wisdom
born of Earth
black-widow dark-cave
deep-water fire-belly
father eater son feeder
mother eater daughter teacher
born of Sun
white-wolf sky-tree
milk-blood sun-tear
flesh burner seed flinger
bone bleacher green singer
proclaims,
to eat the word, wind, and water
to feed mind-body, the flesh with fire
to feel rock and rain with hands
to suck deep on roots with hands and feet - to eat
to give the caress of the feather
to the coarse, to the new born the cunning of
jaguar and the shield of terrapin
listen
the dawn star, Venus
listen
the plumed serpent, Quetzalcoatl
listen
the Divine Mystery, Wakan Tanka
flies the wind through your branches
to rustle these words
like leaves, hair, feathers
to swirl these words
like nautilus, hurricane,
whorls in the wood
to fling these words like
arrows, hail, lightning
to clear your mind like burning fog
to open your eyes- ears- skin- mouth
like seeds, caverns, eggs
to the white-foam
bubble-rumbling
salty-waves crash
to the damp vaporous
musky sigh
of the ground breathing
before a storm
may these marks
like eagle talons
crack your skull
and bleed rivers of vision
into the ripe black holes
of your grassy-lashed
gem-spangled eyes
