EarthMothers
know we breathe in
a cooperative
domestic
micro-economy of sacred organic co-redemption,

Universal green ecological salvation
uniting EarthTribes’ co-empathic
healthy democratic wealth
for restoring win/win global EarthHealing

Empowering
enlightened restorying of non-violent communication
in-between all MotherEarth’s polypathic Voices
investing in polymathic
cooperative health/wealth ego/eco-binary Choices.

EarthMothers also glow
with dispassion for monocultural invasions,
global extractions,

Of robust
polyculturally resonant
multicultural health
indigenously sustaining multi-generational Here/Now wealth
of cumulative
synergetic
integral Wisdom

Of EarthMothers
anxiously aware
that this global climate pandemic
is an unnatural public
and privately unspiritual defiance
of an anthrosupremacist
monoculturing
invasive patrilinear weed patch

Of inhumane
anti-religious world views
rationalizing StraightWhiteMale privilege
over sleek and sexy entertainments,

Investments in satiated comforts,
alcohol clouded abuse,
addictive gambling on unhealthy risks
of depopulating Earth’s humanity

And civility
and complexly felt compassion,
nonviolent communication

ReOpening EarthJustice
restoring resiliently healthy
multiculturing wealth.

Counting Cumulative Costs

What does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?

Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances
only,
in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport
across Earth’s MotherLands
and feminist HealthCare Oceans.

Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds
cannot divide such universal costs
against ego resilience
too willing to sacrifice ecosystemic environmental health,
transmogrifying into angry
and frightened cosmic players
in toxic EarthMother quicksand

No longer so patrilinear certain
where Earth’s regenerative humane losses began
and EarthMothers’ degenerating ecofeminist gains
become reborn
restored

reconnected
religioned multicultural health values
indigenously Win/Win
upending Green Common Values,

NonViolent ecological dialogue norms,
speaking logos/mythic restoring EarthJustice
theological values,
listening for integral Whole Wild Earth multicultures
of co-invested compassion

Underlying anthrosupremacist presence
costs transportive health and communication safety,

Whose EarthMatriotic absence
divests of win/win reiterative opportunities
and over-invests in win/lose redundant risks,

While Yang’s Great Universal Capitalized Earth
counts only patrilinear monotheistic costs
charged disproportionately
against NonElite Yintegral EarthMothers
invoking unitarian co-redeeming economies
for our ecologically compatible
co-passionate
co-empathic value development

Weeping with anger
and fear
of anthrosupremacist cost overruns,
Lose/Lose runaway dis-ecological mono-theologies
of jealous StraightWhiteGods
invoking anti-multisexual rage,
missionary greed exceeding messianic grace.

Capital-Colonizing-Caste triumphalic consciousness
left-brain monoculturally dominant
Either/Or reductive patrilinear bias
means not Both/And
inductive matri-multi-poly-thecoistic regenerative

NonViolently evolving dipolarity
recounting
reconnecting what has devolved
into bipolarizing demonic dissonance
infestment
global loss of ego/eco/theological shared values
costing right-brain synergetic sacred suppression
diminution
division
dissociation

Of Multi-generational
matri-cumulative recycling DNA treasures
inside/outside rememories
retelling costs to natural seasonal
spiritual development

And cost-effective dual-redemption ego/eco-nomials
of spring hope investment accounting

And summer faithful regenerative climax
enlightenment

And autumn’s health and safety
robust harvest empowerment

Of winter’s whitenoise wisdom wealth
without compassion emptying costs
of monopolistic right-wing reactionary Walls
against MotherEarth’s Original Prime Communication WorldView,
left/right bicamerally winged,
walked,
sung and danced,
heard then seen,
smelled then tasted,
touched, then felt healthy needs
and cost wealthy wants.

What does it not cost
to support a health-restoring justice EarthTribe,
living home,

Climates in Round Color

I could be wrong,
but feel right in guessing,
most straight men
don’t understand

Feminists, too,
just like them,
long to answer perennial questions
no one has yet asked
in published forums
for restoring EarthJust dialogue.

What is our unasked climate question?

