10/26/2025 Yellow Galactic Warrior/ Self-- Existing Owl Moon of Form/ Day 9

 

 

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!

One from Two is born.

Red Magnetic Moon/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 2

 

1 Muluc

 

Red Magnetic Moon

 

I have stayed 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 your Spine---

Made supple by stretching and shivering

Like the hibernating Arctic Fox

 

In the winter of your Death

You reach 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.

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.

Blue Crystal Hand/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 28

 

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/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 27

 

11 Cimi

 

White Spectral World-Bridger

 

Death surrounds me now---

I swim in the Underworld

Lower than Low---

 

Down in the Depths

Of  Darkness

I float apart

From all I knew--

 

Nothing

Is there

In Xibalba*---

Only the Ache

In my Heart.

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

Red Planetary Serpent/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 26

 

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.
