Grand Mother Eartha's DreamMy husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha
on Mother's Day
She often shares
last night's dreams,
which too often follow rather disturbing peak experience themes
Because,
you know,
or maybe not because,
how would I know?
Dreams about Her Straight White AlphaMale trauma

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...

Salvation of a Formalist, An Ode To EntropySalvation of a Formalist, an Ode to Entropy
by Michael R. Burch
Entropy?
God's universal decree
That I get to be
Disorderly?
Suddenly
My erstwhile boxed-in verse is free?
Wheeeeee!

The Book of Changes
"The Book of Changes"
Thoughts arrived before words,
1000s of years before
the crossing of curves
always seen to be
swimming upstream
against the current
thoughts … and feelings,
in the flow, always arrive
before words, they are cast
in the...

Burning LogsEach flame
elegantly weaves in waves
flowing up from resources red cinder hot,

of beauty as integrity's truth
trust each surrounding flame.
Each flame
unique in point of origin below
as ubiquitously flickering fading destinations above.

Father Time's InterviewHi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?
False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional...

Why LifeWhy does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,
some longer,
some shorter
before naked covered night.
Why life?

Red and Green ChristiansLet's start with a fundamental flaw of fundamentalist Christianity,
a literary flaw within literal non-interpretation of historical creation

Yangyyolks With Yinyin-WhitesStart and end each day,
and life,
with a taoist egg.
I doubt my eggs are religious.
No, but they are natural,
organic incubators,
co-arising nondual yolk form
with white-transparent regenerative function,
teleology,
and cosmology, maybe,
if you're a chicken,

Bipartisan DissonanceWhen oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

Professor Glory's Active HopeThe title of this talk today,
"Win-Win Politics of New Feminist Economics"
suggests questions,
more than emasculating
definitively deductive
reductive
answers.
Would you imagine
a minority-identified Buddhist,
more likely as a feminist
or culturally comfortable

Contract Against GreatnessIn Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"
she paints a nationalistically wealthy saint
where also lives a monochromatically utilitarian narcissist,
sucking on attachment to fame and power
for bought and sold ZeroSum accounting Souls.
