White
Resonant Wind
I hear the Call
From an eastern Gate---
From Roses on the Vine
Lightning flashes Foot to Head
Settling in the Belly---
A slow Burn of wild Desire
I feel a Call
Lifting me from the Desert---
Out of Drought into cool Mist
Gone the dry Brush
Gone the burning Sun
Cool Breezes fly through me
I know this Call---
I’ve heard it all before
The Locusts ate my Passion
From an Oasis
Fresh Water flows---
My Thirst is sated, my Hunger gone.

6 Imix
Red Rhythmic Dragon
I descend at the Height
of Day
Mind awake
Eyes
wide open---
I find dead my
Maidenhead---
A Land of Life
strewn with Bones
Dry white Skeletons lying
on Stones---
Life decayed/ Care
delayed
Turns the Landscape
deathly gray
Wind blows through Bones---
Sounding moans both
high and low
For Years and
Generations
No Family here---
Bones alone
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---
Red Rage grows---
Hear the Breeze
Blowing through
Bones---
Too little
Tenderness, too late
Can neither stop the
Wind
Nor alter Fate.

5 Ahau
Yellow Overtone Sun
Bare winter Branches---
Ancient Arms
Reach past Amethyst
Through Blue
Beyond Blue---
Until a Salmon
Pink Horizon
Sets the Sun.

4 Cauac
Blue Self-Existing
Storm
My Rage is a Black
Sun
Burning without
Surcease---
Never setting---never
resting-–-
Deep in every Cell
My Heart beats red
hot bloody wild---
A Cauldron of scalding
Tears
Burns my Eyes and
drops –-
Wide and without
Boundary
Is the Feeling
Fathomless Abyss---
I dive through you into
A dear sweet Death---
Cool damp Darkness
Tempers my Heat---
I fall like a
Fireball
Fueled by ancient
Anger
Fused with furious
Madness
Silently I scream –-
Grieving for Dreams
Lost---steeling
myself
Against the
relentless Power of Life
I hit---I die---It
is no use
I am reborn.

3 Etznab
White Electric
Mirror
I dance the Dance of Shiva
Pendant in mid-Air---
Creating to Destroy
I make the tall Grass quiver
I dance the Dance of Shiva
Mighty Soul on slender Limb---
I weave a Pattern known
Before the Gates of Eden opened
My Filaments obscure
In the shadowed Night---
Silver Thread invisible save
For Moon’s reflected Light---
Symmetrical and Perfect is my Form
Diamond lit with morning Dew---
I spin and waltz---I whirl and turn
Before my Dance is through.

2 Caban
Red Lunar Earth
Sing---blue Globe of Light
Sing each Day---each Night---
These phases less Reality
But merely Shadow-Play
Sing---shimmering Earth -Soul
Sing of a Time just in Time
When the Voice of the Turtle
Is heard in the Land
Sing---holographic Hieroglyph---
Play out the Play which spins
The Fear of Death
Into the Death of Fear
Sing---Elements of Quintessential
Peace
Music---Laughter---Joy---Grace
Sing until all Borders
Fade without a Trace
Sing---cerulean Jewel of Glory
Sailing down a Golden Dawn
Sing---sacred Ground---Sky and Sea
Sing----precious Pearl of Mystery.

Yellow Magnetic
Warrior
You slew the
Messenger---
You killed the Angel
For her Light---
My Love---
When most I needed
you
You murdered me
Outright.
