Poems

I am reading my Resilience Systems Manual,
avidly,
like an underfed developer
hoping to strike gold
while laying healthy habitat foundations.

Today I see Community Resilience mention
Tipping Points,
dipolar appositional,
when exceeded 
on a WayTooMuch Yang OverInvested
Western dualistic
nature ain't spirit
so divine couldn't...

"Yes, this is all still so amazing what impacts the soul truly; and in what ways." This fond endearment was in the Spring Time of our Love as I remember. A perfected shoo-in. 

This was...

I ask for answers to my problem around midday, carpenters nailing tables beyond their voices. Thinkers building fence of gold, wiping the devil under the shadow of death. Callers piecing information together to make me...

It's Hard for me to say, but even harder to realize,
That everything I see is laced in pretty lies,
It's hard for me to be, as confused as I am about it.
I try to turn blind...

I woke up one morning in a world full of lost things,
with no recollection of how i got there.
They curled around me and taunted me, examined me carefully with their hands so that they could...

I am a puzzle
made of pieces.
One for the girl who woke my heart,
one for the girl who broke it,
one for the man who shook it,
one for the man who took it
(when it wasn’t his to...

"No One's Betrayed Me Like You!"

At first blush, one might feel this 'curse' meant to condemn
but I beg you, take courage and listen with Soul,
for it isn't said often (though million times thought),
but with love...

I SHUDDER TO  THINK 

I  shudder to think about the way 
Some  vegetables are  abused every day -
With physical  and psychological  slights
In gross violation of their vegetable rights.

Handicapped vegetables...

Wandering alone with a heart that’s aching evidence  
The fences you’re always sitting on, more numerous than my internal injustices 
Not that I can really talk 
Choking on all my hypocrisies 
And biting my...

L i f e
a prison of pretense
and I still dream of
walking through tempests of chaos
barefoot,
allowing stones and pebbles
to tattoo my languid skin with love in lilac,
as ashes of yesterday
erase the thunder marks
that struck my spine

A letter to Sweden

Every year, I say, Come August, I will travel to Sweden
but when I go to buy a ticket, the price has gone up and
I decide to wait until next year.
Once, I met...

a life is a life
there is no grading scale of value
irrespective of
country of origin
or country of residence
or country of destination

a life is a life
we are all children
of God
there is no lesser God
there is no greater...

In the labyrinth of appearances, life stretches like a carpet of shadows,
I still dream of walking barefoot through storms of stellar chaos,
letting stones embroider my skin with love in shades of amethyst,
the ash of yesterday...

I've given it thought 

I've tried reading your heart 

It never worked 

cause you made me wanna kill my art.



What am I doing?

Maybe I should just leave myself alone

and bite my bones 

What am I...

Stripped
Barren
Nude
Undressed
Exposing what’s bare
Leaving me defenseless
Maiden violated
Pillaging her treasure
Wearing down the broken
Makes you hard as steel
Mother given the mark of Cain
The Crone cries for what
Was lost & stolen from her soul
By the tin man born without...

Wealth,
in a competing anthropogentric,
aging egocentric,
world
depends on cooperative health
of LivingEarth;

To paraphrase Johan Rockstrom,
from the Stockholm Resilience Center.

Our comparative wealth map,
is not SacredEarth's cooperative health territory;

To paraphrase Gregory Bateson
of Ecological BiLateral DoubleBound Mind Mapping.

Our wealth medium,
is not...

It started with a handshake,
then a hug, and then a smile;
We’d never even met before,
and still I felt it all the while.
I felt the silence breaking
and the wall start coming down,
and soon I’d trade my...

I am so tired of forever.
Seems there was something I left behind in another life.
I asked the mirror and the mirror said, 
“You can do better.” 

There are papers spread across my bed,
Books strewn, open...

Follow the rules or what?
Will you hit me with a belt?

I am an American you know.
So, I don't dig the junk you blow.

I can see what's coming down
the pike!
You think I acquiesce and never strike?

It's...

My passion that died, u revived.

U woke up my senses, caused my

It is the witching hour.
There are no breezes in a windowless house.
There are no shadows in a cave devoid of light.
There are no dreams in a sleepless night.

The corporation offers logo wear

Dazzling subsidized cafes

State of the art fitness centers

They bring the dentist, dry cleaners 

And hair stylist to you

No need to leave our campus

Ever! Never! Never!

You won’t be able to resist
