Passion Wants To (Unbury the Bones)

Mercury in retrograde, a great time for revisiting and re-evaluating. In this case, editing. I am working on a very special collaboration with my mom and I'm going through a lot of old pieces. Thought I would repost a few favorites....

wants to

Skeleton Woman emerges

13 Grandmothers


Bones are buried in the earth,

but the house is on fire

and children run screaming into the void.

The flimsy handle of a plastic spoon

can't dig you out of this enigma,

threshold dripping like an overripe fruit.

Chaos surfing the waves of a thousand ancient tomorrows,

eyes propped open with toothpick stability,

no requiem for this mad, insidious night.

The whisper of my heart comes roaring

out of ripped open throat chakra,

amplified by moldavite mysteries.

Passivity feeds Desire,

Desire fuels Passion,

Passion wants to dance wildly,

ecstatically chanting its own name

in a field of bemused sunflowers.

Passion wants to strip naked,

licking the flame of its own existence

humming a slowed down version of its favorite song.

Passion wants to lock eyes

at the star crushing point of orgasm

and purrrrrrrr in blissful abandon.

The corners of the universe bow down

marking the pages

of places

people

lost teeth

wrong turns

first kisses

bellyaches

that weave the intricate fabric of our being -

simple reminders of our all consuming smallness.

Swirling inside our triple spheres

playful interactions,

engaging distractions,

divine invitations to tea.

The cells of this body cannot sustain the old and weary.

Skeleton Woman scrambles to find shelter

inside of changing skin.

Held fast by the raging ebb and flow of infinite curiosity,

of the epic journey of a single breath,

as it flows in and out of consciousness.

Soul scream breaks free from weathered lips,

doubt disintegrates in the emptiness of the moon,

sung down by a circle of weird sisters.

This fear lodged within every inch of our captive bodies

heating our blood to the point of boiling,

fights its way to compassionate ears.

The wisdom of 222 grandmothers

muffled and lost behind double paned windows

and triple locked doors.

rhuummm arrtttaaaateee naaanohaaaai


Open the fucking door!!!
