Love Poem: Earth Hugging

Earth Hugging

What could I do? 

What to do
when your biological,
and even formerly sober ecological,
relationships suddenly veer insanely romantic?

Or worse,
mistrustful
and yet
not always distrustful,
or not,
maybe deeper sadness
and occasional manic gladness
emerging inclusively wider questions
of approach and/or avoid

Both romantic
and yet soberly pedantic
sometimes before,
to plan, for after
feeling up
and/or sore
predicts anxiously down,
as genocide
predicts ecocide
yet quietly ejects matricide,
as biological attraction
follows ecological co-invested 
spiritual transaction

Secular lust
must be felt sacred just
to know need for win/win romance
from greed for a winner take all
anthroprivileged self-centering chance
to flex divine power
without sharing humane light,
capital wealth
without nutritional health,
disvalues of Yang infestment
without Yintegral co-investment 
values predation
without co-operative elation

My rabid rabbit hole
suddenly re-opening inter-religiously
grasping indigenously divine romantic
mystery
of sacred nomadic history
not told
or remembered

Even before graceful mother trees
with sturdy father sun-filled limbs
felt sexy
and bark,
like skin,
felt consensual,
ecologically curious
and biologically courageous

Mystically nondualistic
Yanged up healthy
and yet also,
more kinda ecofeminist
Yintegral safe sex wealthy
yet curiously pantheistic MotherEarth
[is, and is not my sacred EarthMother] 
outrageously romantic wombing

What to do when
win/win romantic co-investments
don't go green cooperative ecstatic
resiliently resonating peak experiences
quietly more than diplomantic?

Manic instead, may feel not just egotistic
but also HumanPredative 
pedantic privilege
more than ecologically resilient
and/or romantically brilliant,
depending, I suppose,
on which side of the secular courage
v sacred curiosity
I may feel,
and need,
and want to reposition 
this love transition day

Worshipping manly mountains
and crouching in warm breezed grassy valleys
multiculturally enlightening
and polyculturally empowering

New ego/eco-logical systemic questions
about what to do
when One dominating monotheistic
StraightWhiteMale
dogmatically scripted
incorporated
religion in AnthroPrivileged power

Yet 
disproportionately GrandMother inflowing
funded and nurtured
and fed
while marginalized,
still feeling disenfranchised
and ZeroTrauma Tolerance stuck

On what to do
when your biological
and even formerly ecological 
sacred relationships
suddenly veer insanely win/win romantic
or lose/lose traumatic
restoring/postponing peace
in-between monotheistic aggressive Poles
and panentheistic sacred Holes

I suppose it has something to do with
avoiding your personal slam-bam purposes
to feed and seed
our EarthRevival slow-grown
inspiraling cooperative 
deep sacred meaning
is also highest and best mindbody use,
not more ZeroZone abuse

Tipping WuWei toward
P = N(NP)
equitable chance
of ego/eco-systemic
win/win resilient romance
polynomials

Bio/eco-logical resonant
polypathic brilliance
polymathically elegant
as LeftBrain Either/Or
Light v Dark
is to RightBrain Both/And
+1/-(-0)= EcoPolitical BiLateral Balance

Full EarthTribal Equity
in-between positive enlightening poles
are not negative disempowering holes

Expressed in
polyvagal neuro-systemic communication
eco-systemic not not mental health
natural/spiritual cooperative wealth
thought/felt trauma prevention
internal/external resonant affection
resiliently romantic 
good health humored
co-inspiring bipartisan balance non-issues

Which keep obsessively
and compulsively,
defensively
and liberally 
avoiding
and approaching
fleeing courage
and fighting/freezing curiosity
looping back
to what should I do
when my biological health
fights my former ecological wealth
of co-empathic communication systems,
suddenly and insanely veering 
pan-sensory win/win
RightBrain felt blue sad lose/lose?

yet red glad ecstasy 
soft-circling edge
double-negative boundaries
do not inhale dramatic choice
to not exhale romantic voice

Courageous risk 
and curious non-risky opportunity
feel thriving way therapeutic more
than merely surviving
win/lose post-traumatic ballistic bore
and pre-traumatic lose/lose sore.

What can I do?
I think we both want win/win more.
