7 Men

 

Blue Resonant Eagle

 

Red White Black Yellow

Such are the Colors

Of a Medicine Wheel –

Such are the Shades of Humankind

 

Red White Black Yellow

East North West South

Such are the Cardinal Directions

Such are the Faces of the Wind

 

This Cosmology heals

With strong Medicine –

When each has Dignity

 All are heard

 

Red White Black Yellow

Brothers and Sisters we –

Denizens of the Medicine Wheel

Each is necessary for all to Heal.

White Rhythmic Wizard/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 12

6  Ix

 White Rhythmic Wizard

 

Thou art the blessing of a too-kind god

When for a partner did my spirit cry –

You see my virtue where no other would

While to my faults you close a loving eye.

As I the lyric write you play the song –

Melodies thus fashioned live forever –

‘Tis true that to each other we belong –

A duet in tune – discordant never.

A separation makes our music still –

Still meaning silent, yet continuing –

No power is as strong as true love’s will –

Bold instrument of heaven’s designing.

 

Faith has yielded what desire could not do –

For I alone could ne’er imagine you.

Yellow Self-Existing Human

 

You touch me –

My Eyes close as I awaken

To Feelings found again

 

Love – Joy – Terror

Flood my Heart –

Change is on the Wing

 

From Innocent to Woman -

Psyche’s archetypal Journey

Hidden like a Flame beneath the Sea.

Blue Electric Monkey

 

 

Invade my Soul – Dear One

 

Transform my Heart and Mind –

 

Let neither Fear nor bastard Thought

 

Deceive or me unconscious find

 

Disperse thy Self throughout my self –

 Quantum Grace

 

Magnetic Field

 

Celestial Deity .

White Lunar Dog/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 8

2 Oc

White Lunar Dog

 

My Spirit falls – shattered

By Barricades more solid

Than any mortared Brick could fuse

 

Unwittingly I descend

Into the seventh Hell

Of lusty Phrases worn with Use

 

Divorced and desperate I came here

 To seek myself – observe and grow

Beyond the Realm of Mediocrity

 

Cradled by sweet Reason my Soul

Reclaimed itself into a Structure girded

Well against satanic Mockery

 

You caressed my Body’s Curves and Spaces –

The trembling of my Womb

Held you closely dark and deep

 

In loving you my Spirit grew half-strong –

Giddy with Delight to reach

The Height of long-forgotten Dreams

 

But Night and you together

Blasphemed my sacred Peace –

The Wish to love became the Wish to please

 

Betrayed by the shallow Light behind your Eyes

I lay shrouded in Deception -

I stumbled then but will again arise.

Red Magnetic Moon/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 7

1 Muluc

 

Red Magnetic Moon

 

Sweet, sacred Moon –

The Sky turns pale

Trading black for blue

The Stars and I

Adore you

 

Eastern Mountains hide you –

Trumpets herald not this Dawn

But Animals hail you

Children shout

As you climb –

Brighter than Belief

Like another Sun until

You are far above us –

Ascending – sending down

Bright Beams of white –

The Rim of every Hill shines

As Convex Aureoles alight

 

I thrill that still

You deem us worthy

 Of your clear

Quicksilver Blessing.

Yellow Cosmic Star/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 6

 

13 Lamat

 

Yellow Cosmic Star

 

Klotho*- spin your golden Thread

Upon the silver Star

At the Center of my Forehead –

 

Open wide my virgin Vein

With your New Moon

Sickle / Scythe

 

Call forth the Poetry to rise

Like Pegasus** from Medusa***

Wingèd – beautiful and wise.

 

 

 

*Klotho: The first of three Fates or Moirae in Greek myth; she spins the thread of life.

 **Pegasus: A white, winged steed who sprang from the be-headed body of Medusa; patron of the Muses, goddesses of art and poetry.

*** Medusa: A queen of ancient Lydia whom the goddess Athena transformed into a serpent-haired Gorgon.

10/22/2020 Blue Crystal Hand/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 5

12 Manik

Blue Crystal Hand

 

The winter lives

In Death’s apparent frozen Sleep –

Dreamless Days march one against another

Like Soldiers gone to Battle

Each fiercer than its Brother

 

Layered Depths of Frost

Upon a lifeless Tree

Assume the Chill of Loneliness

In Nature’s vast Decree

Of Dormancy and cruel Duress

 

The Cycle of a Season’s Rest –

The Time when all Things lay

Beneath sweet sugared Snow

Which knows no Corner

Where it cannot go.

