Maps and Territories

Positive mental map messages
contain no more or less effective information
than appositional negatives notnot.
Both language map
and spacetime's notnot body referents
ecosystems of organic binomial life
loving and leaving days and time and lives
changing our collective DNA map
as mind experiences and dreams and imagines
our better richer sacred liturgy
fending off worse notnot quite balanced resonant rituals
unfolding Earth's regeneration story.

Organic messengers passed down through all of Noah's Ark
flowing in and through our ocean rivers
of fertile blood and brains,
with ionic balancing neural root systems
connecting
integrating
reweaving everything as also notnot anything,
every organic being,
every place on and in this referent Earth
ours to love as re-dis-cover.
