as we metamorphose

two points of a straight line
birth and death needing a kiss
         after plunging depths 
dissolved scars, rock burns
drawings in mud or deserts 
falling through dream arcs 
                        crossing grids 
ferocious or mundane —

the line between life’s breath
and cremated dust mutates
neutered circle wise
a revolution, all of life’s charms 
arose then passed
                                pop goes weasel !

how to metamorphose is choice 
as cave shadowed is lit 
                                   d e t a c h e d 

Heart glorious rest ——
                       b l i s s ed 
cares not that holy scripts are opaqued
misinterpreted or 
pencil coloured rewrit 
knew caterpillars are programmed to fly
babes destined to crawl, toddle, skip
        somersault into tigers or 
        ascend as eagles from eggs 
cracked, purified

ignorance limped before experience 
patterns faded, disintegrated 
or turned pages no more
                                         sigils torn
as Spirit whispering lacy touched 
quivering strings
thunder throating 
our slumber shakes summoned 
leaps of faith sweetly om om Oommm —-

lightning peeled  
every covering 
quilts discarded 
wounds or weeping curled
feathers float luminous 
                     settle at a nest
 
                     wide Love for all and ONE

                      undressed forever 
                                        w a r m e d
