GrassRoot UpRising

Asked the crowning Trees
of their Grass rooting neighbors

When you feel like singing
while dancing
are you more likely to invoke devotion
to capitalism’s competitions
or compassion’s cooperation?

Responsive chords,
amusing reeds
and whistling thistles
shyly reply

When we feel most wealthy voiced
and healthy choiced
are we more likely to invest
in red soiled cults
of secular supremacy
or green cultures
of sacred communion?

MotherTrees of crowning shade
for their root systemic neighbors
flexed their branching muscles
groaning
moaning through Earth’s wind
and rain,
heat
and pain

Our best way to heal
Othering smothering instincts
is to repair our shared cooperative soil
restoring EarthPeace soul
of co-invested health

Thereby growing out
our shared climate
with compassion’s devoted wealth

Sang the crowning Trees
dancing with Grass rooting neighbors.

Not So Great Expectations

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 named
willful Father William
or Pastor warlike Warren
or Patriarchal terrifying Terrence
or even red Deacon Fred’s
bruising win/lose plots
against Reverend Bruce.

Vengeance is mine
says retributive justice
Preacher Justin
proclaiming blame
and shame
on monotheistic Religious Teacher
Shane.

Meanwhile
wise elderly EcoFeminists,
warming the pews
and cooperatively co-invested offering plates,
continue singing Joyful journey praises

Of Faith’s passionate commitment
inside EarthMother’s cathedral Grace

And Hope’s sometimes unsisterly
yet sincere advocacy
for paper straws
to win EarthTribe’s straining race
against ecocidal ocean polluting
patriarchal time
and desecrating capitalistic
commodifying space

Wherein my favored Muse
mysteriously asks
muted
musical
win/lose
either/or
complex bipartisan questions
of secular health care
and sacred safety shares,
music’s dissonant glare,
bemusing bewares.

Spiritual springtime
invites Aunt April
Matriarchal May
Joyful June

While natural full-summered lust
and bustling Buster
fluster hot
sweaty
sometimes angry
idolatrously crusty August
oppression
suppression
repression

Negative impressions
of Winny’s winter
wounded

Emerging Tiffany’s
annual Epiphany,
favoring ecofeminist Muse
mysteriously musing
kinda amusing

Play It Again

If it’s not organic
it’s not sexy
and probably not all that funny
either.

If it’s up and down bipolar movement
with your arms and legs,
it’s Yang male energy,
and potentially horned up
and/or out.

If it’s side to side dipolar,
it’s Yin synergy,
all about love
spreading liberally up
and distended out
for thrival

Up against hate
with bent body
gathering in
self-defensive down
deep root systemic protection,
survival.

If I’m sitting silently inside
feeling unconditional warm mind/body
deep listening appreciation
for and with and of
all spirit/nature
mind/body
time/space organic EarthTribe

I may also become a dancing organic muse
inside my mind
imagining peak musical experiences
outside embodied

Singing my softest
and ultra-soprano highest
and hardest
and low sexy slow
baritonist
love songs

While dancing
praying
playing
meditating mind
medicating body
moving as gracefully as might be expected
inspected
judged
appreciated
enlightened
empowering
this sexual-systemic member
of the Ancient Gay Men’s Choir.

And I really should moisturize more bipolar
AND dipolar,
more fluid
fluids
more amusical

Less silently
and lonesomely depressed
and chronically anxious,
knickers in dried-out knots

Falling down low spirited apart
co-arising up
multiculturally together

With unconditional warm
and passionate regard
for healthy and safe
song and dance
and lavishly lustful
moisturization

While driving a deep leather convertible
top down
thrusting forward
love machine

Silently humming power
while driving toward integrity
deep listening engagement
before Sabbath TeaDance

Well moisturized memories
going back
and back
and Yin back
and Yang forth

Yin down
and Yang up,
Yin below
as Yang above

Water receiving below
Wind perceiving from above
sacred moisture
unconditionally warm
erotic fertile
exotic funky
sometimes ironic
mind amusing
body music

Resiliently engaged
in silent root chakra
resonance
nurture
harmony

Neurosystemic rhapsody
healing…

We Came To Pass Peace

Said the Palestinians
to their Israeli neighbors
singing and dancing
karaoke on the Strip

I wish I knew
how to pursue
dual citizenship
as readily
as you

To which Israelis
responded to their Muslim neighbors
dancing in sacred dervish spirals
with songs of 40 year journeys
into We Haven’t a Clue

So what shall we do?

Let’s all apply
for dual citizenship
on this EarthTribal Strip

What could our governments say
to deny this sacred integral Way?

Both together
and apart
we know our governors
are not here to be our keepers
of narcissistic
nationalistic
and alarmingly ballistic
defense.

Our empowering folksongs
empathically resonate
with peace and love demands
for compassionate EarthTribal dance

Better religiously together
than disintegrating apart
from our karaoke on the Strip
song and dance togatherers

Descended
from ancient shepherds
dancing through inhaling
and exhaling monthly moonlight
singing under shared story stars

EarthMothers
unexpectedly
miraculously
emerged from Black Holiness
with singing children
and inspiraling sabbath men.

