Green currency
currently has a capital city way
of ungreening pastures,
dying waters,
spoiling mother lands,
decapitating valleys of red-flowing death,
fears of divested death,
war-torn unvictory gardens,
childhood dreams of peace
and nightmares
of capital-infested war machines,
robots,
goose-stepping soldiers
bearing automated black and white rifles,
either death or life,
you or me,
mutually ungreen
disempowered,
While cooperative
deep qualitative
memories of Earth, pre-capitalized,
and healthy ego wealth
playing ecological green win/win
nurtures greener theological pastures,
and cooperative self-government of grace
restoring living ecosystemic waters
of justice,
MotherEarth flows uncapitalized nutrients
dark and light
wane and waxing childhood lucid dreams
no greener than just right.
Dance with wind's breezing flow
blowing in as out,
breathing out then in again
hands and feet extremities of life breath's hard felt flow
swimming rich re-connecting rhythmic flight
stance of natural spirits timing
red cardinal patterns perching
heart flight moments
held on fragrant lilac parasols
sun lighting branches
growing down into deep elder grey rivers
of hard-shelled sappy gravity
growing out
glancing in
through flirting eyes without flow
in bearing life's wavey chances
out
Dancing rhythmic breaths
and red blue bloods,
nurture revolving rueful rivers
of sufi EarthDancing
lilac trees with winding sap
from well-souled root systems
flowing life's swirling prance
collaterally cunning
uncapitalized content.
Dancing breath embodied wind
kneading Earth's flee
and flow without
breathless sighted flights
of echoing re-ligious image
flying cardinal reds
through purple dancing
lit up lover lilacs.
