Powers of Enlightenment

I’ve noticed our Republic’s
IrReligious RightWing Tree of Life v Death
reacts to root-systemic problems
as if oak strong branches
lifted to majestic worshiping heights
of crowning supremacy
need not be concerned
with watering
and feeding democratic roots
of nutrition
nursing organic trust
and nurturing EarthMother empowerment.

Such behavior feels less organically intelligent
than a sacred Tree of MotherEarth

More like a gang
of Bully Putin Pulpits
and capital addicted TrumPublican Puppets
with upset expansive stomachs,
boundlessly hungry eyes
and private paranoid parts,
and irritatingly irreligious deaf ears

Trying to feed
from entitled top,
trickling down to lowly
leftover
humiliated bottoms,
what we must primally breed
and seed
from deep down
communing democratic trust inside

Roots musing down
and communicating in
to feed organic communion up
and sacred community out

Conserving crown to root neurological tree-systems
resonantly nurturing
harmoniously liberacious crowns
both/and
win/win
organic/sacred
resiliently conservational root systems
interdependently
inter-religiously
empowering/enlightening communion.

Not quite so angry
with enfeebled branched-out leaders
and not mad
with anemically sad internal conspiracies
and bad dis-investment habits
rather than glad co-investment skills

for resolving which top bully,
devouring all challenger bullies,
will next be crowned King
of trauma-riddled TrumPublican triumph

Trumped-up singing:
It’s my party
and you’ll cry
when I want you to.

Meanwhile
democratic grassroot systemic wisdom
burns and blows
drowns and starves

Degenerating patriarchal migraines
and not regenerating grains
of deep-rooted integrity

to feel multicultural health
trust
truth
beauty
pleasure
wisdom
compassion
loving kindness
pronoia peace

courageous polycultural curiosity
about interweaving wisdom
of inter-religious root systems.

Liberating resonant crowns
and conserving resilient roots,
bipartisan integrity of a wealthy
healthy
EarthMothered Tree.

Or so it seems to me
noticing our disunited Republic’s
troubled Tree of CrownHeavy Life
reacting against healthy multicultural democracy

Deaf
to wilderness voices of dying forests
coral reefs
oceans
topsoil
shrinking polar caps
glaciers
rivers

EarthMother’s unenlightened crown of thorns
and disempowering trunk of sorrows,
man-privileged monotheistic
irreligiously and monoculturally wrong
ecocidally desecrating
anthropocentric maladaptive root-trauma

cannot resiliently support
TrumPublican crown drama.

Growing PolyPathic Perception

“I am circling around love,
around the throbbing hum,
and I have been circling for thousands of days,
and I still don’t know if I am a wounded saint,
or a rainy dawn,
or a creation story.”
Rob Brezsny, in Pronoia

You know the term ionic?

Balancing, like energy finding its most neutral point of stable self-perpetuation.

Also dynamically bionic action across some unstable boundary,
co-relational threshold,
frontier of self and other
subject and object rediscovery.

Ionic stasis is the objective of bionic dynamic transactions,
rather like monotheistic
unitarian stability
may also become
polyamorous pantheistic
universal communication.

Do you know the Word
iconic?

Like a symbol of, yet also in and with some systemic quality
of which it is a participating part.
Like a sacramental funnel cloud
symbolizing continuous revolutions
of Earth’s recycling
reweaving
reconnecting
re-ligioning ecosystems

Dynamically polypathic
self-regenerative and other-referencing
across some stabilizing frontier for co-empathic faith
within a foundational trust, seminal good-faith win/win system
of deductive/inductive bicameral trans-actions,
yang/yin reiterating bilateral structure,
like uracil’s co-binary not/not relationship with cytosine,
double-binding
dipolar

crown liberally refining
root systemic defining
ionic conservational balance structures.

Iconic language generates binomially dynamic interfacing
interdependently re-ligioning active and reactive verbs
re-weaving dialectical distinctions
between ego-subjects and eco-objects
in self-perpetuating relationship
with each co-passionately communicating other.

Binomials?

Like in an out, up and down, positive and negative
co-relationships.
Appositional dipolarities that co-arise, mutually define.
You can’t have me without a you,
1 without a 2,
an out without an in,
salvation without sin,
a tomorrow without a yesterday,
a pleasure-resonant body cause
without a compassion-resilient mind effect.

Each bit of iconic polynomial (P) information
is also not not binomially dynamic communication.
Each P=N(NP) passion-truth/pleasure-lovely co-engagement
includes an appositional not untrue dispassionate disengagement,
implicated,
as in David Bohm,
bilaterally convexed/concaved, as in Bucky Fuller
explicitly belonging within convex singular subjects
and not yet implicitly longing concave dualistic objectives
without lovely
sacred
organic communication.

