Tears of joy
are so much sweeter
than tears
and fears of sorrow
Yet no more resonantly
or less dissonantly
salty
With EarthTribe’s life-giving womb
recreating
oceanic awe,
Deeply organic
whole-sum
wandering wonder.

When Wrong Goes Right
When bad choices
speak in wrong voices
delivering shame,
deserving shunning
and irrepressible self-blame,
Reconsider this jump
from bad choices
to “wrong” voices
unable to consider tomorrow’s
potential more right rejoices.
No one of us humans
has divine omnipotent might
to make all the right omniscient choices
spoken belatedly by unchosen judgment voices
To be omnipresently good
and regeneratively healthy
and impenetrably safe
for ourselves
for our loved ones
for our species
for our plants
and living planet
at all times,
in all multicultural inside places,
and polyculturally robust
outside wealthy spaces.
On better days,
well fed and watered and rested,
we may try more benevolent curiosity
about why feeling good
and healthy
can seem so frustratingly short
and insignificantly small
compared to long time
and large resources
Invested by patriarchal god-fearing
straight white corporate capitalists
to entertainingly seduce
and identity reduce
you into isolating bad faith consumer
feelings
Erupting in egocentric
left-hemisphere dominant voices
that habitually collapse
bad
unhealthy absence
of potential right hemisphere co-relational rejoices
into inevitably wrong
unwealthy feminist choices
Speaking in wrong voices
delivering shame
deserving dark fame
swamped by irrepressible self blame.
The Choir Audition
Why does she know
laying our music down
raises musicality
reality up?
Does she also know
why my lips prefer to sing
in resonant Oh,
Oooooooh…
oozing round O’s
and singular Ah’s
free of mapping static lyrics
Lines sung
hung
rung right or wrong,
good marching when uniform,
bad when too shy
of improvising bold
multiculturing unity
Harmony musing
amusing spontaneous drifts
and rifts
of EarthTribe’s light
bright woke-up
out loud power focus
Searching out deep whole-sum liturgies
of octaved musicality
we share
when fine-tuned to listen
for our not-so-silent breaths,
anticipating life’s next cooperatively felt
and politically co-empowering
story.
Songs of sacred circling lines
and whole systemic spaces
clever linearly written,
yet never speaking totally predicted sounds
resonant transcendent
anticipating in-between joy
and silent
nonviolent
resilience.
I wonder if she feels
as I sometimes can do
that muses nurture music
as abusers remain
narcissistically
patriarchally
capitalistically competitive,
unsympathetic
Lacking indigenous co-empathic wisdom,
Yang universal
Yintegral unitarian
musical integrity
Of Earth’s sound tribes flowing
songs and rhythms patterning
natural narratives,
curiously intimate Earth Day
anthems
Dancing spirited
taoistic breaths
bicamerally cooperative
contemplating solidarity
sung clarity
Under a zillion twinkling
zen core inkling
starlit choral nights.
Weapons Down Anger
Anger
is such a useful learning silence tool,
when not too short-term
ballistically reactive,
weaponized.
I have seldom noticed
when my own hot-burning issues
cold turn into
a Self and Other harsh
punishing vengeance weapon.
When left unnoticed,
unmedicated,
