Father Parallelismus Membrorum Poems

My favored Muse
mysteriously asks
muted
kinda sexist
win/lose 
either/or 
complex bilateral questions.

Oppositional
defiant
nearly despairing quests
exploring why I have yet to find
Faith
Hope
or delightful Joy
as names for a boy

Who might be...

Said flowing River
to glowing Mountain

What warms deepest
Thou cannot see
from sacred heights
of eternity

Robustly responds
growing Mountain Here
to deeply embedded River Now

What spills widest
shared compassion
Thou must deeply feel

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

How might my peaked

and perhaps traumatically
just made hard and patriarchally up
is not down

soon enough for healthy comings 
and goings

Flying free
in rooftop ecstasy

Raptor's wings direct
with feathered pins strong, erect
swelling mountain chests

with wings wide spread
Left then...

When you and your wife visited,

In favor of ancient
transparently royalist wisdom,
"Don't even look at me.
Either you got it,
or you didn't!"

Too 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

What could I do? 

What to do
when your biological,
and even formerly sober ecological,
relationships suddenly veer insanely romantic?

Or worse,
mistrustful
and yet
not always distrustful,

Imagine the protagonist
in your messianic adult
ego-story of therapeutic development
is a Father,
And your antagonist
is FeMale Othered,
more second class
poor in Enlightened Spirit
for commercial grade empowerment

Left behind by...

Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace

Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you

And yet,...