You know the term ironic?

Where an AntiChrist outcome
feels like it’s just the opposite anxious incoming
of what was anticipated
as a Christian objective?

Yes, like to become so fluidly flexibly stretched yintegrity
that you eventually develop a more ionically unstable
and unhealthy
YangRight v YinLeft
unbalancing despair
of wanting ionic conservational powers
and ironically needing bionically liberating love,
implicitly longing for bicamerally intelligent mind passions
co-arising bilaterally interdependent body pleasures.

To become so polypathically consilient that you begin to discover binomial rhythms
patterns
transmutations
regenerating complex ego/eco-logical prime
and indigenously primal
crown/root
sage/muse
mind/body
thought/felt
passion/pleasure iconic co-relationships,
ionic resonance of yintegral concave pleasure
into more resilient tensile strength
of Yang-ergodic
panentheistic
convex passions.

Ionically conservative communications
with ironically co-invested
binomial liberations
of polypathic crown/root
mind/body
ego/eco bicameral
bipartisan comprehension,
Left/Right
mono/poly-amorous
bi-hemispheric
convexly passionate
FatherSun salvific enlightenment
synergetically engaging
EarthMother co-redemptive empowerment.

Like LeftBrain ego-swelling ionic imbalance shrinks
as eco-indwelling of RightBrain
trust-passion/beauty-pleasure balance swells
into binomial confluence
bicameral complexity
bipartisan inter-religious creolization.

Bionic human crowns
with iconic divinely rooted bodies
appreciating liberal-conservational irony,
synergetically polymathic
and integrally polypathic.

Not not knots.

Who’s there?

You.

You who?

Yoohoo
liberally singing
through a transparently bilateral
co-arising appositional notYang/notYin
bi-hemispheric crown/root dynamic dance
within a binomially co-arising mind/body
passion/pleasure
unitarian/universe.

Nondual dipolarity is as difficult to orthodox
iconic irony grasp
as is not-1/not-0 co-binary
ionic orthopraxis clasp.

Because nondual not-this/not-that dialectical function
is for yangish orthodox monotheistic
anthropocentrically ionic grasping,
and for yin-flow orthopraxis
of polyamorous bionic clasping.

Said BlueWater to RedFire

Angry words have fear-mongering consequences,
said rhetorical behaviorist Hillary,
then Kamala, to Donald,
we would no more peacefully
and compassionately select a Donald Trump as President
than we would bipartisan co-invest to win Donald Duck for Empire Builder.

Words mean things,
said linguistic behaviorist Anat
to her fellow Economist Collective,
and the absence of kind words means something too.
We’re not sure what
but I place my bet
on more discommunicating eco-political
ego-apartisanship.

FatherSun enlightenment led toward EarthMother liquidity.
We know this from our indigenous history
of Yang/Yin Win/Win
environmental science books
but this is difficult to see
how exactly this could be
without sufficient silence to recall
what dipolar co-arising energies lie in wait
within this shared bilateral brilliance.

Fire and water,
progenitors of stardust
eco-empowering,
sacred ecologizing
fertile organic planets
birthing health moisturized wealthy regenerations.

To paraphrase bodhisattva Joanna Macy,
Co-invested communing economics
is not more wishful monopolistic thinking
(or messianic ideation).

Active political gathering verbs
enlightening sacred habitats
do not wait for renowned
divisive
drowned-out
dis-organic trauma issues
to be reverently resurrected
and religiously re-membered
by monoculturing Donald Ducks
or by some Anti-Other quacking
self-serving colonization
of patriarchal monotheistic
discommunicating misbehavior.

Active Hope wakes up in love-life’s ecological
EarthMother baptismal beauty
wonder
fertile light and flowing power sabbath
on who’s silently communing behalf
we can act in sacred light
for animated
organic
polyamorous co-empowerment.

To the responsible Hillaries, and Kamalas:
Follow positively cooperative light,
not so much darkly threatening
reactively monolithic
swampy miscommunication.

To the authoritarian Donalds:
Follow your competitively brilliant
SunFather responsive truth
with EarthMother beauty
loves polyculturing liquidity,
not so much your prized
monopolistic
and monotheistic
anthro-patriarchal
discommunicating fear and anger
military-industrialized pathologies.

Muse Speaks II

This is a revised version of a piece published in a poetry anthology a few years ago. I have added an ecocide-prevention perspective to the original suicide-prevention focus.

