3 Kan

 

 

Yellow Electric Seed

 

In its Majesty

Seed’s Mystery

Overwhelms---

 

She requires only Time and Moisture

To Flower into

Infinite Possibility---

 

Seed Codes are microscopic

Calibrations in a Shell---

Concealing fractal Patterns

 

Sacred Seeds

Gifted through Generations

Guarantee Survival---

 

Latent Capabilities

Miracles of Growth---

Love and Fertility.

Blue Lunar Night/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 2


 


2 Akbal

 

 

Blue Lunar Night

 

Blue Night falls

In sacred Silence---

Trading Sunlight

For the dark Light of Dusk

 

The lunar Lamp calls

All to ponder

Life’s Meaning and Message---

The Soul’s Journey

 

The World displays

Ultimate Materialization---

Ready to Transform Devolution

Into Evolution

 

Human Hearts expand---

So turns the Tide

Opening in Compassion

To every sentient Hand.

White Magnetic Wind/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 1



1 Ik

 

White Magnetic Wind

 

The Solar Wind

Turns Mars to red---

Sunburned---desiccated

Too hot---red hot---

 

The death of Mars

Was meant to be

The death of War---

Mars being that martial god---

But Warfare, with its infinite

Tragedies lives on

Here on Earth---

 

Deaf to the

Cautionary Tale told

By a dead, red Planet---

We inherit martian Karma

 

We owe the Debts

Of Maldek and Mars---

Great is the Karma

Great is the Debt

To the Dead---

To the beloved Ones---

To the Earth

Whose Tears are infinite

Whose Tears are the Salt Water Seas.

Red Cosmic Dragon/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 28


 

13 Imix

 

Red Cosmic Dragon

 

Make of me

A melody of Images---

A poetry of

The transcendent Word---

 

Make of me

A Messenger

Gathering Beauty from the World---

Bestowing Wisdom upon all

Whom I encounter---

 

Make of my Life

A living Prayer---

A healing Balm and Blessing

 

Fill my Time with Treasure---

Make Joy my Garment

And Forgiveness my Goal---

 

May Skywalkers explore

The vastness of my Heart---

The Mansions of my Soul.

Yellow Crystal Sun/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 27


12 Ahau


Yellow Crystal Sun


In sultry Waves

Of visible Heat

The Crystal Sun

Undoes each One---

 

Without a Breath

Long Days

Slowly fall and fade

Into violet Dusk

 

Even the evening Breeze

Hangs back and waits

Like an invisible Star

In a hazy Sky

 

The burning Fabric of Reality is torn---

Let us love and only love

Until true Peace is born.

Blue Spectral Storm/ Sprectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 26

 



11 Cauac


Blue Spectral Storm

 

Thundering Rumbles---

Smackdown Drops---

Black Dimes on Concrete

 

Rain pours

Into Crevices---

Slides down Walls

 

Roaring Bass Drum

Lightning---fast Flashes

White Serpent streaks---

 Shots in the Dark!

 

Finally---

 

Sky War Truce

 

Suddenly---

 

Sun!

White Planetary Mirror/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 25

 


10 Etznab

 

White Planetary Mirror

 

Murdered was my Soul---

Surgically

Methodically

Intentionally  

In infancy

Ignored---

Or given deadly

Double Meanings

 

By five

I grew wise---

Well beyond my Years---but

Thoroughly repressed

Utterly depressed---but

It got much worse---

Needle Tracks

Insults---Incest---Neglect

Not–so–veiled References

To my horrendous Imperfections---

 

There was no pleasing

No appeasing

No Approval---

In their Eyes

I failed

In all Ways---

I became Fear

Personified.

Red Solar Earth/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 24



9 Caban


Red Solar Earth

 

In the Dead of Winter, I was born –

The Sighs and Cries rang out for Days

And far into the frigid, crystal Nights –

I missed the New Year’s Day

Descending late – delaying

My Departure from a warm Womb

Into the cold, white World

 

In the Dead of Winter, I was born

With black wet curly Hair

So overgrown and heavy

That “Monkey” or “Medusa” came to Mind

Little did I wish to go another Round on Earth

Or feel another mortal Wound –

My Eardrums failed to close

My Eyes so large and dark

I always saw nearsightedly

 

In the Dead of Winter, I was born –

Life leapt up - dealing Death

A feisty Blow –

Brittle Bough and

Ice-filled Lake no Match for

Red hot Blood – the Will to be --

A fresh young Heart

Making a small Spring

In the Dead of Winter.

Yellow Galactic Warrior/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 23


 


Yellow Galactic Warrior

“Cinderella”

 

I mop and sweep

I dust and weep

I scour, scrub, and fill the Pail

I polish the Knives and Spoons and Forks---

I’m thin and pale

From Overwork!

I wipe and wash

I dry and try

To keep my rough Hands soft

I clean and iron

I hustle and bustle

To chase the Dirt away---

I am tired and mired

In Cobwebs and Motes

Floating in vacuumed Air---

I clean the Silver

Hang out the Wash

I bleached and 

Reach for More---

I straighten the Rugs

And change the Sheets---

Fluffing and folding

Keeping Mice at Bay---

Wait!! Did I say Mice?

Hooray!

My Coach is on the way.

Strong Medicine it is---

Denizens of the Medicine Wheel

Each is vital for all to Heal.

Blue Electric Monkey/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation 18

 



3 Chuen

 

Blue Electric Monkey

Hymn to Polyhymnia*

 

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 

Each Cell a fractal Entity---

 

Of Quantum Grace--- 

Magnetic Field 

Celestial Deity. 

 

*Polyhymnia: One of the nine Muses, goddesses of poetic inspiration, Polyhymnia serves as the Muse of sacred song.

White Lunar Dog/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 17

 


2 Oc


White Lunar Dog

 

My Spirit falls---shattered by

 Barricades more solid than

Any mortared Brick might fuse---

Unwittingly I descend

Into the seventh Hell

Of lusty Phrases worn with Use

 

Divorced and desperate, I came here

 To seek my Self---observe and grow

Beyond the vapid Realm of Mediocrity---

Cradled by sweet Reason, my Soul

Reclaims 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 a shallow Light behind your Eyes

I lay shrouded in Deception---

I stumbled then but again will rise.
