I suppose it is not for me to say
if I am truly,
holy polycultural,
if I have given sufficient sway and swag
to ecological and eco-normic We.
My redemptive measure,
merit follows permacultural design,
deep creation,
consumption balancing nutrient production standards,
decomposition harnonizing regenerating practice,
not polycultural perfection,
but permacultural Climax Community intention.
Life gardens.
Some are messy and richly fruitful,
riotously joyful,
revolutionary fertile.
Some are orderly marching
toward their own future’s demise.
Life gardens yang and yin,
out and inside
seeding back and forth across time’s life-death boundary,
if here now
then not here tomorrow
outside memories still incarnating,
forming and dysfunctioning,
decaying and recaying,
make-haying while Earth’s light shines bravely on
blending polycultured dreams
into gracefully encultured explication.
