Bell of Eternity
A chime was rung
and you drew out this
box....
it was crushed red velvet,
and it was heart-shaped and
it gave the world space...
Would the earth goddess deny and negate
or would she trace
Her bluish finger on your nameplate
In her dark ecstatic fashion?
Pull out tiny black drawers
holding treasures...
giving clues to the
aventuras del corazón
dark reds, deep greens
oranges and purples
Earth goddess guide her
Where to go from here
Labyrinth Lady lift her...
Where does she now fit?
The clouds cushioned
the abrase
of matter...
against the scarred
far side of the face
brown and spring...
between the steppes that span the toothless horizon’s grin
swept with circular whisps
like a peace pipe emits...
In the westward wind
you planted kidney
beans...
little lungs of vitamins
for the children to breath
as flowers and seeds of spirited good will...
words that take root in their very being with just a tear,
amidst the dust of someday’s
cleaning...
Armadura de amor
she hummed the tune that the
pins on the revolving cylinder
should pick and sing...
plucking the teeth of the steel comb that grazed the skin
she knew the melody
by heart
even as it lay still...
the pen ran with sanguine ink and there was no deficit
...across the continent.
The Old Ones remembered it well where their youth had
denounced their ancient ways, but still the magic laid
inherently frozen for any wise acre who dared
take the mantle, and beg the light to shine back down...
...There will always be a break in time for those who make
a revelation which will heal the world...
Sometimes it seems internal,
but the healing will unfurl,
and though it seems quite painful
like the thorn that pierced the paw,
one must extract this menace,
and allow old ice to thaw.
