4 Cauac
Blue Self-Existing Storm
When Bombs fall
Babies cannot bear
The Shock---
When Bombs fall
Homes are blown away
Where Children sleep
and play---
Small fragile Bodies
Bleed instantly---
Delicate Skin tears easily
When Bombs fall
Babies’ Eardrums shatter---
They cannot tolerate
The deafening Storm---
Trauma/ Pain/ Blood/
Shock/ Death
Who will save the Babies
When Bombs fall?

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.

2 Caban
Red Lunar Earth
Sing---blue Globe of Light
Sing each Day---sing 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.

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.

13 Men
Blue Cosmic Eagle
Beneath
an
Earthen
Crust
In
Gaia's Nest
A
Serpent turns---
Languorously
undulating
Among
Blossoms infinite---
The
Flowers of all Nations---
She
knows her Self
Sacred
yet vilified---
Wise
Mediator
Between
Heart of Earth---
And
Heart of Sky
Her
Form---
Eternally
re-born
Among
deep Roots
Of
the great World Tree---
When
Opposites meet
Marry
and merge
Power
becomes Lightning---
Where
Scales once lay
Now
Eagle’s Wings
Ascend instead.

12 Ix
White Crystal Wizard
Ancient Stones
Initialed
With Lichen
And Moss
Mark the Passage---
Nature sculpts
A Testament
Bequeathing Color---
Changing Hue
On Ivy
And ancient Wood---
Toadstools sit
Haphazardly and
violet
In the Musk
As I wander in the
Graveyard
Through an autumn Dusk.

11 Ben
Red Spectral Skywalker
We
escaped!
From
City to Desert Wilderness
We
escaped!
From
blaring Cacophony
To Silence
and Birdsong---
Sweet
Liberation---
With
Eyes clear as Glass
I
see blue Mountains---
Now
I am calm while
Tall Trees rustle
In the turquoise Dusk---
Now
I am quiet
Like
the Night.
