To be tossed in chains below deck on the Portuguese ship Tecora,2
Sailing the Atlantic Middle...

“The True Mother”

What part of a heart
in another could one trust
when betrayal comes
like a silver bullet, words and deeds
sharp piercing to burrow 
bleed out Life’s dreams 
rust crumbles to dust

Virulent apathy spreads 
Betrayal’s destruction

With my quality quantity 
Oh oh look at how I have evolved

Victorious flirtatious foreplay

I awoke early - now my body will sleep,
though thoughts rise like the Azores
of snuggling next to such an adorable atomic

with worldviews recombining
Liberal YangTruth and Conserving YintegralBeauty
in co-empathic compassion

Nonviolently hopeful
win/win bicameral intelligence
exploring why

We ask ourselves, where can we find the spark

They say society's heart
is changed by story

for healthy and pathological stories?
Experiences,

ecologies,
theologies
with active Yang EgoSubjects
and yin Eco Understories
favoring healthy WinWin ego/ecological theory

The next day. It was iffy everybody 
Was tense. The Hakim family was
Distrustful of The Black China Men.

And ignored the proud in...
