White Magnetic Wind/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 8

 

 

1 Ik

White Magnetic Wind

The Solar Wind

Turns Mars to red---

Sunburned---desiccated

Too hot---red hot---

The death of Mars

Was meant to be 

The death of War---

Mars being that martial god---

But Warfare, with its infinite 

Tragedies lives on

Here on Earth---

Deaf to the 

Cautionary Tale told

By a dead, red Planet---

We inherit martial Karma

We owe the Debts 

Of Maldek and Mars---

Great is the Karma

Great is the Debt

To the Dead---

To the beloved Ones---

To the Earth

Whose Tears are infinite

Whose Tears are the Salt Water Seas.

Red Cosmic Dragon/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 7

 

 

13 Imix

Red Cosmic Dragon

Make of me 

A symphony of Images---

The transcendent Word--- 

Make of me

A Messenger 

Gathering Beauty from the World---

Bestowing Wisdom upon all

Whom I encounter---

Make of my Life

A living Prayer---

A healing Balm and Blessing

Fill my Time with Treasure---

Make Joy my Garment

And Forgiveness my Goal---

May Skywalkers explore

The vastness of my Heart---

The Mansions of my Soul.

Yellow Crystal Sun/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 6

 

 

12 Ahau

Yellow Crystal Sun

In sultry Waves

Of visible Heat

The Crystal Sun

Undoes each One---

Without a Breath

Long Days

Slowly fall and fade

Into violet Dusk

Even the evening Breeze

Hangs back and waits

Like an invisible Star

The burning Fabric of Reality is torn---

Let us love and only love

Until true Peace is born.

Blue Spectral Storm/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 5

 

11 Cauac

Blue Spectral Storm

Thundering Rumbles---

Smackdown Drops---

Black Dimes on Concrete

Rain pours

Into Crevices---

Slides down Walls

Roaring Bass Drum---

Lightning---fast Flashes

White Serpent streaks---

 Shots in the Dark!

 

Finally---

Sky War Truce

Then

Suddenly---

Sun!

White Planetary Mirror/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 4

 

10 Etznab

White Planetary Mirror

Murdered was my Soul---

Surgically

Methodically

Intentionally---  

In infancy

Ignored---

Or given deadly

Double Meanings 

By five

I grew wise---

Well beyond my Years---but 

Thoroughly repressed 

Utterly depressed---but 

It got much worse---

Needle Tracks

Insults---Incest---Neglect

Not–so–veiled References

To my horrendous Imperfections---

There was no pleasing 

No appeasing 

No Approval 

In their Eyes

I failed 

In all Ways---

Red Solar Earth/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 3

 

 

9 Caban

Red Solar Earth

In the Dead of Winter, I was born---

The Sighs and Cries rang out for Days

And far into the frigid, crystal Nights---

I missed the New Year’s Day 

Descending late---delaying

My Departure from a warm Womb

Into the cold, white World

In the Dead of Winter, I was born 

With black wet curly Hair

So overgrown and heavy

That “Monkey” or “Medusa” came to Mind--- 

Little did I wish to go another Round on Earth

Or feel another mortal Wound---

My Eardrums failed to close 

My Eyes so large and dark

I always saw nearsightedly

In the Dead of Winter, I was born---

Life leapt up---dealing Death

A feisty Blow---

Brittle Bough and

Ice-filled Lake no Match for

Red hot Blood---the Will to be---

A fresh young Heart 

Making a small Spring 

In the Dead of Winter.

2/8/2025 Yellow Galactic Warrior/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 2

 

 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 bleached and then

Reach for More---

I straighten the Rugs

And change the Sheets---

Fluffing and folding 

Keeping the Mice at Bay 

Wait!! Did I say Mice?

Hooray!

My Coach is on the way.

Blue Resonant Eagle/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 1

 

In a twinkling the game will change

And you will know anew what you have forgotten,

And what you have not known will be known to you as if you had

Always known it

But this only for those who choose to wake up…

For the others, messengers of other worlds will arrive

To help them on their way …

And from that moment the new codes of being and reality must be set forth,

The codes of the noosphere

No more nations shall there be

No more money, no more truth in tatters, no more poverty, no more drugs,

No more escape from reality, all that we henceforth disavow

No more guns, no more bombs but a new world of Universal telepathy

Everyone will understand as One and at once will everybody know

There is only one time for the Earth, a simultaneity of day and night,

A continuous synchronicity, one side sleeps while the other wakes,

but all in one and the same moment it occurs, one whole Earth synchronicity.

 

… Instead of toxic waste and burning seas

Your mind will be set on sacred art

To transform all that has been spoiled into a work of living art

The whole Earth made into a masterpiece

Ringed by a rainbow from pole to pole

A single thought form made visible …

6 Ix

White Rhythmic Wizard

(New York City Suite)

 A cacophony of Horns---

Movement---Motion 

Rapid restless

Commerce---

Monument to Materialism 

Temptation---Seduction 

Greatness of Possibility 

Possibility of Greatness---

 Choices---Changes 

Losses---Gains 

Solid---Intense---Grey

Concrete testimonies to Genius 

Architecture---Fashion---Art

Finance---Efficiency---Economy 

But above All---

Ambition.

