White Galactic Dog/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 11

 


8 Oc

 

White Galactic Dog 

 

How do I tell thee of my Love?

Are Verses sung in Tune enough

To move you beyond moving?

 

Shall I paint a Portrait of Affection

Reflecting deep Enchantment?

 

My Affection turns Affliction---

It Weighs heavy on my Heart

 

 Fear battles Hope

That in the Telling I will see

 

Acceptance---willingness

To love me in Return---

 

Fear locks the Gates of Love

 Faith alone holds fast the Key.

Red Resonant Moon/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 10

 


7 Muluc

Red Resonant Moon

 

There once was a Man

Who would use and abuse the Moon

For Profit--- just because she’s there

Why?

 

Obviously

The Rhythmic Dance of the Tides

The Movement of the Waters

Would cease---

Apparently these Cycles

Are Inconvenient for this Man

 

Our Culture demands

Immediate Gratification---

The Instant Fix

A Negation of Life---Death---Rebirth

Linear Time rules in no Time---

A Time out of Time with Nature

Earth's out of Time---out of Touch

Out of Tune with the Moon---

The sacred Feminine

 

There once was a Man

Who would blow up the Moon---

One wonders what was

In his Mother’s Milk!

Yellow Rhythmic Star/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 9

 



6 Lamat 

 

Yellow Rhythmic Star 

 

I frequent Beauty

As my Duty and my Due---

 

As Honey

To the Bee---

 

Beauty be

The All to me.

Blue Overtone Hand/ Electric Deer Moon of Service/ Day 8

 



5 Manik

 

Blue Overtone Hand 

 

How---why---and when indeed

Does Love transform to Need?

 

The giving Hand goes on the Take

The Heart grows dark and cold---

 

Once open Arms and Eyes

Close to Possibility and Passion---

 

Suspicion suspends Belief

Trust steps out for a Smoke

 

Neither  Love nor Faith survives

The imminent Loss of Hope.

White Self-Existing World-Bridger/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 7

 



4 Cimi

 

White Self---Existing World---Bridger

 

Like Ice on winter Roses

Or frosted Dew on Grass---

My Heart Melts

 

Only the Stone

Remains in Place

Outside the Tomb

 

But like a Cloud

The Boulder floats away---

She is risen!

 

The Angel in your voice---

Its Tone and Timbre

Start my Heart---

 

A Resurrection of Affection---

Wordless Communion

Reunion---Celebration

 

A past Affair---

After bitter Death---Life

Brought to present Time

 

In Forgiveness---

Remembrance

And Gratitude sublime.

9/25/2025 Red Electric Serpent/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 6

 



3 Chicchan

 

Red Electric Serpent

 

In Solitude

I journey down

To meet Ereshkigal---

My Sister dark---

My Shadow

 

Seven times she

Strips my Flesh---

My Veils

 

Bone alone remains---

If I survive

My self will die---

 

And while I mourn

My Soul will be reborn.

Yellow Lunar Seed/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 5

 



2 Kan

 

Yellow Lunar Seed

 

There is a Time of Year lies yawning---

Stretching the Space between Seasons

Days---Weeks of Promise when, depending on the Solstice

We stand between cold Dread and warm Anticipation---

 

There is a Time of Year that takes the plant Roots deep---

Makes its Moves from inner Signals

Cosmic Calls of ice-filled Lakes---

Frost---Cold---Wind---Snow and Rain

  Skies of November resemble a Day in March

When Clouds give no Comfort or Promise of Warmth

 

Finally, winter loses Strength---

A Seed begins its brave invisible

 Ascent to early Suns too pale for warming---

Only Faith supports our Skin and Bones

Now chilled and blue with Longing

For spring, the winter’s Damage to atone

 

That Time of Year lay shivering

While we---like short-sighted Children

Burning with Desire cannot wait

For howling, whistling Winds

To blow away the old and bring upon the New

The autumnal Days of early spring are fierce---

They tease and taunt without Remorse

  

That Time of Year too short to name until---

Azure fills a Sky of cotton Clouds---

Jonquil Petals open with the Violet

Green Grass quivers with the Flights of little Bees

Whose Legs are yellow Pollen laden

Daffodil sits up with Hyacinth upon the Hill

The Moth awakes to fly on parchment Wing

The Seasons turn---Gaia smiles---naming Spring.

Blue Magnetic Night/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 4

 



1 Akbal

 

Blue Magnetic Night

 

Sweet Sleep

Enfold me

Travel down

And hold me

To Thy Breast---

 

Long Night

Approach me

Overcome

And take me

Down to

Rest

 

Tall Dreams

Entrance Me 

Free the Heart

To dance in me lest---

Dark Fears

Besiege me---

Swallow down

And seize

The very best

Of me.

White Cosmic Wind/ Elecctric Deer Moon of Service, Day 3

 



13 Ik  


White Cosmic Wind

 

A Phantom have I

Lived with near a Year---

An inner Voice---

A disembodied Face

 

A separate Self---

Beloved yet apart---

A ghostly Lover

Occupies my Heart

 

His surface Charm

Hides Depths unknown---

Deadly and immortal both---

Wild Resentment grows---

 

Upon him, I projected

Every Wound and Crime

From Infancy Committed

Until present Time---

 

I fashioned there a Hero

An insubstantial Soul---

But when I let him go I saw

The Hero’s but my Self, made whole.

Red Crystal Dragon/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 2



12 Imix


Red Crystal Dragon 


Stories within me

Lie sleeping---

For safe-keeping

I suppose...

 

With the swelling of the Moon

Dreams layered into

 Time and Space awaken

The Wild One within---

 

Recurring Patterns rise  

Interwoven Archetypes---

Paisleys of Divinity

 Design a Woman’s Soul

 

As she quickens with

Destiny's Life Force---

So do We.

9/20/2025 Yellow Spectral Sun/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 1

 


11 Ahau

 

Yellow Spectral Sun

 

The bluest blue Jay cries

To Ruby-throated Hummingbirds

Whose tiny sunlit scarlet neon Throats

 

Dance

 In grand extravagance---

Otherworldly, truly---

 

Huge Crows dip low 

Searching for Breakfast---screeching black

Messages from an unseen Underworld

 

Guided by the gliding

Flying, dipping, darting

Drumming, thrumming, Hummingbirds---

 

Symbols of an over-arching Wing---

Hints of a Time sublime

When I too will sing
