Obsidian I –cut you Carry it w/in
rainbows shatter into
iris glare.
Dreams break into
reality:
shadows bare.
But where’s the heart.
Stars collapse behind
what’s left –shard.
Elements: obsidian/sin tum
Yucatec Maya burned
rocks –blare.
Mind stream cut in mean:
mien brawn silex.
Thoughts flare.
Inside Pleiades constellations
radiates in between or
betwixt soul [aura presence].
Clasp across generations in
parents steps indivisible:
breaths cut into jade semblance.
Carry it within break
bread as you rest.
Others across/parallels bled.
Suns eclipse the four shades.
Then crystal pool
refracts hawks/eagles
grasp eyes fair.
In this vein earth
infused in DNA.
Purple/black lush grain.
A mothers touch silk –web
tone earth brawn flux.
Drizzle of gold whirlpool sky.
Tribes caught in the skin:
Maroon dreams brought to daylight.
