“It is hard to be proud of a world without butterflies”
For I am
The great Boreal Forest
In winter
Who longs for the birds
That have left for the season
And You are
The sum and song
Of a billion bird migration
Yet to return.
Dappled earth
Morning sky
Of History
Shudder to think
A Mystery
Stop the transition
A #Dapple
Of intellect
My position clear
What doesn’t hear
Silent insects
Not relevant, prevalent
Near on man’s
Dapple of horn
Not Revenant
But scorn
For the Milky Way
Intellect stillborn

Where the National Guardsmen
And Women
Where the Marines
Who served
Now their country
Is under attack
Where the second amendment patriots🤷♂️
Where the FBI
Where the Politicians
Where the Judges & Lawyers
Where are the Minute Men
And Women?
Do they know what time it is?

What you owe the ancestors
Do for your country
What you owe slavery
Do for your neighbors.
Balance history
Or be run to ground
By cozplay murderous
Serial killers
Been here.
Special #Delivery
Real in the line
Do not be cross
Point of no return
Danger ⛔️
Go Back America 🇺🇸

where do the poems
go when the poet
has been killed?
I picture the snow
in Minnesota
falling on a lake
and want to write
her name—
Renee—
on its cold
white page

Before two legs
You developed society.
An ancient awareness
400 million years civilized.
On came the ones
Without gratitude
To fiscally intrude.
Forests still, speak to me
Feed me, touch me, heal me.
Now i whisper back
In #gratitude
With gifts to
Build your strength

Sails hurriedly set
Thrown into action
Storm to be met
Move in grace
Age hardened hands
Ropes that won’t break
Sea Witch commands
Stars reflecting
Back on my ocean
Horizon ‘n galaxy
Lazily motion
Crossed Cosmos’
Universe above
Tis #memory I sail on
Ever seeking my love

So now on the horizon as we speed past the tipping points, coming into focus in the timeline of the foreseeable future, is our “Vanishing Point”.

Cleopatra #chic
Style still can’t compete
When she
Rocks the casbah
He dressed
His best
18th century
Cavalry officer
Whiskers and jodhpurs
Boots & hat. Rake
On the make
Cleopatra preferred
Marcus Aurelius
But she
Went home
With him
All the same
It was all
Just a game

Hold the pace
Keep the peace
Win your race
Mind the steps
You shouldn’t take
Yours to trip
Or graceful make
Drink your health
With water keep
The body strong
Earths liquid sweet
Don’t harm the earth
Or it’s good health
It is your wealth
And water’s well.

Of reflection infinity ♾️
L♾️PS and ties
The past and future
In the present
See the Milky Way
At Andromeda’s Confluence
Seek me there.
Your weight on top of me
Like being under an eternal sky
Floating in the Infinite Sea.

And demons in heaven
#Reflection on crosses
And breads of unleavened
The jews loved in Egypt
The christians in Rome
The Middle East mothered 3 faiths
That still call it home
Dance with the Devil
Or waltz with the lord
Put your faith to the pen
And your neighbour the sword.

Compound in crisis
The collapse still comes
Yet none prepare
This blind spot
#Timed perfectly
With the calendars plot
To see mankind dealt with
By the Galaxies 14 billionth
Anniversary
God says intellect
Is his invention
Yet she struggles
To control our Nature
Or Nothing

Hectare
Of biodiversity
My sweater
The wood
A dog on a bone
I chewed
The Forest good
Til it was gone
Never valued
The complexity
That hectare
Called home
But a thread
That I pulled on
Stitched straight through
The #relevant future
Of this beautiful
Blue green oasis
We call home

Other than bluster.
A practiced political
Slight of hand.
30 COPS, no plan.
No Justice
No action
No plan.
Now collapse
Is only 7 COPS away
So there is that
So that’s #achievable?
What was the Paris Agreement
Anyway?

The loss of spiders 🕷️
Trillions per year
That beyond years
Weren’t #measurable
Who counts what
Lost planets
Can’t Regenerate?
Intellect
Born of complexity
Over epochs
Now Life’s lost
In generations
Not human,
To be sure.

Satellite of a distant land
Tells a prophesy
As earth
Turns to sand.
Streaks across
A Canvas vast
Truth celestial
Spell cast
Will action
Everlast.
Star bright
Supernovas,
Riviera of light
Confluences in
Circumstances of silence
Fade from sight.

The Milky Way is swallowing
A Dwarf galaxy
Sagittarius
While Andromeda’s
Pulling us into
An orgy
At 110 Km’s per second
Her strong intentions
An attraction
Is there another #option?
Yes!
The Magellanic Cloud
Is a nifty
Universal dance
Partner,
Possibility 50/50
#vss365
Everyones #goal
Is the same
Rivers in time
Rivers in space
Millions of fish
Swimming in
The same race
Bio-humanity
Is this fishes name
No different from others
All in the same game.
Just a fish amongst Stars
Not by divine right
Just swimming along
In rivers of light.

A species
Gifted the voice of natures intent
She offered her wisdom
She wished you
Her issue
To join in her dance
Identity fears sharing
By removing the thread
She weaved to create you
You must understand
You are her #issue
Her tissue
That your skin
Is her skin
Too
