Healthy and Resilient Diplomacy
And I respond
to your unasked question:
What might love have to do with regenesis,

soul

nature
energy

Get No Gifts Sans Giving
Only so pleased by sacrifice
Proffered through sacred flame,
Graceful gods do give gifts of choice
So deserved by unselfish aim;
He that eats fruits by them bestowed,
And gives not so in turn,
Who gets, not so does earn,
A thief...

Silent Atlas
It's 5:30 AM, sky bruised and quiet,
And he’s there at my feet, my loyal companion,
Eyes bright, no judgment, just need.
Out we go, one steady step, then another,
Field sprawled wide, we chase the edges of dawn.

A Beautiful Lie
She met him one October day,
When autumn winds had lost their way.
Leaves whispered secrets down the street,
And fate, unasked, had planned their meet.
He smiled the way the sun might rise
On empty fields and hollow skies.

Climates In Round Color
I could be wrong,
but feel right in guessing,
most straight men
don't understand
Feminists, too,
just like them,
long to answer perennial questions
no one has yet asked
in published forums
for restoring EarthJust dialogue.
What is our unasked climate question?
Hiding deep inside
surgical silence...

Iran and Israel: Mirrors in the Dust
In courts of shadow, thrones are made,
Not by virtue—but by blade.
From Persia’s gate to Zion’s hill,
It’s not peace, but will, that breaks the still.
Two lions stare with burning eyes,
Clad in scripture, veiled in lies.
Each speaks...

From Alpha To Zeta
A
beetle
contemplates
death- with babies,
each one, him reborn.
Fortunately, love's peace,
gives no yearning or felt angst.
Hell arrives, in a spray can's mist.
Instant genocide, heaven's unreached.
Jury is out. Are we thought, chosen ones?
Knowledge born, burdensome...
