Om Matri Compati
Grandfather is worried
about ants and cockroaches on the sill.
But gives no care to the air
and nothing for the river.
How many here are like this?
Playing the wars of the last generation?
/separations/
How many avatars and prophets do we need?
God is One and redone.
The geometry is in the threes and goes on exponentially.
It can not be suited to each’s need until we return to the Freedom of one.
Honing all needs, all energies.
Me? I struggle with recovery.
With Freedom from the things
/I used to hide/
my misogyny.
Living amends for poor southern women and gay men.
For blackskin and Mexican.
With crossing questions: What we keep and let go?
The compassionating and compassionate.
Who shall be fired, who furloughed?
What will we part with, to repart
I ask questions rudely and forget what the Cherokee said to Sugaree.
I forget that Ani'yunwi'ya would never call Themselves ‘Cherokee’.
Without discretion, we tend to take everything we can see.
Jubilee! risks the mystery cosmological.
It is so seductive to think globally and not locally.
To sail over a New World horizon after the dolphins have gone.
Rather than listen. To be still
/listen/.
Can we do it, Jubillee? Can we listen to this mystery?
Ethically? Linguistically? Racially?
Are we willing to hear, not act, to say yes to playing not the role of /allyship/,
but of stewardship of the energy, we have carried and bought to this community.
So that we can let it go the grounded charge, and play in the clear light of day.
The
/One/s
we are.
