3 Ahau
Yellow Electric Sun
From Diamonds we derive---
Emerald Electricity
And Sapphires blue---
Souls wander through
Stygian Darkness
Into the Wombs of Women---
Spiraling Flight
Tumbles into Being
Pulsing with Time---
As Above, so Below---
Spine holds the Codes
From Root to Crown
Zodiacal Gates
Open to Symbol
Life after Life---
Children of Light
Spin into Glory---
Then through Story
We Return eternally.

2 Cauac
Blue Lunar Storm
I sacrificed the Sacrifice---
My Womb removed and never tried---
Am I Virgin now
Or just worth Less?
I hear a distant Symphony
A Hymn of String and Drum---
I abide on the metaphysical Side
Full of wild Life---
A swirling whirling
Stormy Sea of Dance and Poetry---
This is my Rebirth
And my Becoming----
My Atonement and Salvation---
Raison
d’étre and Redemption.

1 Etznab
White Magnetic
Mirror
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Second largest in the World
She ebbs and flows with Tides eternal
Reaching out with Waves unfurled
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Atlantic she is called in our own
Tongue
Yet she does sing in Tongues
unnumbered
Songs for every Land and Old and
Young
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Laughing with the dancing Stars of
Night
She captures all celestial Beams and
Planets
Within her endless Lattices of Light
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Kissing all the Shells upon the Shore---
She stretches salty Arms around her
Islands
Saying that she could not love them
more
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Between two Continents does she sit---
Protecting all that lives beneath her
Surface
Bearing to her Ports each noble Ship
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
She is the Stuff of Life and Lore---
She beckons all with Swells unceasing
As Poseidon did for fair Athena roar.

13 Caban
Red Self-Existing Earth
Turns shyly
From the Sun’s fierce Eye
At Dusk---
She spins through
Every Day and Night
Navigating
A rhythmic Equality
Of Seasons---
Patiently she organizes
Synchronic Evolution
Empowered by
The Universal Fire
Of Endurance
Under the birthing Power
Of the first Magnetic Moon.

12 Cib
Yellow Crystal
Warrior
One need not travel far to Dreamland---
Let the Thread unwind
To the Bottom of the Deep---
Close your Eyes … untie the Knot
And fall asleep
The Weaver will awaken
When you are unaware---
Intertwining Dreams through
Layered Realms of Slumber
Keep close these Shades remembered
Disjointed---vague---dismembered---
Starry Robes of Hypnos
Strewn with Sign and Symbol
Take the magic Carpet’s Flight
To the Markers and the Making---
The sleeping and the waking---
Tapestry and Language of the Night.

11 Cauac
Blue Spectral Eagle
When I hear your
Voice
I hear the Bells
I always have
I always will
One Bell signals
Happiness
A Heart fulfilled
and blessed---
The second rings
with Joy---
The Song of a
barefoot Boy
Then Exhilaration do
I hear
And feel when you’re
with me
Finally, a Chime of
Ecstasy---
The Bliss of a Soul
set free.

10 Ix
White Planetary Wizard
Song of Aaron
I will arise now
And fly unto Aaron---
Fly to my Love
In the desert Night Air
Purple Grapes will I bring
To feed him and Figs---
Under a pale Moon
In the desert Night Sky
For him will I dance
Be-jeweled and Kohl-eyed---
Entrance him will I
In the perfumed Night Air
I will anoint him
With Oils exotic
Soothing his Heart
In the sweet Desert Air---
Unto Aaron I fly---
Under sparkling Stars
Roses crowning my Hair
Through the desert Night Air
I will read to him Verses
From the Poet’s wild Heart
Enchant him will I
'Neath a dark Desert Sky
Music drifts down---
Melodies sacred
Liquid and rare
Float on the desert Night Air
Aaron, my Priest---
Prince of the Desert
Aaron, my Almond Branch---
Strong, wise, and fair
Aaron, my Priest---
Prince of the desert
Aaron, my Almond Branch---
Strong, wise, and fair.
