Does life seem to you,
as love does to we,
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
Positive engagement
does not engage negative performers
as if some lives
are divinely entitled
to redemptively matter more,
and thereby attract glowing floodlights
Upstaging those worshipping lesser
unstraight
unmale
unwhite gods
and goddesses of trust
and compassion
without boundaries
Backstage,
opening opaque
and closing vulnerable curtains
breathes diverse gender icons,
sexualized idols
Muses
recomposing noted feelings
from inside out,
hard erect warriors
embracing soft receptive catchers,
absorbent empathizers
Integrity's copassionate healers,
pulling and pushing together
1 way
with 0 means.

We whimsically wondered why
wandered victims by
and through our uniquely human history
of sexual trauma
and therapeutic politics
Mythically hinting
hunting
poly-resonant
mono-vulnerable
half full, half empty
gendered pantheology
Spanning spies discovering economic magic
denies political monoculturing tragic
outcomes for godlike monolithic
monotheistic empire-building
Wherein straight white males
disproportionatly championed
a revengeful
and punishing MonoPolistic Judge
polarizing One-1 omnipotent God
While unstraight
unwhite
unmasculine
marginalized
enslaved
and colonized
Would restore Mother Eartha's original
nurturing conservational economy
Nutritional ecosystemic politics
for wellness-natured spirits
Advocating sexual polytheistic immanence
imploring sacred not yet empty
circling recycling interdependence
inspiraling half-full health
pregnant with potential
sacred safety
half-empty zero-0 wombed
regeneratively polytheistic.
EarthMother sacred psalms
invoke reconstructive words
and loving deeds
With Her Sun of universal peace
and unitarian justice
for all living
forgiving CoCreation,
and not Just Us
Who are anything but Other
co-evolving meaning
within one truly sacred HolySpirit,
from biophilic womb
through necrophilic tomb
back to womb
sacredly again repurposing
secular mind embodied
static states of short-term health
relonging for ecstatic stirring

systemically appreciate more sustainable peaks

Beyound the horizon, it is hollow
there is a bleakness in the wind i feel
like falling tress with no sound to follow
like my weak spot, the tendent on my heel
'Tis the path i walk, dirty and unstraight
yelling at the top of my lungs with force
its a sad tale, we are victims of fate
at the worlds end, i feel your remorse
tears fall as you refuse to take my hand
i feel heartbroken as you make your choice
i watch as you slide of you promise band
i scream but heartache has swollowed my voice
this is the end for both you and for me
it is truth, we were never ment to be
