Red Rhythmic Serpent/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 14

 

6 Chicchan 

Red Rhythmic Serpent

 

 Transformation flows

Through Universal Waters

 

Into Air from Fire

The Phoenix flies

 

 Life Force quickens the Circuit---

Organizing Instinct

 

Endure!

 

Your Survival is 

Assured.

Yellow Overtone Seed/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 13

 

5 Kan

 

Yellow Overtone Seed

 

Sing this song for Women

Who are left bereft---

When Children, Brothers, Husbands, Parents die---

Women of the War-torn World---

Killed and maimed---

Burned---stoned---raped---beheaded and shot through---

Let us weep for those

Who live half-lives---Hearts torn too---

Riven into jagged wounds---

Wet with sacred Water---

Wet with tears of Grief

 

Weep also for those

Patriarchal Harpies

Whose Passion becomes Madness---

When Logic gives way

And Violence holds sway

These Women are Women no more---

 

Lost in the Wasteland of a Land undone--- 

This country, like an aberrant

Adolescent, thrown between Extremes---

Losing all Balance 

These women Shriek---

Unnerved by Insanity

They shout from twisted Mouths---

Hurling Insults and Epithets---

These Women are deranged

Unstrung---women who kill

Their young with prejudicial Poison---

Cry for these Hearts

Shattered---battered beyond Repair

Hearts living outside the Body---

Like Kahlo's Paintings

Unconnected---broken---closed to Compassion

 Women no more

These “Vagina Dentatae”---

The blind Graeae with one Eye only.

Blue Self-Existing Night/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 12

 

4 Akbal 

 

Blue Self-Existing Night 

 

Double Vision

Found in Dreams

Gives Way

To central Scenes---

Telling Psyche’s Story

In symbolic Allegory

 

These elemental Forms

And Themes---

Character---Conflict---Plot---and Play

Perform throughout

The long dark Night

To reconcile the Day.

White Electric Wind/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 11

 

3 ik

 White Electric Wind

Fleeting Illusion---

Perpetual Motion---

Constant Change---

Electric Charge---

 

White Cloud---

Spirit Breath

Dissolving in

Blessings of Rain

 

White Cloud

Or Gray or Silver-lined

Seem Wind

Made visible and fair---

The sacred alchemical Wedding

Of Water and Air.

Red Lunar Dragon/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 10

 

                    2 Imix

Red Lunar  Dragon

 

I am a Poet

In a soul-less Age---

 

Relentless Rage

Intolerable Images

Rise to dim the Eyes

 Of would-be Heroes---

 

I am a Poet

In a loveless Age---

Out of Time and Place---

Where manufactured Media flows

 From Factories of Mediocrity

 

We Assemble

Like Beasts at the Trough

Sensing imminent Slaughter---

Who can hear

A Poet’s Voice amid the Din?

 

Who will listen---

Who comprehend

The Depth of our Descent

So soon and close upon us?

 

The green, fecund Earth---

Unspeakably dear

Howls in Desperation---

Wounded beyond Recognition

 

We are falling

Off the Horizon again---

Sailing over the Edge

On Ships of Ignorance and Fear.

1Ahau

Yellow Magnetic Sun

 

 

Under the Magnetic Sun

In all ways, we are One---

Magnified in Purpose

Unified by Love

 

Under the yellow Sun

Threads of Light

Weave Time and Space

Into 13 Moons of Grace

 

Another Sun Rises

Over the Red Road---

 New Humans initiate

The original Time Code.

Divine Evolution

 Into Beings of Soul.