Hiding deep inside
surgical silence of denial
erasing prior presumptions
of noble humane noises
neglecting wilderness of outside voices,
proEarth choices.

I can feel this holy aspiration
to multi-culturally know,

Or, at least listen for sacred hope
outdistancing secularized
demonized
criminalized despair

That longs for profoundly democratic healing
outside loudly pacing threat

Against transparently discussing
what peace costs
transubstantiating active distrust
of space empowered
time enlightened Others

Who might not forgive us
for trespassing against their safe manna-fed breath,
securing our full
round
securely colored sight lines
multigenerational spaces
sacred places
for and of silent solitude.

Where does realistic cultural compromise
resonantly close begin?

When does win/win multi-partisan climax of victory
most resiliently open end?

Does whole EarthYang health fill in
as aggressive extraction
of silent singing EarthBeauty
flows Yintegrity ailing out?

Why does ancient enlightening spiritual wisdom
lack sufficient natural empowering knowledge?

How does silence
interrupt
and erupt
Earth’s best natural/spiritual questions?

What will we become
outside inside
full grown up and down
and all around
our octave keys
and fractal clues
emerging radiantly complex
full-sung complex silence
of compassion?

Who would love to outside dare
such self emptying green peace
without inside red despair?

Watering Local Gaian Grace

One of the least talked about,

Well fed and watered

Is to explore together
how and when to work around

Even if a skilled multicultural facilitator

and preachers
and secular/sacred town leaders,

Even if a restorative justice advocate
for cooperative predator/prey dialogue,
steeped in non-violent communication deep listening experience,
were to invite a like-minded reading circle,
and/or a singing/dancing multicultural liturgical celebration planning committee,
and/or an organic community gardening and composting neighborhood

and/or tool and transport and home sharing cooperative management,

like degenerative caste systems,

Priests or evangelical preachers and rabbis,
and all religious professional teachers,
both economically and politically dependent
on corporate faithfulness and integrity,
will, at best, select their most powerful surrogates
to represent and speak with their home faith communities.

Instead of starting with clergy meetings
to inform and invite faith community buy-in,
maybe it is our revisioning Public Health Emergency time
to go directly to the local newspapers,
to localized chat rooms,
to Facebook pages of local congregations,
to City Hall on-line conversation boards,
to the local utility company,
to parent-teacher dialogue rooms,
to volunteer Sunday/Sabbath day teachers
and deep listeners,
to community gardener websites,
to library chat rooms,

To any and all local byways and on-line direct highways
to connect
and reconnect with local feminist/ecomatriarchal political leaders
and faithful everyday practitioners
in the League of Women Voters,
the NAACP,
Adult Education Curriculum Screeners,
Senior and Youth Centers,
wherever we might discover,
recover memories of supportive youth
and women’s circles,
book reading rooms,

Wherever we might still look for education that is deep listening
non-violent
and Right/Left bicameral dialogue-friendly.

Where are these potential ecofeminist

CoRRecting UnHealthy InAccuracies

EarthMother senses a difference
between Political Correctness
and everyday domestic political accuracy.

Political accuracy grows best
and sprouts up healthiest rooted
in directly observed EarthNatured experience

While CapitalInvested Political Correctness
is more shallow sandy shifty rooted
in some LeftBrain dominant
EgoPatriarchal WorldView Theory
of competitively debated,
sometimes uncivilly violent
armed and vigilantly ready defensiveness
about sacred anthro-supremacist
divine-right
to beacon at the top
of a monoculturing ruthless

Either you’re with me
or against me
view of EarthCommunion
as the politically accurate sinful struggle
of wounded anthro-supremacist
not sufficiently well-capitalized
not necessarily feeling all that Politically Correct
because I have some StraightWhiteMale fragility
issues of not meeting White WorkEthic God
the Punishing Father’s manly empowering
and enlightened supremacist expectations,

Jealous anticipations
provoking Either you’re straightwhitemale free
to be as me,
or you are competitively against Politically Correct
Me,
which doesn’t feel at all politically accurate
to actual spiritual
sensory
experiential EarthMother
WeHealth
Political Wealth
experience.

