opens this new eye day.

Am I OK?

Healthy?

Compromised

air inhaling
"Death, tonight,
or some tomorrow,
my life's inevitable

no longer curious,
final answer."

Warm, wet exhaling,

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

We cannot continue to fail,
to fear,
to feel tired,
retired,
weary,
untreaded,
worn,
unpleasant,
numb.

is like musicology
except music theory
is about how to write

still indulge emphatic circling
meditations

systemic trauma

Right hand 
and foot 
open out
in...

If now is your time
in this final threshold
between life

it's Yang male energy,

Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?

No more common sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominant things
oppressing sacred Earth's

promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant synergetic health

Care given

where
and when 
our bodies find serenity
in aesthetic beauty

Of minds feeling trust
when
and where
bodies receive neurosystemic 
win/win ecstasy
of naturally spiritual compassion.

May our...

Guns,
and ballistic threats
don't settle anything
They can't,
more quickly
kill.

Mindfulness,

and legislative systems
become more mindful,
less judgmental,
by restoring win/win hopeful...

that virtuous circles
engage healing intent

While viscious squares
of bad-tempered stomping
marches much less gayly
toward escalating drama
with harmful trauma
and persistent
discontent
