Spectral light resounding arcs
healing theistic justice
positively bow toward resonant 
pantheistic patterned peace

When he speaks
transparently
he feels co-passionate

HOLDING TIGHT

Flying to tree tops,
to bottom out.
Such is fleeting youth,
memories abounding.
Climbing out of myself
to recreate the scene.
Holding tight the reverie.

Who can stand to grow old?

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?

"It's tougher not getting old"
because, I suppose,
those who might have spoken
from personal experience
are no longer with us.

My husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha
on Mother's Day

She often shares

Because,

of a raped
and thereby pregnant
vulnerably young and questioning parishioner.

these double-binding thoughts
with feelings still nascently attached
positive and negative,
often complexly ambiguous

Sad and glad
as an old calico sock
become chew toy

How might Earth's underground narrative
of a sacred Tree
speak most profoundly
of old growth economic

environmental trauma?

OK, mindful class,
past time to reopen our nurturing nests,
our nutritional mouths
