When seventeen,
I wondered what I would become
when grown into my own fullness
of love,
preferably requited.
Now seventy,
I wonder at what I have been
all along this journey
into Earth’s great bounty
of infinite ancestral compassion.

Relationships I Hope For
I need clear blue rivers of life
to not always flow away from me,
in some direction
I can’t
or won’t
go right now.
I need green commitments to home
to feel mutually nurturing,
sheltering,
organic,
peaceful,
cooperatively engaging
in nonviolent communion,
co-passionate integrity
of sacred emergent space.
I need the sky
to not always feel grey,
dampening my curious natural spirits.
Instead,
I want to always imagine,
as needed,
as invited,
as if sun summoned,
a radiant blue sky
singing reflections
of invisible spinning stars
on the other
lighter side
of deepest icy winter’s
dense
dull
dark cloud bank
of settled in oppression.
I need rich black soil
to support my feet,
my nose,
my stomach,
green trees,
brightly colored plants
and amazing animated animals
giving back robust excretions,
reparations for past extractions,
borrowed co-investments
infesting EarthTribal
creolizing rich brown humus.
I need my rain-bowed neighbors
to notice
applaud
cheer
celebrate
when two elegantly athletic white swans
sensationally fly upstream
to hang out at our downtown harbor
where we eat
and drink,
rest
and float,
dream
and gloat,
on land
and sandy water,
at least side by side,
if not honking happy
swimming together.
Abyss of EarthTribe Bliss
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.
Kindred Spirits
Yours is my sacred non-zero soul
core center shared
within
Surrounded by your robust
fertile
masculine energy
Not to exploit
and yet not too shy
Not too retractive
nor extractive,
equipoised
Anticipating
our cooperative re-investing,
powerfully ebbing
and succulently flowing
further enculturating future.
So, I do not cheat without you
in my most polypathic

Always knowing we must each

and full-clothed return
to yet another Patriarchal

OmniPotent Love
If your Straight White God’s
powers of love
are not omnipotent enough
to include Queer love
then S/He is too weak

For Me

as an integral part
of EarthTribe We
Curiously forgiving all
Straight White idolatries
of dark fascist powers
against green and fertile
integrity.
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,

Of Earth’s sound tribes flowing

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

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.
