Winter Parallelismus Membrorum Poems

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...

EarthTribe dancing divas
still indulge emphatic circling
meditations

Dogmatically embodying
mindful medications

Producing peaceful pleasures
spiraling passions
against war's relentless anti-paradise

Dancing resiliently within
organic drama
while resonantly without
systemic trauma

Right hand 
and foot 
open out
in...

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...

Help us to be the always hopeful gardeners of the spirit
who know that without darkness 
nothing comes to birth
as without light 
nothing flowers. ~ May...

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,
compassionate...

Sacred,
unlike corrupt,
wealth

May also become
mental health,
unlike pathology

Empowering compassion,
unlike disempowering dispassion

Co-invests in win/win 
economic relationships

Which may also become
co-operative political partnerships

Rooted in courageous
deep felt listening,
breathing,
pregnant pauses
open toward silent
nonviolent...

When I am gone,
in winter's timeless hibernation,
what will you be doing
with this sanctifying place
in time's healing space
refueling mortal rememory?

When you peer here
in summer's eternal play

What are your most winterish
critical trauma events
in these most recent
three millennia?

Why 
just my traumas?
Why not their corresponsive
therapies
for restoring EarthJustice?

Please go on
and on
questioning my questions
seemingly without...

For every relationship
we can rediscover
a season
of increase
and tipping point
toward decrease.

For every correlation,
positively resonant
and negatively dissonant,
a regenerative
becoming degenerative season
for building up and out
and tearing down and...

If we don't know where we are going
this morning
this day
tomorrow
this week
this month
this winter
promising spring

Then we will continue to feel stuck
repressed
depressed
not impressed
with monocultural threats
and monopolistic climate...

Inside monotheistic ego aware
feeling
outside polytheistic co-empathic

These inside enlightened intuitions
outside verbal empowering cognitions
reflecting cooperative
in-between positive co-relationship
representing explicit wealth wants
and implied health needs

Win/Win co-relational regard
awareness
noticing all genetic...

Summer soared,
"We love the Beloved,
so sacred is our Love-identity,
my Win-Win regenerating strategy."

Winter sneered
"I hate the Hated
so severe is my Hate-identity,
my Lose-Lose decomposing strategy."

Spring responded,
"I will...