White Spectral World-Bridger/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 4

11 Cimi

 

White Spectral World-Bridger

 

Death, surround me now –

I swim in the Underworld

Lower than Low –

 

Down to the Depths

Of Darkness I go –

Down to Xibalba* I go

 

Nothing

Is there

But the Ache

In my Heart.

 

*Xibalba is described in the Maya sacred text, Popol Vuh, as a court below the surface of the Earth associated with death and with twelve gods or powerful rulers known as the Lords of Xibalba.

Red Planetary Serpent/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 3

10 Chicchan

Red Planetary Serpent

 

I swallow down the full Moon whole

 She melts upon my Tongue –

She settles in my Belly while

I drink the Wine of Kingdom come

 

She takes a silver Ride inside

Where Flesh had been until

The container of a future Life

Fell beneath a Surgeon’s Knife

 

Scalpel cut Sinew and Nerve

Creating open Space –

My Womb is in the Tomb

But even More is in its Place

 

My Progeny are Prose and Poetry

Conceived in the Soul by Night –

Infants unnumbered are borne

On a bright shining Beam of blue Light.

Yellow Solar Seed/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 2

9 Kan

 

Yellow Solar Seed

 

Clouds float by

In grand Procession –

Pillowing - Billowing

Mountainous Wisps of white –

Stately Fortresses of Mist

Kissing the Sky

 

Shape-shifters all –

Turning Light to Shade

Eclipsing Sun – Moon - Stars

Silently they pass en masse

Lifting all to Heaven.

10/18/2020 Blue Galactic Night/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 1

8 Akbal

 

 

Blue Galactic Night

 

In the Midnight Fire

Of winter’s second Moon

I rise again

To ask for Blessing

 

In the Midnight Fire –

A full Moon blazing

All Fear dissolves

In Prayers for Love and Peace

 

In the Midnight Fire

Of the Midnight Hour

My heart’s Wing

Reaches to embrace my Beloved

 

The full Moon burns 

In a midnight Sky

Far Stars shine twice bright

Each tear becoming

A Pearl of great Price.

White Resonant Wind/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 28

 

7 Ik

White Resonant Wind

I hear a Call

From the western Gate –

From Roses on the Vine

 

Lightning flashes from Head to Toe

Settling in the Belly –

A slow Burn of wild Desire

 

I feel a Call

Lifting me out of the Desert

Out of the Dark - into the Wind

 

Gone the dry Weeds

Gone the burning Sun

Through me a cool Breeze rises

 

I know this Sound

I’ve heard the Call before

Before the Locusts ate my Life

 

Now clear Water flows

I’ve reached an Oasis

My Thirst is sated

My Hunger ceases.

Red Rhythmic Dragon/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 27

6 Imix

 Red Rhythmic Dragon

I descend at the Height of Day

Mind awake –

 Spirit’s Eye wide open

I find dead my Maidenhead

The Land of Love strewn with Bones

Dry white Skeletons sitting on Stones –

Life decayed and Care delayed

Turn Landscapes deathly gray –

 

 Wind blows through Bones –

Sounding moans both high and low

Torn Remnants of Delusion

For Years and Generations

No Family here –

 Only Bones

 

Shame eats the Flesh of Love

A gaping Maw of guilty Acts

Consumes the Meat that might sustain us –

Furies - Harpies dive

To take the Smile from smiling Lips –

A Hand too frightened to caress

Hits hard and hits again

Hearts break open –

Rage roars red

 

Hear the Breeze

Blowing on Bones –

Too little Tenderness too late

Can neither stop the Wind

Nor alter Fate.

Yellow Overtone Sun/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 26

5 Ahau

Yellow Overtone Sun

Winter Branches 

 Charcoal Arms 

Reach past Amethyst 

Through Blue 

Beyond Blue – 

Until a salmon 

Pink Horizon 

Sets the Sun.