unmeditated
by forgiving lack of ego-supremacist
humility
By explicit co-invested intentions
of nonviolent verbal communication
informed by nonverbal win/win felt intuition,
bipartisan green consensus
For paying forward residual profits
of bicamerally balanced
co-passionately held
co-investments
Now silently neglected
in a more long-term LeftBrain dominating
colonizing monoculture
of win/lose shame and blame
Other
Alien
Enemy
Xenophobic supremacist
lingering long before and after
royalist reactionary
revenge,
Playing with BusinessAsUsual
Zero/Sum Closed degenerating
risky systemic compromises
Falsely agreeing
to disagree
about who profits more
from Mutually Assured Destruction
yet feeling everybody loses
in an overheated war,
no one left
to silently
reflectively keep score
Detente
camouflaging unresolved potential
for healthy and safe
win/win cooperative
green economic and political
integrally compassionate
resolution.
Perhaps this angry turn
to burning out red hot revenge,
retribution,
win/lose capital monopolistic,
vengeful and jealous,
self-rightenously extractive
and divinely-inspired
overbearing
patriarchal straight white monotheistic
Omniscient ego-saving face
of nation-states
reporting dull Loser
unhealthy climate
fading statistics
sometimes more masochistic
depressed
about deserving
emotional and erotic neglect
and physical
dispiriting abuse
from EcoFeminist Earth
CoArising
in other less than sanely sacred spaces,
sadistic
capitalistic gotcha games
Short-circuited
most win/win effectively
by bodhisattva-grade Win/Win
co-invested commitment
LeftBrain
out loud disagreeing
against RightBrain felt
Othered
depressed
repressed
suppressed
disagreement feelings
Cognitive/Affective co-punishing dissonance
stress
chronic underlying trauma
of silence
rewarmed toward therapeutic potential
co-arising cooperative reflection
While quietly accepting
and silently celebrating
renewing awareness
of inhumane win/lose Business As Usual
rediscovered as less powerful and health enlightened
than win/win cooperative co-investment
in democratic co-governance sharing
caring about all Lose/Lose traumas,
big and small,
recent
and long ago
Renewing spacious multiculturing revivals
recommiting to humane/divine
Win/Win restorative justice,
therapy of active musing
polycultural
polyphonic
polypathic joy
of Open Organic Systems
EarthTribe’s regenerative life
inclusive love
rerooting sacred hope
That agreeing
what is LeftHemisphere health care
giving communion
and receiving resilient resonance
is also RightHemisphere
intersectional safety
secure unitarian interdependence,
serene universal security
When
and where short-term uniting
ego/eco dancing dopamine
greets long-term universally co-passionate
singing serotonin
As night
dawns dance revolving into each new
ego/eco-systemic
bicameral play day
Remembering silent righteousness
trailing stone cold anger,
silent sails
back through pre-history
of polyvagal neuro-systems
Long
long before international anger
became such a useful learning silent tool
when not RightWing fired up
Leading to ballistics
as if short-term war
might finally lead
to peaceful climate health
As nonviolent co-empathic silence
leads toward
active cultures
musing forth health compassion.

