today
I sip Stars
through a straw
I bargain with the Sun
for more Love
more Love
in my heart
more Love
in my body
what do I have to offer
but the Horus made flesh?
the winter air
ruffles the green feathers
of the redwood and the pine
I saunter
along the ridge
I descend
into Darkness
dark Moon
dark bliss
dark stain of madness
and longing
for now I know
the flash in the pan
crystalline flame
that consumes Everything
that will not be relegated
to the usual form
to the standard configuration
that makes sense
tonight
I sip Stars
through a straw
I bargain with the Moon
for more Love
more Love
in my heart
more Love
in my body
and She scoffs,
do not lower yourself to bargain
step mightily into the Godhead
the Godhead that You are
the Love that You already are
the Love that pours through your Being
as Blessing
the talons of the hawk
know no difference
between the flesh on my back
and the closed shuttering
of the Heart
my preparation is complete
I still cannot bear to be shattered
into rainbows
into tiny fragments
that look like the teeth of the Wolf
and yet I still allow it
I have made the journey
into No-Thing
and not returned
I know Adoration
for myself
and for the Beloved
so breathtaking it has
re-named my Life
and re-woven my Dreams
I know the Love
of the Queen of the Star Galaxy
for the humble woodsman
so tender
that it cannot be spoken
the crowing of the cock
spells Destiny
the golden lamplight
reveals the Union
I am ready
