\\Some day there will be a reckoning
For the destruction we have wrought
When the darkness collapses into the dawn
And the earth reclaims her soul.
Between the hand of land
And the hand of sea
She lives inside me
The earth
Her soul is warm
And dark
At some point
I saw this land crumble
And what was left
Was lush and
Untouched
just land and sea
No artifice of humanity
There.

Sisyphus

I am a creature
And entity
I was
Born
I grow
I die
I come back
In the embers
Of fire
And the
Touch of
Wind
I love
And am hated
I hate
And am loved
I live and drink
And eat
And someday
I will
Be burnt ash
And sand
In someone’s
Eye
Today
I raise from my bed
Determined
To change my fate
Determined
To make a difference
In this
Mountain of efforts
I feel as thought \
I am buried in stones
I feel like I must carry
Each boulder
My own body weight
Up the stairs
Again and again
Till the vultures
Pick my liver clean
Forever working
Forever toil
There is no freedom
In this except
The freedom of knowing
In my heart that I see
The
Truth

The Time Lady

The woman with spiders in her hair
Lives in a land of fire
And sky
Ice melts between parted lips
And her father and mother
The Earth and the Sun
Wheel around each other
Making her and remaking her
With every rotation
This woman has
Snakes around her tits
And a dove in her
Heart
And her muscles and bone
And veins are made of
Metal and rock
She is the Goddess
Of my garden
The hummingbird
That is my warning
The monarch butterfly
Of my sex
She is older
Than my grandma
And younger than
Me
She is love
In a simple
Cup
Of
Tea
There are many who would say
That she does not exist
Yet I feel her with every
Morning Shower

I see her in every facet of every
Crystal globe
And every soothsayer
Speaks her tongue

Oh! My Goddess
The warm Night needs a
red dawn
To warm her lovely
Soul
\
Goddess whos light is a firefly
And a swirling sea anomie
Shooting stars of
Sea horses
Fall from my mind
Into hers
And we learn
To love
From a distance
My Earth
To her Sun
Eternal love
And life within \
Time
