“The core of knowledge is love”
Satha Sai Baba
This dark November night
in New England
has come but midway
I, not so bright,
have given in
without a fight
to insomnia.
Above the small round yellow light
on my factory 48-pane window ledge
overpowering my bedroom walls
soar grayly up
toward a faint 16 foot ceiling
dark, also not so bright
when time to pay the factory’s bill
for heat
and light.
I woke up thinking about natural love
as my perfection of spiritual knowledge,
which is so far from perfect
that compassion too often remains
hypothetically unhealthy;
again, not such a bright
yet curiously necessary light.
My love has preceded coming out,
but has also followed from
indigenous perfection
of matrilinear knowledge,
that resiliently courageous DNA
embedded inside the nucleus
of each of “my” organically cooperative
synergetic,
win/win home team
cells
made of more resilient knowing might
than this stretched out
November love of night.
I remember warm
sacred EarthMother
resonant wealth
holy of home wholenest feelings
Fresh from Her womb
therapeutic Beauty feelings precede
but also restoratively follow from
perfectly healthy democratic trusts
in spiritually regenerative Truths
transparent as tonight’s opaque glass
vulnerable to personal
yet multigenerational ass
umptions
That insomniac drifting meditations
and medications
will not, tonight,
ease my economic
and politically vulnerable knowledge
my compassion’s transparency
sadly feels less brightly resonant,
Less depression-proof resilient
than these remaining hours
before dawn relights
Earth’s coloring in knowledge
loving powers
To turn off lights
in timely nights
knowing the end
Brings new knowledge
begun in EarthMother’s sacred love,
Integrity’s Great Reweaving potential
green cooperative history
Knowing sight
and meaningful
resonant resound
As my night seizure knowing son
rolls over
peacefully in love’s eternal
Loving Here
greets Knowing Now
Regeneratively bright
might imagine starlight
singing to revolving
ringing shadowed
deep autumn night.
Tomorrow is local election day
to reconsider transparent
climate trauma’s multigenerational knowledge
politically and economically vulnerable
to EarthMother’s long love memory
regenerating empowering
enlightened ecofeminists
Supporting bicameral knowledge
of democratically healthy
recreative
loving health/wealth balance
Before and after knowing
light’s brightest night
kinda perfect passions.
