Mother Raven


There is no beginning.
Let a dark and unknown Goddess

be your breath.

Then you won't need any law

but wonder.

Just for a little while
sorrow and joy

will drink from the same bowl,

the one you've been holding

in your rib cage

and polishing too carefully.

What true chalice doesn't
get chipped
and tip over?

Spill it now.
Mother Raven in her fire-flecked feathers

brings you no sun in her beak

to dip in heart wine

but a black hole whirling inward,

the circular splendor 

of all that is hollow,

portal to the uncreated.
There is no end.
