First, the legs give out...
softly enfolding as root thrusts into Earth,
awakened, aroused, a belly full of stars

Quickening into painless, ecstatic immolation
This Water, Breath and Bone I call I
disintegrates~integrates

Moving through lifetimes of yearnings and burnings-Salem to Chiron,
staked and tied, skinned alive
Spiritual ignition reclaimed,
bodies properly prepared, bathed in salt and blown to the four corners.

The pulse, pulse, pulsing throb
arising from
emerging to
screams down from the trees

Nature's exaltation screaming down from the trees
Pro~creation!

For life, all for life...

Still our wanderings-all for life!
Ground our mishandlings-all for life!
Weave our frayed endings-all for life!

Pulse, pulse, pulsing throb
fingers curl to claws
tongue extends sucking navel to meet its tip
tongue extends and parthenogenically...

Pele pours forth our birth-death~liquid cycle
Earth birthing herself-throb, pulse
In In In we go!!!
Instant of Insistent Instincts

Consumed in fire...
I shall eat you!
but only for this pouring
this future~birth

All for life!
