Breathing Through Your Sole

Image
Full grok in wondrous suchness sole to soul and sol of solitude the sun my bare feet mouths that hunger for a lunar pulse the Ourobóros of my serpent spine with wounded skull devouring dust in Hebrew "adamah" the breath and spirit one in ancient languages of flesh that tell us how to feel not how to think the Qi the Ruuh the Pneuma Shakti pun of shock electric Goddess bellowing Adámic sod into a living person "nephesh" from the verb "nephash" to breathe and yes ye soles unshod be free to wander in my garden now beneath the new moon of first planting and inhale from earthworm-toes to loamy fontanel through furrows of my cortex musky fountains alchemic of dark ‘shroom juice transmuting clod to consciousness a larva full of stars.
