Shamanic Substance

   
Some sages    
burn their fragrant,    
savory namesake    
to leaven air    
in wafts of    
heaven    
Steeping wraiths    
into stupors    
& binding their bodiless    
brawn    
   
So down,    
down  
those gurus    
droop to sleep...    
Strewing used leaves    
along premeditated treadings;    
sacraments in footpaths    
supposing they've shirked    
any phantasmic followings    
   
~    
   
Ovoos    
stately slant    
in ascendant stances    
with tips like lances    
prodding Mongol yonder blues    
a heron hue    
imbues sanctioned invocations;    
Thrice to rotate    
'round the stony foundation    
custom gyrations - coded oblations    
   
Milk & honey    
blessed & left for Tengri    
A dusted alter    
entrusted & encrusted    
with silken donations    
   
~    
   
Wicks shiver in heat    
lean necks sheathed    
in cylinders    
strung in wax;    
Candles of plum    
actively passing away    
   
Purple light paves    
lanes    
to tame astral planes    
Flame in the room    
juts westward    
snapping Haitian songs    
astray    
   
Tinging marimbulas    
sing    
dinging past the doorway    
ringed in revenans    
overhanging    
drapery in reveries    
with fangs    
   
Rising faint    
& up the rope    
to seance in Antilles    
airways    
Conveyance with    
cadaver saints    
   
~    
   
Were I born    
through alter-womb    
bred & fed    
on the strings    
of another breeze;    
Strange pneumas    
indeed,    
winds like these...    
   
could've cradled me