Savory Springs
If pulpy green words
had red meat nutritional value,
As feelings have openly positive
and closed negative
nurturing peace normals
and turmoil boiling abdominal
abominable abnormals,
robust health feeding
and sick bad watering,
What would you choose
to feed your co-passion learning kids,
your cornucopia complex spouse,
your significantly nonOthered
this ego-cooking day?
If fertilizing actions
were rooted in compassion
as light
fades into night
Dreams for healing yourself,
for saving this EarthTribe
self-cognized
humbled
for Whole Earth empowering
enlightened
dawning peaceful governance,
Who
and what
and when
and where
and why
would you co-passion with,
co-invest with,
co-operate with feeding bright?
This PeacEarth crunchy day
and Justice restoring
spring flowing
heart glowing

Reds Against Queens
Although I am a queer white Queen
let me reassure you
I can be just as mean
or as green,
Mr. Clean,
as any fascist
conjured in your wildest
wettest dream.
I can kick my ruby RightWing heels
and hold my green skanky breath
as long as it takes, tis true,
until you eventually agree
to turn less boring white
and unenlightened blue
It’s true,
I can spread my fascist net
get in line with Straight White Men
with penile envy
of dark-skinned vets
you never could acknowledge seeing
in the singing shower
much less slurping
in your homophobic panic
nastiest place to hide
just yet.
Although a queer male Queen
married to the blackest man
you’ve ever seen,
You may rest re-assured
I’ve clearly found it true
as blue:
Once a person
and a nation
has tried black,
There’s a whole lotta happy folk
don’t care to go back
to refight a civil war
against a white flight bully bore
Supremely self-chosen evangelists,
y’all just help me
deeply snore.
You think
and feel,
know
and spiel,
I’m rotten to my core
because, like your sissy sister
it’s men this male adores
But, if men were good enough
for your sainted mother,
and hers too,
and my two,
let me introduce this thought
to you
It wouldn’t really make you
all that blue
to admit just maybe
all that pleasure
could suit a special man just fine
too,
But, don’t worry,
be happy,
I’m not the least bit hot
for white bread
RightWing you.
Radly Bad Religion, and Politics, and probably Sex
Sad
mad
wealth of bad;
Not so glad
not so rad
and not really healthy gonad
regenerative gospel.
Sad sex,
mad religion,
wealth of unaffordable,
rapaciously bad politics
seducing capitalist white bad boys
with mad cash investments
in wealthy corporate religions
with win/lose purposive missions
To forget we little regular folk
may all worship different Sons,
but all those Sons and Suns
and heavenly Daughters
share one Holy Green EarthMother
Nurturing,
sensitively natural,
ecologically nutritious
Not so unenlightened sad
Not so disempowering mad,
Not so health care bad.
Not choosing life
as love
story’s win/win co-arising cues,

Enlightening glad multicultural nonviolence,
green communion,
EarthTribe here is now
radically empowering
mystical peak
root-systemic

Polyvagal

Left hemisphere agnostic
Right hemisphere divinely engaged

bodhisattva messianic Planet.
Who could imagine
One ZeroSum
without
Earth’s biosystemic Other?
What could be Now
without someday becoming There?
Yang strength resonantly Now

Saving Face Campaign
Nonviolent designers
of Public Service Announcements
Like “STOP”
smoking
shooting up
drinking
trashing
burning
ignoring various morbid diseases
sinning
sundry mental/spiritual pathologies
unsafe behavior
And feeling ugly
smelling
bad sexing
eating crap
unsafe touching
declaring vengeful wars
Straight White Male supremacy
ecofeminist confused agendas
greens
reds
whites
blues
browns
blacks
Lust
rust
greed
going to seed
All these STOP campaigns
seem to miss my pointed
loser experience
that aiming for what makes me right now happy
is, perhaps, a long-term disgrace
So, what I aim for
instead
is whatever lies
and hiddenness,
safe camouflage
behind
and beneath respectful society’s
muttered under sour breath
“good riddance”ness,
I aim for saving face
You can campaign
all commercial day
and consummating night
to persuade me that my health
is also our happy
absence of communal fright
and resonant,
perhaps even resilient,
brilliantly enlightened
and empowering wealth.
But,
in my heart
of hurt
addiction
depression
anxiety
remorse for an angry life
at least half dead
from fear
you may uncover me
in ways I can’t pretend
to self-righteously defend.
I need some campaign
even larger than anti-addiction
to thinking either bliss
or blues,
Win/lose
Earth’s evolving
devolving runaway mission,
money exchanging zero-sum remission,
Not for peace,
or win/win health is also wealth,
or whimsically precarious
happy nest.
I want to join
Earth’s Great Return
for self-regenerating
revolving annual campaigns
springing climate forth
summer’s healthy maturation
falling harvest wisdom
wintering indigenous
sacred
nurturing meaning,
Theological enlightenment
ecologically empowering
in-between
co-arising Yang SunGod
and Yintegral
Matriarchal Earth
Tribes consuming public campaigns
green co-passionate
communion
saving Earth’s most happy face.
Chill Dillen
Are you ready to greet
this new day, Dillen?
To get up off your
couch-chilled feet,
to bring new warm meanings
to life lived without deadly restraint
embraced with sparse complaint
to repurpose all our favored ways
and means for chillin
Are you ready
to give up all ego-fattening strategies
to hardly survive
the WhiteMan’s rage
raving consumer competitions
Are you ready
to gratefully engage
all EarthTribes
cooperatively willin
To take
and make
and rake
and shake
and bake
this day’s new choice cake
not fake
for thrillin
All who meet you feelin
you, our fully engaged
young Black American son,
the only one
Earth brings forth
for this still perfect multicolored day,
chill Dillen.