ReGenerative Health Systems

In Regenerative Design,
dialectical cooperative contrasts
need not also mean
suspiciously diabolical
competitive win/lose opposition
to our own internal RightWing
self-righteously
kinda venomously
prejudiced inside ego-supremacist
voices.

In Regenerative Communication,
sometimes questions
are expressed as peace-intended
hypothetical Truth Statements,
awaiting sacred polycultural transubstantiation
through healthcare giving and receiving
solidarity

Of a global multicultural full-spectrum
wellbeing value system
for cooperatively unitarian co-investments
in uncovering copassionate win/win

What is the sacredly felt difference
between integral revolutionary integrity

v. democratic healthy politics
of a restorative justice empowering

Can we compare distinctions
without natural/spiritual differences?
Indifferent LeftBrain

Full nondualistic dipolar spectrum

Becoming globally shrill

Is like believing our best

by noticing 4-harmonic decibel

of gospel sung chords
in well-deep solidarity

With each discrete 4/4 temperate
rhythmic patterned octave

Without also noticing
most of our right hemisphere interdependent feeling

MultiCultural Health

When I choose individual regenerative health
I may be reasonably influenced
by potential for economic wealth
as compared to trauma
of individuating degenerative depletion,
absence of resilient well-being,
resonant win/win swelling wellness.

Sometimes more easily missed
is my ego’s individual personal swelling cancer
premised beyond Earth’s cooperatively communing resources

Beyond democratic globally inclusive political wealth
of ecologically polyculturing relationships

More prominently powerful,
enlightening wise
indigenous nature/spirit nondualism
of health empowering
Ego/EcoSystemic
copassionate communications,

Of sacredly musing amusicalling communities,
green new through ancient blue
universally regenerative synergy systems
optimizing my wealthiest possible

Muse WithOut Music

Silent scored
red-hearted consciousness,
feeling empty when noted nonverbal
and then filling up
and out
and over into voices
green positive
and ultra-violet negatives
doubly anticipating and anxious times.

Silent hearts invisible
blue quaking lines
not invincible
for surviving today’s healthiest sung purposes,

Yesterday’s
and tomorrow’s musical
deep learned meaning mystery
of living
vibrant
yet unsung
private
hidden history,

Muses of multigenerational culture,
healthy sweeping wealth
and pathological empty
muted stealth

Anxious to avoid loneliness,
a life not mattering,
sputtering,
splattering,
flattering
darkly saturnine,
not working out,
not playing around,
exercising bland premedicated
meditated consciousness
of silence

Within echoing
cacophonous languaged voices
of Earth’s regenerate Muse,
sometimes too desecrated degenerate,
yet always historic co-musicating,
mediating multicultic cultures,
violet
and nonviolent

Silence
between mused notations,
anxious and anticipating
mutations

Silent scored
red-hearted consciousness,
feeling empty when noted nonverbal
and then filling up time
and out
and over into voices
green positive
and ultra-violet negatives
anxious anticipating rhyme.

Family Jazz Farmers

I am reading Wendell Berry stories
again,
still,
today.

And notice
over these past several weeks
he unfolds two bipolar themes.

Berry is,
was,
a cooperative Southern neighborhood farmer
of organic hospitality.
His protagonists grow on multigenerational farms
as Berry grows into writing while farming,
thereby farming readers
co-investing in cooperative
organic
ego-feeding
ecosystems.

But Berry’s NegativEnergy tension
emerges against nationalistic
anti-productive family
automated military ballistics
reaping death harvests.

All forms of death
are terror
in and outside Berry’s local farm community,
Yet death’s most absurd forms
are international and civil wars,
tariff warts and tumors
against short-handed family farmers.

As any farmer
worth her compost
knows,
Everyone losing opportunity for organic life
risks isolating
marginalizing
competing
de-commodifying death.

Similarly,
I hear an NPR commentator
this evening
remind us
Everyone loses empowering trade
in declaring wars.

Whether firing retributive ballistics
or tariffs
or both,
bleeding death and threat thereof
are the opposite of cooperatively farming
and feeding health
together.

Wars are LoseLose Games
unto violent absurdity
while cooperative farming,
planting and harvesting,
culling and replanting,
seed sharing and mutual cooperative composting,
multigenerationally,
is WinWin traditional healthy economics
and family politics,
secular democratic trust
and sacred faith
in PositivEnergy ZeroZone communities.

Similarly,
I hear another NPR commentator say,
of an iconic Jazz Master,
whose primary instrument
exploring high and low extremities
of piano-fortes:
He performed cooperative jazz
THE Right Way.

This seems to smirch the Master’s reputation.
Music performed THE Right Orthodox Way
is not jazz,
without capital-hoarding over-investments.

Jazz is not ballistically force-fed at people
Music sharing is about cooperative RightBrain planting
and harvesting invitations into resonant life.
Jazz performance
at its organic ensemble creolizing best
is about several right and left farming ways
inviting us to muse with
our right sharing amusing ways.

THE Right Ways
are about competitive performance wars–
who gets the biggest and baddest button
spotlight,
and not at all about jazz forms
of cooperative improvisational farming,

Recomposing stories
about healthy forest
and ocean
and breath
and light major 7th
and dualdark minor diminished
octave sharing.

I was dreaming Wendell Berry poetry
again resonant,
today.
