EAGLE & WOMAN

Through the glass stained temple sky
Appears the eagle king
His wing span broad enough to lay a woman down
To steal a dog or duck to death
To humble the mind of man

On the forest floor each step as they tiptoed
Be‘tween the tiny frogs
The well fleshed holy
And the wondering business of realms beyond
Cicadas listened and marvelled at their incessant chatter
And innocent musings

What noisy beasts
These lovers all
I knew him young
We shared a pulse

While in their moments they undertook their years
Sending them off with kissing poetry and blackened peat
And mangoes and flood
Relentless sapling birthed itself
Amidst the reddened mud, he sent her incarnadine

What noisy beasts
These lovers all
I knew him young
We shared a pulse

Gone beside him in a dream
In which they shifted him like sands
Under windy sky from pristine
Youngling to Shamanic fire
Fungal threads and old rock jewels
Love was crafted by their hands
Made her potent spells of leaves
Luxuries imbued with time

Through the glass stained temple sky
Appears the eagle king
His wings span broad enough to lay a woman down
To steal a dog or duck to death
To humble the mind of man

The eagle appears and such is the way of things
The eagle appears and such is the way of things
The eagle appears and such is the way of things
Wisdom one dream projectionist
