Love Poem: Together Till We Part

Together Till We Part

Cells work is play
to resiliently thrive
only in organic systems.

Individual yolked cells
each with her own ego-governor
survive healthy together
and divide tragically apart

More like symbiotic regenerations
of surfing cantilevers
than degenerations
outside predations
storming waves
of colonizing cancers.

Transgendering 
transubstantiating
transitions can be both

Too hard on ego yolks
and too soft for ecobodies
become some One boundaried else
while too soon severing 
into not yet Zero

Sacrificed for tomorrow's
unconditional regard
in-between
One secular EgoZone
and not yet Zero sacred
systemic EarthTribe soul

Remembering past memories
mindful of mind-cell fullness
side by side solidarity
re-imaging severed 
individual unrealistic cells

Crests of history's
great transitioning wave
from individual hot burning stars
to seas of cold 
dead
dry dust

Awaiting warmer wetter rust
for light and power
to co-arise 
more resilient religious lust

Inside crusts
of ego loving centers
and their living eco-kin
becoming back and forth,
together and apart
again

Enlightenment
and death,
empowering internal concerns
losing out to expatriating cancers

Co-invested
ego risks of past 
colonizing power
and eco loss of future 
creolizing opportunities

Individuating 
systems for regeneration
and recycling seasons 
of winter's new annual privation

Spring therapy
and autumnal trauma,
health
and pathology

Unconditional regard
and conditioned 
hardening cells
of frozen disregard

For innocent Othered cells 
whose work is also play
to resiliently thrive

Only in organic systems
unconditionally regarding
this enlightened
empowering day

Swings of Yang bright light
mesmerizing Yin's eternal 
sabbath sway.
