13 Chicchan
Red Cosmic Serpent
Rejecting conscious
Ecstasy
We descend into
Purgatory---
A Culture of Afflictions
And ritualized Addictions
Our divine and
potent Destiny
Lies dazed---degraded
Drunk---inflated---drugged and sated
With consumer Goods
and Services
Hierarchies mete and measure
Top to Bottom
Left to Hard Right –
Defending the Indefensible
Imagination dies in
Projection
Fundamentalism
breeds Ignorance
Perfectionism
precludes Creation
Capitalism kills
Compassion
But coiled among and
between
Straight Lines---Laws,
Rules, and Regulations
Curves a Serpent, like a Smile
Oblivious and full
of Wild Life
The ineffable Arc of
a nurturing Breast
Breaks through this
Madness in the west
Awaken!
Silent silver One –
Slide in and out from under
Patriarchy finally
Dead and torn
asunder.
