the visitor, a white sow
a bouquet of corn stalks
coming by and hanging out
the red river breaking off
into trickling streams flowing
dripping violent cascades
propelled by gravity
the laws of the universe
apply now strictly enforced
we are only allowed to whisper
to say the name brings
with it a punch to the gut
strong men crumble despite
testosterone and arrogance
make jokes dismissing the sacred
the rite of ceridwen hangs
low in the night sky
a knowledge of ancient magic
bubbling pushing expelling
out with the old
in with the new
it’s the tides
breathing
up and down
round and round
the cave swept clean of debris
no longer needed for food
no life inside for years
still fueling intuition
the ability
to create
to grow
to feed
to protect
deep inside is the power
of life itself encapsulated
in the red pear shaped space
hibernation over waking in the place
rejuvenation of the body
the relighting of the feminine
is not always lovely a stroll
through the wild wisteria
also causing shivering moments
of orgasmic joy and release
the business of blasphemous
propaganda setting fires
to the bodies of the unfortunate
members homogametic gender
a chasm between the woman
and the power of the moon
the power of the flowing waters
feminine hygiene of poison sanitation
plastic and bleach and astringents
inserted, strapped down, suffocating
purchased to keep it at bay
a social abstract handed out
the masses willingly smile
while being robbed and fucked over
screaming the lies tied in pretty bows
word for word-verbatim of advertising
making money for those detached
subliminal messages removing
the ability of access and wonderment
most reject the visitor’s promises
slamming steel doors in her face
the crone of ancient knowledge
transforming from hound to otter to hawk
soaring up again looking back
she nods her head despite
nativities of the young
her eyes twinkle brightly
watching as she encourages
until metamorphosis complete
