every nerve on fire with the wash of mother
earth
time
the capsule of us
suspended
we are healed inside ourselves
we are healed inside each other
no fuel left for anger and pride
we dilated
the ancient rhythm washes us over
clean now
a terror of coming wisdom so acute, sometimes, it seemed as if we were dying of it
dying and being reborn all the time
these lovely rebirths of the spirit
shells extracted from shells extracted from shells
stripping self down to primal being
i am not a human
i am animal
house cat sometimes
crow sometimes
raven-black
to swing on the midnight pathway and lead me back to sense and reason
friend
we were wrapped together by fate
stink of acrid sage in the night
acid wisdom floating up
we don't eat before the trip
we stay real in the flesh
spirit floating up to leave
(but we left before a long time ago)
the medicine man
starved thin
dehydrated
dancing with the spirits of his protectors
(there is protection)
chewed peyote
we
paper
we are opened
we breathe into the consciousness of the whole world
and inhale answers we could never have found in dreams
limited by the things they call culture
wisdom
sense
mother...
you be my guide
my people need the good red road
i saw it in the eastern sky
just yesterday
climbing through the early morning sun
red as blood
my body flushed and i vacated my wrongs
o mother
thank you for setting me free