In “Together we can”
Claudia Zatorski,
local Connecticut talent,
starts her Poetry in a Pandemic piece,

“A monster invaded our world
The Spring of 2020
A time of calm complacency,
Of peacefulness and plenty.”

But, the 2020 Springing of a U.S. Presidential choice
felt like an unsettled spooky voice
of war and climate drowning and burning starvation
for unstraight
unwhite
unpatriarchal ecofeminists
rooted in politically empowering
cooperative co-invested
BLM and NVC and RestorativeJustice
and Integral Permaculture Design
and Organic Systems Thinking

EarthMother’s bigger pandemic Monster
in the Spring of 2020,
and so much more so now,
one year later,
was Her desecrated experience
of qujickly growing climate pathology,
runaway Politically Correct
capital-driven extractive technological choices,
with lack of political accuracy
about healthy, ecologically sacred,
indigenously felt voices

As EarthMother’s worldview measure of health
wealthy,
politically accurate health-power relationships,
cooperative root investments,
compassion flowers
and accurate turning of nurturing leaves
observe more co-invested robust
experiential non-infestment

Of rightwing prominent
theologically and historically unreflective
leftbrain hyper-dominant political incorrectness
is also politically inaccurate
for achieving resilient health-wealth democratic

Liberating Addiction

I need to talk about addictions,
about my addiction issues,
and maybe yours.

Addiction gets a deserved bad rap
but that doesn’t mean we have no more
than mean-spirited possibilities.

Our first addiction,
and, for the lucky ones,
the functional extended multigenerational
multicultural families
and liberating tribes,
also the last,
is love.

Love,
hidden or wide unwalled open
for another human,
another species,
another culture,
another part of Earth,
and other, costly
medicinal substitutes,

Drugs and alcohol,
guns and loud danger,
cars and sex,
coffee
and comfort
and convenience,
beauty
and enlightenment
and luxury,
notoriety
and money
and security,
all poor substitutes
for the nurturing feel
and natural touch,
nutritional smell and taste,
native sight and sounds
of love.

I have two issues
with addiction.
One is my obsessive-compulsive need
for my next, even better, fix
what’s broken.

I find it humbling
to be cravenly overpowered
by physical and mental,
natural and spiritual, want,

By my longing to climax
resiliently
resonantly
universally embraced by Earth’s most incarnate
and eternal
esteem,
communion,
co-passion.

But, physical addiction
can be softened,
eased,
healed more readily
and stadily
if not for my shame
and hide in the closet
self-judgment,

If not for my weak
and sinful shadow nature,
My need to hide
my darkest fruit truths
about not being in control
of my own autonomous will power.

And, so it is,
I hide my greatest weakness,
my greatest internalized enemy,
and thereby feed and water feelings
of guilt,
self-blame shame,

A failure to grow vulnerable love for others
I cannot see in naked love
and truth
and transparent beauty
because I fear to meet judging eyes
and minds,
voices
conserving dismissive choices.

Secret addictions
have all my darkest powers
of steadfast
and cyclical disempowerment.

Acknowledged addictions
I can call out courageously,
then curiously explore
with my housemates,
neighbors,
teachers and parents,
children and listeners,
supportive groups of similar addicts,
medicating absence of love’s
spiritual wealth
without natural walls.

Fears and angers spoken
and named
thereby weaken
as love swells
for positive addiction,

Which, as long as not risked
stays absent,
even from our healing selves
grasping mercy
for becoming merely mortal
and expecting my birthright
of a health wealthy society
good faith community
family
with multicultural addiction values
and unlovely disvalues

Summarized in GoldenRule behaviors
and positively addicted open
vulnerable
transparent
courageous
actively curious gratitude
attitudes of cooperative disclosure.

This power of my unhealthy addictions
lies more heavily in hiding my self
secret depressions
repressions
suppressions
dark impressions
that true and beautiful,
resonant and resilient love
is too far above
my emotional pay scale,
worthy of our co-redemption,

Too big a reach
to try to open up again,
to share my weak addictions
and strong compulsions
to feel and touch
taste and see
where love was lost
while pursuing lesser
hidden things.
