Yellow Galactic Seed
Sweet Calla---
Like a Goddess
In the Garden
Image of the Heart---
Cream in part
And golden, too---
Androgyny’s Ideal---
Your velvet Depths
Pierced by Pollen---
Bearing Stamen
Symbol of Truth
Grace embodied---
Flower of the dreaming Fields
Marker
Of Ritual and Rite---
Regal---majestic
Lily-white.

7 Akbal
Blue Resonant Night
Into my Dream
Flew a yellow Bird---
A Rose upon each Wing
The Rose was pink
And I did think it odd
This Coloring---
The Bird came close
As if to speak
In Awe I shut my Eyes---
Then I did feel
Upon my cheek
A tiny Kiss---
A precious Prize.

White Rhythmic Wind
Poetess
I call myself---
Lines I rhyme
Fine
Phrases do I form---
My
Thoughts evolve
In
parcèd Time
As
Rhythms sweet are born---
If
I dare
Disclose to you
A rare or radiant Verse---
You see the Light
In darkest Night---
The lifting of a Curse.

5 Imix
Within me
Peace Moves
Like a Zeitgeist
Ready to be born
In this Age of Chaos ---
The World Heart opens
To the Height of Heaven---
To the Depths of Hell
On the vast horizon of Time/ Space
Another Golden Age appears
In Hieroglyphic Grace.

4 Ahau
Yellow Self-Existing
Sun
In a Plenitude of Solitude, I sing---
Throngs of Bougainvillea stretch
Scarlet into the desert Sky---
Birdsong and Sunlight abound
Clouds sail by
Stately, serene---
Hummingbirds hover in Tangerine Trees
Lemons hang ponderous
Bountiful and free---
Gifts from the Goddesses to me.

Cauac
Blue
Electric Storm
Tall Trees
Slake a Thirst
Of which I’m unaware
Until there
In the midst
Of the Mist---
A Blanket of Leaves
Marks my way---
Lush Greens vibrate
Infinite in Hue---
Remarkably blue
Is the Sky---
Quietude and Solitude
My Allies strong
In the rendering of
Soothing Song.

2 Etznab
White Lunar Mirror
To Heaven by Degree
This Moon ascends
Above the Skyline of
Earth’s Horizon---
By Nature’s vast Decree
Tonight’s Moon rises---
Her Course clear and sure
Charted---exact
From this I take Comfort
More than random---Life
More than fleeting---Joy
Sorrow---Nevermore.
