Yellow Galactic Warrior/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 17

 

8 Cib

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 bleach and then

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

Hecate will save the Day!

Denizens of the Medicine Wheel

Each is needed for All to Heal.

 You hold me---

My eyes close as I awaken

To Feelings found again

Hidden like a Flame beneath the Sea.

Blue Electric Monkey/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 12

 

3 Chuen 

Blue Electric Monkey

Hymn to Polyhymnia*

 

Invade my Soul, Beloved 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/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 11

 

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 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.
