Poetry as Sanctum


Two fingers dipped
India Ink
Across the brow - In then and now

The ritual

Of

The present – Into the celestial

Into

The eternal

Line across the brow – Beyond the now

One foot

Over

The next foot

From the material
Into the

Ephemeral

Into

The material

Finding the rhythm
Of the axiom

On an axis
Of
Abraxas

In a dance commenced
Over the stone

Circle

Engraved with the poem
Of time

Encircled

One foot

Over

The next foot

Over the poem – Over the stone

Space – time

Time -

Space

Continuum – Cadence

Cadence -

Continuum

Into the quantum
Of

Poetry
As
Sanctum

Author's Note
I was doing a sort of... Rain Dance

wearing a robe a poncho and a chulo hat

Which transitioned into the spiritual

and into the intellectual

and into the supernatural

...  and I was dancing over a stone calendar

and it became a dance of poetry
