Misanthropic Melodies

Misanthropic melodies played from a broken violin
Prehistoric prophecies that ignite new ideas before they begin

Decolonizing Capitalism

We are nearly all macro-economic capitalists
Yet micro-economic cooperativists
with those we trust

S/he said
while burning up

Yet,
a Patriarchal Capitalist
has also fully monopolized
his LeftBrain lessons
and monotheistic idolizing faith
in micro-economic,
familial
monocultural tribalist,
nation-state exceptionalist,
straight white male privileged
zero-sum competitive 
commodified consumer relationships

Peaceful Revolutions

History

is inevitably 
win/win felt revolutionary resonant
more powerfully experienced
than win/lose evolution 
thought theoretically resilient.

Technology of YangNature,

for Yang's original EarthPatriotic intentions

As seen and felt
in seasonal choreography,

Following Our Rules

In our Sharing Circles
we have a ground rule
to share a one speaker at a time floor
and unitarian silent listening support

And rules to not share uninvited commentary
suggestions
verbal agreements or disagreements

Hidden Beauty

Hidden beauty resides not in the grace like charms
Of coy smiles 
Painted across a gentle Madonnas face.
Nor is she vested within the chastened vows
Of saintly knights; encased Great-Helm:
Thus maketh the pale maidens meek pulse

Inside the Winter Wild



"Inside the Winter Wild"

Inside the Wild, 

Winter races 
towards Time 
like a runnaway train

it’s shadowy 
and dark,

the wild keeps
without fail
its burning light, 

a passion play

for everything 
and all, 
along the way

discovered

Bicameral Covenants

How is whiteness

And how is maleness

as to where to be

and go

in the rhythmic

Being Heard Is Like Heaven

Through the broken lines of destiny, the shattered strings of time are revealed

The thread of fate snaps, the springs of eternity unravel silently,
