Brains!

Let the moon be my guide.
She is my God.
She is Lady of the sky, the younger sister of the Earth.
The great mother that is Earth
The great father that is Sun.
She leads him.
She runs circles around her sister, teasing him.
Leads him to the ends of the land, her eye ever winking.

Let me find the place where the water in me cut the land.
The land, which is the boy.
Find that place where I used to well up inside its deep places.
The lamp holder lives there.

Too late?
I’m pouring into the oceans.
I flow tediously, suddenly impregnated with salt.
Floating on my back I cry to the Moon.
By day the Sun pulls me ever closer to the heavens.
My time as that river is done.

Now I’m floating above the Earth.
I look down upon her, suspended between all three.
A sweet trinity, the truest trinity
I see the creatures, deer and elephants.
I slip out with the wind.
Pouring down on to their backs.
Seep into the arms of the Earth, a foreign part of her this time.
