Conflicting CoOperative Interests

Two Taurus husbands
intending to nurture shared truths 
of Win/Win 
organic mind/bodies
engaging Earth's interdependent communion

To discover our conflicting 
and often unshared 
half-baked thoughts
intentions
anticipations 
in articulate and marvelously punctuated language,
rhythm, 
lexicon of meta-confluent function 
and integrally warm
co-gravitating flow
like butta' 

To uncover, 
recover,
rediscover 
our therapeutic seeds 
and traumatic weeds,
cooperative hopes 
and conflicting transracial despairs, 
repeatedly, 
co-passionately,
authentically, 
resonantly
and, at last, co-arising

Yummy regenerative treats,
communication strings of ecstatic recreation,
spectral sights 
and savory sounds 
and bouncy muscular rebounds
of potential co-redemption

Healing,
anticipating rom-com therapeutic curiosity,
resiliently co-engaging discovery
re-connecting beloved EarthTribe communities
re-developing health-wealthy outcomes

Slowly replacing
traumatic stress disorders, 
binging on hate crime dramas,
and RightWing atrocities
against sacred EarthMothers
and green innocence

While wintering and withering
deep seated desperation
in life's last retiring 
isolated
lonely recliner.
