Red Solar Earth/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 8

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 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

Always saw short-sightedly

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.

Yellow Galactic Warrior/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 7

8 Cib

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

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 the Mice at Bay

Did I say Mice?

Hooray!

My Coach is on the way.

Such are the Faces of the Wind

With strong Medicine –

When each has Dignity

 All are heard

Red White Blue Yellow

Denizens of the Medicine Wheel

Each is necessary for all to Heal.

Concrete Testimonies to Culture

Architecture – Fashion - Art

Finance – Efficiency – Economy

And above all else –

Ambition.

4 Eb

Yellow Self-Existing Human

You touch me –

My Eyes close as I awaken

To Feelings found again

Love – Joy – Terror

Flood my Heart

Change is on the Wing

From Innocent to Woman -

Psyche’s archetypal Journey

Hidden like a Flame beneath the Sea.

Blue Electric Monkey

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 –

 Quantum Grace

Magnetic Field

Celestial Deity .
