Among several sublime
and subprime
sacred meanings
and secular purposes
for HOME,
in October Sunbeams
of BlueSky enlightenment
and GreenEarth empowerment,
Dennis Lehane's HOME
refining peaceful stable minds
defining sacred communion
for unconditional compassionate love,
not intentionally unkind
I could not sync
with mythological
or ecological
or theological CONCEIT
But, also could not find a replacement
until recalling indigenously wise
nature-spirited refacement
of EarthMother's EcoRoom,
a regenerate matriarchal WOMB
Making peace for Here
Now sacred place,
until we disregard
dismantle
desecrate
and degenerate,
in AnthroSupremacist ways
down toward MotherEarth's TOMB
GLOOM
Extracted
cancelled
pathological HOME
of DOOM
Which maybe does say something
about mythologically epic
CONCEIT.
'Shining in borrowed feathers'*1
cursed to have Face scars *2
shines still to lovers' s delight
( *1 : Moon shines because of Sun;
*2 : scars which are scars due to
meteorite bombardment, mythologically
stands to be scars due to a curse on the Moon
hurled by his father-in-law)
Beautiful Venus smiled upon her Mars
Diving through time and space, falling from stars
With hooded eyes she moved to entice him
Green hips waving about, a flower stem
When Spring revealed her kingdom to his awe
At last Jack Frost's cold heart began to thaw
They slowly sway together, building trust
and into the virile clay he did thrust
Sweet succulent nectar she did siphon
In full sun, the fruit began to ripen
He grew much stronger, harvesting the field
Took such pride in the bounty it did yield
But time caught up to him and he grew old
Autumn leaves mourned his light that now shone cold
Venus held him close and they danced once more
his body weakened and her waters tore
Taking one last gasping breathe, another
The wailing son now proclaims her mother

Not necessarily mythologically accurate...but a cute little story about the seasons.
