eclipse whispers

  

Retreat from
War mentality.
Learn to understand
our social ecosphere.
We can become our own
best friends, join not as
soldiers to hold a line,
expend our energy in fights.
Step back from destructive habit.
Open eyes cleansed of
acrid burning.
Move toward our true desires;
find what peace can build.
 
 
 
 
the dancer and the dance
I see this tiny epiphany awhirl,
like a firefly flight of fire and awareness.
Immanence aroused in a glory of
rhythm and desire.
See us reach invisibly into a wholeness,
a blessed story,
a holy trance, above, beyond, knowing,
yet our closest self.
 
 
 
 
this comment is not about the fragility
of "white allies" but about the true rational goal
-- is what we want to apply our considerable
energies and creativity and time and
human interactions to
making imperfect people feel shame,
or to make a better social structure
in which every person's opportunities
for self realization expands?
 
 
 
we should initiate a citizen's decency
board to bring these police miscreants
before for severe shaming until they
cry in remorse and horror
at their behavior
 
 
 
these "pro-lifers" must hate children
they are all about forcing children
to be born and raised in situations
that don't want them
maybe that was how they got that way
 
 
 
 
all that uproar and legislation to end
Obamacare and it turned out the
people want it -- these Republican
anti-democrat obsessions
are not about reality
 
 
 
 
How can older Jews
who suffered the atrocities of
The Holocaust not feel empathy,
compassion for the Palestinians,
and horror at the Israeli leaders
who torment them?
 
 
 
What, exactly, did you win?
What has the end of your
possibility of honor
bought?
 
 
 
I  developed my nascent
philosophies through science fiction --
that metaphoric narrative view
of our realities.
 
 
 
I get it!
They are mistaking religious mythology
for realpolitik.
 
 
 
Hiding in the park
after dark
under evergreens
seeking forest.
Old ages home
trailing memory
aching to feel, real.
Frail sensations
stored in stories.
Clasp, grasp of
smiling ectoplasmic
audience.
Shadow/light
whisper/thunder
breathe deep ash
of campfire ghosts.
Bubbling out from dense fog
to clear a magic window.
See such a fairy parade
sparkle into ecstasy,
into vast caravans
