summer

june, you, monthlong solstice

your 30 days of day

of Light’s false dominion /

he suggests a good way to estimate
the number of roses on my climbing rose bush
is to count the number of buds and blossoms on one linear foot of branch

so, I do.

there are 60 or more

i probably missed some



then 6,000? or more?! on this eight year old gem

how many june bouquets, boutonnières and corsages they would a florist supply

instead,
i keep them all for future rose hips,

and refuse to prune
unless a branch cracks under

the weight of drenched petals in this year’s wild june rainstorms



so many vases i have filled this june.

i suggest that i may create a perimeter of this variety of rose
an impenetrable devastating fortress of thornage — a natural, beautiful “devil’s rope”

i once saw a group of mule deer clear an 8′ fence in colorado — without a running start, could a herd of robot dogs do that?

he sees i’ve saved old nails, screws and Mexican coke and beer bottle caps in an empty 3lb coffee tin

that’s all i know



a companion truths poem to, and
influenced in part by, this most beautiful
dreamt song and these sweetly sung truths,
by Rodney Crowell.


my mother turned 75 years-old yesterday
and that’s all i know,
about her
anymore

the Anti-Übermensch

if there was a Mother God,

if God was a Mother,

not “were”

this wouldn’t be
our reality

a dying planet
a deadened polity

mass extinction by chainsaw, net,
bolt-gun or bomb
they said, “96% of children in Gaza feel that death is imminent”
in Sudan, the famine is massive,
oh, this reaper, he is very discriminate
in Congo, there’s mass enslavement for minerals,
see the phone in her hand?! her hypocrisy?! she can’t claim to be innocent!
the Pacific’s so hot,
that it’s killed 4 million murres
while the Indigenous still invoke
“cultural rights” to baby seal furs

therefore,

God is either male — or, truer,
the God who created everything,
was the very first one extincted,
as Nietzsche,
and the german thinkers before him,
all, belatedly said,

Lavender, skynet, Where’s Daddy?


Sustained investment in and revenue growth of
Artificial Intelligence engines
and Surveillance Tech
(and ultimately, Singularity)
require the panoptic expansion and consumption of We, The Targeted™️ — of both our data and our physical bodies

targeted in Gaza

targeted for CECOT

targeted for Alligator Auschwitz



First,

Unit 8200 came for the Palestinians.

with beta Gospel.

AI algorithmic kill lists, the modern canon.

the devils don’t need the details:
a rough timeline, character sketch
just like their old testaments, will do just fine

their new codices
say “them” are the animals,
illegals,
terrorists,
insurgents
divergent
or merely,
existent
predicated on their math of Dominion and omission

demons conceived, incubated and developed in
Tel Aviv, NSA, USA
traitors to the human face
pledged allegiance to The Apartheid State
they migrate
to Silicon Valley
and live in our clouds,
seed and feed your tech portfolio
buy your complicity too easy and relatively, cheaply

they know you traffic and travel comfortably with your
BlackRock War Dividend Platinum Rewards™️ Card,
that your urbane lifestyle co-signs ecocide,
that ahead of, and after, election time, you’ll reliably Demsplain the “nuances” of mass surveillance — and a genocide,

as mothers, children, olive trees, & the seas die in realest time, before our [true human] eyes //

all the cultured-up parasites, the comfortably-numbed bystanders in the Zone of Interest, still merrily floating in their dream lives,

while students and artists and workers and poets resist their silencing and their systems,

Oh, Tonantzin, Our Mother, Our Lady of Guadalupe!

Today, on the feast day of La Virgen de Guadalupe, from the valley and river of the wolves,

who is and always was Tonantzin, the Nahuas’ Universal Mother of Earth, they being one and the same parthenogenetic Creatrix-entity of Life —and of Death, here on Earth:

art by @lala_wera

In the name of Tonantzin, I rebuke the State of Israel and the United States

— both nations stand defiantly in their ongoing slaughter of 18,000 human beings so far — nearly all of those killed — are Palestinian civilians and more than half of them are children — hundreds of thousands more are injured, maimed — in tremendous pain, suffering from unfathomable loss, from hunger, thirst, and disease — and dispossessed of and displaced from their mothers, families, beds, kitchens, homes, pets, art, schools, toys, lifework — and land,

and the Western and Eastern global capitalist powers — in their protracted genocide, mass exploitation, enslavement and dispossession of the People of Congo,

I call to and incant unto Tonantzin for the downfall of these two seated governments, and of the despots and oligarchs, who are a scourge on this good Earth and all Life upon it.

Tonantzin Tlalli Coatlicue

May these demons be stricken by Her snakes and devoured by Her wolves and may their bones be cast into the eternal inferno with not one cinder or ash remaining. Forgotten Forever.