You touch my Thigh---

My eyes close as I awaken

To Feelings found again

Flood my Heart 

Change is on the Wing---

Hidden like a Flame beneath the Sea.

3 Chuen

Blue Electric Monkey

Hymn to Polyhymnia*

Invade my Soul, dear 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.

2/2/2025 White Lunar Dog/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 24

 

 

2 Oc

White Lunar Dog

My Spirit falls---shattered by

 Barricades more solid than

Any mortared Brick might 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.

Red Magnetic Moon/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 23

 

1 Muluc

Red Magnetic Moon

I have lain with you

And qualify, therefore, like Orpheus

To visit you in the Land of Death---

Your battered Defenses protect you still---

Hiding Grief and Pain unbearable 

As you transform within a Cradle of Grace

I cover you as would an Angel---

With Love and sacred Wisdom

Your Wings are mere buds on the Spine---

Made supple by stretching and shivering

Like the hibernating Arctic Fox

In the winter of your Death

You looked for me, your Eskimo---

I dragged your screaming psyche

Into another Place---a warmer Space where

You might breathe again

I bear the ecstasy of Mysteries

Borne on the back of Agony---

The Price of Initiation.

Yellow Cosmic Star/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 22

 

 

13 Lamat

Yellow Cosmic Star

Klotho*- spin your golden Thread

Upon the silver Star

At the Center of my Forehead---

Open wide my virgin Vein

With New Moon’s 

Sickle---Scythe 

Call forth my Poetry to arise

Like Pegasus** from Medusa*** 

Wingèd, beautiful, and wise.

*Klotho: The first of three Fates or Moirae in Greek myth; she spins the thread of life.

**Pegasus: A white, winged steed who sprang from the body of Medusa; patron of the Muses, goddesses of art and poetry.

*** Medusa: A queen of ancient Lydia whom the goddess Athena transformed into a serpent-haired Gorgon.

Blue Crystal Hand/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 21

 

 

12 Manik

Blue Crystal Hand

The winter lives 

In Death’s apparent frozen Sleep---

Dreamless Days march one against another 

Like Soldiers gone to Battle 

Each fiercer than its Brother

Layered Depths of Frost

Upon a lifeless Tree

Assume the Chill of loneliness

In Nature’s vast Decree

Of Dormancy and cruel Duress

The Cycle of a Season’s Rest---

The Time when all Things lay

Beneath sweet sugared Snow

Which knows no Corner

Where it cannot go.

White Spectral World-Bridger/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 20

 

 

11 Cimi

White Spectral World-Bridger

Death surrounds me now--- 

I swim in the Underworld

Lower than Low---

Down in the Depths

Of the Darkness

I float---

Nothing

Is there

In Xibalba*---

Only the Ache

In part of

My Heart.

*Xibalba, as described in the Maya sacred text, Popol Vuh, is a court below the surface of the Earth associated with death and with twelve gods or powerful rulers known as the Lords of Xibalba.

Red Planetary Serpent/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 19

 

 

10 Chicchan

Red Planetary Serpent

As she melts upon my Tongue

I swallow down the full Moon whole

She settles in my Belly while 

I drink the Wine of Kingdom come

She takes a silver Ride inside

Where Flesh had been until

The Promise of a Woman’s Life

Fell beneath a Surgeon’s Knife

Scalpel cut the Sinew and the Nerve 

Creating added Space---

My Womb is in the Tomb 

But even more is in its Place

My progenies are Prose and Poetry 

Conceived in the Soul by Night---

Infants unnumbered are borne

On glistening Beams of blue Light.

Yellow Solar Seed/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day18

 

 

9 Kan

Yellow Solar Seed

Clouds float by

In grand Procession---

Billowing, pillowing

 Wisps of white---

Stately Fortresses of Mist

Kissing a blue Sky

Shape-shifters all---

Turning Light to Shadow 

Eclipsing  Sun, Moon, and Stars---

Silently they pass en masse

Carrying Prayers on High.

Blue Galactic Night/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 17

 

 

8 Akbal

Blue Galactic Night

In the midnight Fire

Of Winter’s second Moon

I ascend again---again, I rise

To ask for Blessing

In the midnight Fire

A full Moon blazes----

 Fear disappears

In a Prayer for Compassion

In the midnight Fire

Of the midnight Hour

My heart’s Wing

Reaches for my Beloved

A full Moon burns

Hot in the frozen Sky

 Stars shine without light---

Tears become Pearls

Of great Price.

White Resonant Wind/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 16

 

 

7 Ik

White Resonant Wind

I hear a Call

From the 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 before---

Before Locusts ate my Passion

From an Oasis

Fresh Water flows---

My Thirst is sated, my Hunger gone.

Red Rhythmic Dragon/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 15

 

 

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.

Yellow Overtone Sun/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 14

 

 

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.

Blue Self-Existing Storm/ Blue Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 13

 

 

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.

White Electric Mirror/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 12

 

 

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 Web is through.

Red Lunar Earth/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 11

 

 

2 Caban

Red Lunar Earth

Sing---blue Globe of Light 

Sing each Day---each Night---

These phases less Reality

Than 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.
