Dancing Pequot River
Flying free
in rooftop ecstasy
Raptor's wings direct
with feathered pins strong, erect
swelling mountain chests
then wings
brought safely down
protecting Earth's
most sacred wounds.
Standing Yang
with wings wide spread
Left then Right
rebalancing
Bent over filling in Yin's flow
extending gratitude for out
bold attitude brought back in
for more sincere
out wanting more
more
more sacred practice
mindful praxis
moving axis
Practice outside Yang
with Yin within
happy together once again
in this million hole
with pole
extravagant excursion
upstream North
growing deep down South
flowing in/out surfing mouth
Dancing round root chakra
river source
to up reach
down stream right
to left dividing swings
from swelling North
gone sacred South
River's needy mouth
to feed
time's seas
of timeless paternal peaks
opposing valleyed surf
inhaling exhaled goddess needs
Healthy seasons too tidal full
swelling now and why and how
toward empty graying skies
Anthrocentric light
invites this ecocidal night,
upstream
patriarchal might
toward down wombed woman times
round cycling source
of Great White Father fright
Root wise spread out predation
penetrating river's source
shifting toward rich mountain rivered valleys
flowing up
then down White streaming pole
with Black uncovered silenced hole,
designing doublebinding
God-dressed nature's inspiring
spiral views
Inviting dawn's
past sunrise dance
sweeping light
round downstream
falling failing
EarthTribe's meager
flowing sacred
rivered night
Flying free
on rooftop dawning
ecstasy.
