My Man, His it
A mother to you, a son to me, sucking the life out of my bosom and weep in disgust when it's saggy.
Men love a tempting hole to fit in,
to dissolve seeds of bliss and then chymic wring
it barren of faith.
They carve open doors in me and call it a home.
women love a alchemist man ,

Death By Predation
Nature isn't Disney
No wild animals die of old age
They die of hunger, exposure, illness
Parasitism, injury and predation
The first five manners of death
All lead to death by predation
As the animal becomes too weak
To defend itself
Predation means
They are torn asunder
While conscious and aware
Of what is happening.
Compared to their fate
The hunter's

Hourglass of Primal Wolf Skulls
Why does he provoke me to anger?
He stalks among us - with his song -
a wolf's grin
His inimicality beckons
like a hawk's talons,
luring prey to certain death
Yet he imparts wisdom
to those who bleed
Beware!
his insights twist
like a pit of pepper x vipers;
devouring souls He spins tales of survival
and primal instinct
Beneath the façade
lies decay
concealing

Predation
It creeps over beer stained carpets.
Last night I saw its hunchbacked shadow
rooting in the fridge for spreading cheese.
This morning it peers out of my front window,
looking to see if anything has changed -
nothing has.
I know it will be up all night
shaking an unlit Christmas tree,
it will moan. It imagines
rearranging my leftover life
for another

Planted and Harvested
If it is true
that only one fundamental,
all or nothing,
choice in evolutionary life is offered--
To eat
or become someone else's dinner
Then, are you choosing to remain
the Exclusive Eater,
Selfish Harvester,
or the Weakest Plant
not yet sacrificially eaten?
What if both could be true
for you?
Cooperatively planting
what we will inevitably harvest together
To gather only what we planted:
One both/and still connected nutrition

Social Climbing
For Trumpians
our multiculturally celebrated Golden Rule
applies first to Ego
then to immediate white privileged family,
then to wealthier gated community,
then to a more rabblous Republican Party,
then to USA nationalists
European predative culture idolaters
mistaking capital-inspired Manifest Destiny
for sacred DNA theology,
then to fallen Earth,
if there is any gold left over
after all that strained dispassion,
divestment fatigue
stretching out from entitled EgoCenters.
For Green

Predation In Woeful Times
Predation In Woeful Times
By Roy Merritt
Life is getting ghastly now
For few it seems sublime
Everyone engrossed with thoughts
Of predation in woeful times
In times like this trust for neighbors
Is a luxury you can’t define
You can’t depend on anybody
With predation in woeful times
Who knows if some day soon
Some day just down the line
We’re all at each others
...

Predation
There was no clear move.
Flamethrowers were on the way-
and I was looking,
backward.
A fragile truce with the
clouds. They had abandoned-
the sky and were wringing-
the neck of mountains.
Compromising with the painted lips
of winter, my secret was out.
I was shivering in the crowd
of moon-gazers.
