Dark Parallelismus Membrorum Poems

Enjoying Earth's promised land
of compassionate
multicultural communion,
we share a preference for deep
rich soil
and fertile green-blue
resonating surf

As our bodies adjust
to rocky and prickly
either me
or not me space

And...

When I entered the City Senior Center
with my Open Mic proposal
to increase resilience
and decrease apartheid dissonance

I could hear no music,
see no dancing.

The quilting room
and the...

If Thou take not our hands,
and feet,
our bodies
hosting ghostly minds,
our organic inside lives
flowing out emphatic love

We will continue to fail,
to fear,
to feel tired,
retired,
weary,
untreaded,
worn.

When I try...

When dancing Earth's tribal rhythms
natural seasons
light and heavy step
steeped nurturing intent
anxiously dark
anticipating bright
natural exotic music
dancing muse content

While singing deep spiritual
reasons
for light and night,
glad and sad...

How can an omniscient,
not to mention
omnipotently patriarchal,
God

So love the world
that He gave us
StraightWhite Capitalist 
Lord and Master 
anthrosupremacists

So they could infest
and rabidly kill
BeautyQueen Gaia's
polycultural 
panentheistic
revolution?

Why is it?
the louder
and more ballistic
my self-righteousness
offensively becomes

The more
at night
I feel self-loathing,
when all is quiet
except dark ruminations
filling my silent bedroom
overwhelming my mind
and body.

Why is it?

I often hear,
"It's tough getting old."

I never hear
"It's tougher not getting old"
because, I suppose,
those who might have spoken
from personal experience
are no longer with us.

I am...

Like Winter
predicts Summer

Dark grey suffering
is not yet total green forest
and blue sky loss

As one cold
lonely voice
isolating experience
need not preclude
warm
yet alone
embracing vulnerable memories
transparent images
anticipating full-bodied reconnections,

My left-brain dominant challenge
begs for a worldview
of unconditional warm regard

Which sometimes feels uncomfortably warm
through heated confrontations
confused about whose voice is rightfully speaking
respectfully with whom

And who...

What could I say
to change this kindness
you may have warmly heard
but only coldly felt?

How might my peaked
and valleyed,
top and bottom,
out and in 
prelude and postlude...

How would Earth create
and reconnect
regenerate
a species still needing ecological acceptance?

This need to be accepted
and accepting what cannot be win/win changed
just yet
in troubled
and troubling relationships

This need...

What looks sexy
and aesthetically pleasing
on Society's well-endowed Page

May not feel so hot
when StraightWhite Daddy's capital-headed
economic fornication systems
lead toward Great White Father's abortion
of global green forests
and...

Tao of the Cosmic Crack
flowing rivered crotch
between Great White Father's polarizing
zero-sum soiled soul

And silently suppressed
ecofeminist Black Hole 
non-zero vacuous 
double-bind integrity
of spacious firm
and resonant
pregnant possibilities

Win/win...

It seems maniacal,
Black Rabbit Hole easy
kinda sleazy
to sexualize every thought

And, yet, 
all too easy
to desexualize
to decontextualize
multisensory feelings
deep and widely organic
roots from ancient EarthMother wisdom

Sometimes polycultural...

My 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,
