PARTY DOWN ANASAZI
for Gaela
KYPHI
an Egyptian scent
earthy and sensual
a prayer to unlock
my mother's suffering
she'll walk in beauty
silk sent into sunlight
NAZCA SERAPH
weaving illusion
and it could change
bird form
spider spirit
weaving illusion
and it could change
OSHUN
daughter of the mountain
river goddess, source of joy
new moon, love shines
jewels drums mirrors
new moon, lamp of love
love shines in your mirror
MANU
manu, bird
manu wai, water bird
huruing wuhti
rock clay hardstuff
manu wai huruing wuhti
water bird radiant in clay
NAGA JEWEL
rock cut with sand
really blasted
snake arising
egg arriving
snakesong, eggsong
rock beyond this world
WORO
dancing green woman
plant spirit stone
laughing green woman
tracing her shadow
singing green woman
"I really love men"
CHACO RIVER BEING
what is it
gives pleasure
in a minim?
don't ask
let's not
force it
NEPAL
a place setting
a place of heart
circle a mountain
ride a thunderbolt
an awakening
an "Ah"
MASK OF YORUBA
a reminder of innocence
an initiation
beadwork looking cool
each one a friend
cowrie shell, Orisha kiss
life stone of the Dakinis
MYSTERY OF MUSIC
nest of the bird goddess
Sumer 3000 BC
first born, first known
woman and spirit
this side and that side
rock paper song
STONEBONES
water lines
dream lines
song lines
ley lines
bones in stones
an oracle speaks
