Muse Speaks

When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know loss
is to fear death
of much-loved reputation
compassion's robust integrity
and lively self-respect.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish waxing love
and self-forgiveness.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like "Suicide is preventable"

Which is no more
or less true
than Systemic Trauma is 
and is not preventable
within one anthropological
LeftBrain verbally dominant
monoculturally ecocidal lifetime,
or one mature and healthy democratic trust relationship,
one compassionate communication ReGenerative Story,
one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody 
resiliently brilliant
resonantly elegant 
polyamorous and possibly pantheistic
naked native Nature 
sacred/organic 
win/win narrative

Gaian Hypothesis prophesying,
When trauma lurks
with upper dissociative 
and irreligiously patriarchal 
right-hand victimizing vengeance fist,
To know mental depression
body-shaming repression
cognitive oppression
intuitive pleasure suppression
is to fear comprehensive 
fight or flight
and critically frenzied frozen events
of neurosystemic,
and now also ecosystemic, 
loss.

When therapy
lends EarthMother's feminist sway
to know resonant win/win integrity
reconnecting healthy life's
most resiliently wealthy impressions
is to predict patriotic trust 
and matriotic safety,
animus penetrating truth 
and anima receptive beauty,
expressive cognitive compassion 
and impressive intuitive pleasure

Win/win thriving respite 
from ego- and eco-distempered,
win/lose survivalist, 
dissociatively irreligious,
RightWing dominant trauma history

To fully rekindle compassion's
wealth embodied laughter
health mindful listening
Gaian Muse lustery

Organic passion's sacramental 
deep erotic governing
exotically orgasmic 
therapeutic pleasure mystery.
