POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is my voice for change. I have 12 kids with my husband of 22 years. The poetry I write comes from books, movies, and most of all, from my life. Finally squeezed out of me by my nature like a long held breath.
The Billion Faces of Jesus
Touch not a one
some are women
some are Asian women
nailed, kneeling, blessing
coming in the clouds of glory
These are works of art
others died to sculpt or paint
in quiet liberty
Shall we now deface
their memories?

Oppression of Creative Characters
Classing characters

Conscious culture
individually manifest
seeks stability
And in that mix
stumble we

tragedy
The story
paupers

forgotten
used and abused
This society uses
opposes and
enslaves all kinds
Soon creative minds
Will have a new

Atypical Collectivism - the gifting economy
Not theft or slavery
Not obligation
Not guiltiness
Gifting economies ride on two
compelling heart strings
need and worth
It’s faith
in reciprocity
in sheer mass of kindly
similarities
It’s hope for possibility
knowing how
80 percent can be
It’s love
knowing that
delaying gratification
giving forward
on gratitude
is symbiotic with prosperity
upright honest capitalism
a far cry apart
from short sighted
greedy
dishonest
...

Armies in My Mind
They hide when called
popping out only
for long shadows
- words against
my well-being
arrayed against me
...knock off‘s of
old battles
troops that never
came home
To eliminate them
I’ll have to be patient
and surveil them
until I can mark
their location
for termination
Do not send any more
troops to patrol
for potential battles
- my mind is already
a wasteland

Radical Flakism Coup at Schools
Not a political party play
Nobody feels okay
this is f’n cray-cray
New odious library
of new national
identity theft
for children
to browse
New-new history
Pedagogy of pedigooglers
facade of pedigrees
Watch board meetings
curriculum and policy
shaming you
for critical thinking
Rational thought and
questions equal
problematic
(meaning heresy)
Oh, and
check your patriotism
...it equals
white supremacy

Virtue-Signaling Delusional Slaves Decrying What?
Sex slaves are everywhere
Knights and immunity
ambassadors, intelligentsia
national security
for many nation-states
comprising compromise
commodities of blackmail
They have their
agreements to disagree
for theatre of control
when most useful
Depending on
everyone’s support
riding their power
So the snowed-in
body politic
gaslit/gaslighting
Getting off on
tribal submission ...

Hate Training and Culture
Toxic political grooming
Pavlovian moments
It’s the art of
rewarding aggression
within the platform
of codependent
denialist submission
Truth is gagged
raped inside the skulls
of progressive
collectivists
who knowingly
shove aside
problematic
facts and questions
because they deny
the flickering gaslit
truth
...over their heads

Masks Correct Immoral Pro-Choice Ideas
If we can wear masks
to save the innocent
“My body my choice”
is immature theatre fire
...and wicked perversion
Abortion is obsolete

U R Here (map of the universe)
Torture is truth
at the edge of
our political
universe
Just knowing how
far we came
after the Big Bang
shot Lincoln
Dead
Paradigm
is formless slime
Your map printed
inside a
woven mask
To hold a
growing bug
made of
unrealistic
imaginal magic
Puffing on dreams
to bust out
a butterfly
...I’m part of a
generation
You will never
see again
like you...

Deconditioning- a Waking Nightmare
Trademark science
diagnose your country
fuck ethics
skip testing
Grandma gets
three food boxes a day
(...though a prisoner
of the worst stripe

Depressed children
suicidal teenagers
raped of their
reassuring smiles
Men muzzled
emotionally castrated
in front of their friends and
family
...like
submissive women
Politicians suffocate
beneath their own masks
(Satisfies anyone?)
Immune systems

When the Right Shifts Left
Civic ethnic nationalism
- under its peace
racism loses gravity
families blending
The wellness force
heartful enabling
idea of pro-humanity
faith in balancing
nature in heaven
and on earth
Not partisan
medical liberty
sans dictatorship
Certificates
not license
to healing
full priority
for young Left
Centrists pushing
medical liberty
drain dry the
medical swamp
never mind
psychotic
croc of tears
