Red Cosmic Serpent - Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 9






13 Chicchan


Red Cosmic Serpent

Rejecting conscious Ecstasy
We descend into Purgatory –
A Culture of Affliction
With ritualized Addiction 
     
Our divine and potent Destiny
Lies dazed – degraded
Drunk – inflated – drugged and sated
With consumer Goods and Services 

 Hierarchies mete and measure
Top to Bottom
 Left to Hard Right
Defending the indefensible

Imagination dies in Projection
Fundamentalism breeds Ignorance
Perfectionism precludes Creation
Capitalism kills Compassion

But coiled among and between
Straight Lines – Laws, Rules and Regulations –
 Curves a Serpent like a Smile
Oblivious and full of Wild Life

The ineffable Rise of a Breast
Breaks through this Madness in the West .

Awaken
Silent silver One!
Slide in and out from under
 Patriarchy finally
Dead and torn asunder.

CHICCHAN



Kin 65: Red Cosmic Serpent

I endure in order to survive
Transcending instinct
I seal the store of life force
With the cosmic tone of presence
I am guided by the power of universal water.


Everything that comes into being mutates at precise moments in a synchronized timing process which is governed by the Law of Time.*