When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know loss
is to fear death
of much-loved reputation
and taxing self-respect.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish waxing love.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like “Suicide is preventable”

Which is no more
or less true
than Systemic Trauma is
and is not preventable
within one anthropological
LeftBrain verbally dominant
monoculturally ecocidal lifetime,
or one healthy democratic trust relationship,
one compassionate communication PolyCulturing Story,
one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody
resiliently brilliant
resonantly elegant
polyamorous and possibly pantheistic
naked native Nature
sacred/organic
win/win narrative

Matrimonially prophesying,
When trauma lurks
with upper dissociative
and irreligiously patriarchal
right-handed fist,
To know mental depression
body-shaming repression
cognitive oppression
intuitive suppression
is to fear comprehensive
fight or flight
and critically frenzied frozen events
of neurosystemic,
and now also ecosystemic,
loss.

When therapy
lends EarthMother’s feminist sway
to know resonant win/win integrity
reconnecting healthy life’s
most resiliently wealthy impressions
is to predict patriotic trust
and matriotic safety,
animus penetrating truth
and anima receptive beauty,
expressive cognitive compassion
and impressive intuitive pleasure

Win/win thriving respite
from ego- and eco-distempered,
win/lose survivalist,
dissociatively irreligious,
RightWing dominant trauma history

To fully rekindle compassion’s
wealth embodied laughter
health mindful listening
EarthMother Muse lustery

Organic passion’s sacramental
deep erotic governing
exotically orgasmic
pleasure mystery.

Circling Muses

Music
especially sacred music
feels round

Not such clear lines
prescribing desecrating marches
needing to move somewhere
noting something
speaking against someone
in StraightWhite privileged time

Right/Left balancing divas
sometimes sing in resonant rounds,
round
and round
in circling spirals
never-ending spectral ribbons
eventually blending communion,
emphatically good-spirited
and not dogmatically ill-natured.

So,
to liberated lovers
lusting Left
toward green cooperative choices

And,
to conservative clingers
leaning Right
toward red competitive voices

If you must shout
to overcome dissent

If you can’t sing
and, preferably, dance
all our circling positions
recycling postures
resonating preferences
policies for round
robust
regenerative win-wins

Mind bodied pleasure,
spirit natured peace,
time-spaced Paradise

Then you may be ready
for a lack luster
not really healthy
economic
and political performance

But not yet roundly mature enough,
just yet,
to sing and dance
our multi-cultured communion
prayers

Spiraling in-between
universal root
and unitarian crown
round looping chakras

Circling
and recircling
polyphonic sound
and polypathic sight,
wellbeing sung
and wellness danced.

Choosing Love

I feel victimized
by the commercial success
of what was once a silent,
waiting,
watching
for Emmanuel,
Allah WithIn Us

I wonder
when I become red-faced angry
about not being able to CONSERVE
sufficient power to have my sacred way
right now

If this is entirely different
than when I feel disempowered by fear
of losing what
and whom
and when
and where
and why I have chosen
to love too LIBERALLY

Without restraint,
without constraint,
without greed,
without ego-aggrandizing need

Without anthro-privileged boundaries
to loving
divine embrace,
warm
humane grace

PeaceFull face
of sacred EarthTribe,

UnAppreciated Americans

Our President
here at the local nonpartisan association
also appreciates Americans
he has never met
or heard
or smelled

Not to mention out to get
never ever tasted,
at least without informed consent,
or vulnerably seen
or transparently felt
with copassioned
trauma-free intent,
yet not actually met,
just yet

And
I am confused
that our President would feel
he needs to say this,
as if appreciating Americans
were a partisan platform
advocating politically
and economically unusual
universal health
and safe global wealth
resiliently inclusive policy priorities

Sacredly patriotic
EcoMatriotic regard
for nutrition-based
economic historical
poly/mono-culturing
cooperative/competing
wu-wei YintegralPower/YangLight

transubstantiating neuro-sensory
WinWin/WinLose/LoseLose

eco-political communication systems

I readily concede
I could be wrong
but I can at least imagine
Donald Trump
feeling and believing,
although jaded
disappointed
and dispassionately,
that he appreciates
all those NonWhite
NonStraight
NonPatriarchal EcoFeminists
he has never met

And would just as soon
not change his monopolistic bliss
to CounterCulturally encounter Othering
dark ignorance,
just yet.

I don’t know if it is a positive
or negative coronary corollary
to further extend
this metaphoric analogy

Yet Trump,
unlike Biden,
could never get
a multiculturally gifted American
he has not yet met

But I would bet
it would be hard to vet
EarthTribe residents
too healthy to ever regret
not having had the pleasure
of meeting many Trumpian Americans

Cold greetings
likely best to forget
we all come from somewhere

Matriarchally sacred
as an interdependent
health care safety net
includes imaginatively appreciating

All those Others Othering
unfertilized good eggs,
and thus not yet met.
