Mother Raven


There is no beginning.

 Let a swarthy 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.

True chalices get chipped  

and tip over.

Spill your dark energy now.

What Mother Raven offers in 

her fire-flecked feathers

and ravishing beak

is not a sun to dip in heart wine

but the spiraling splendor 

of all that is hollow,

whirling inward.

Take, eat, this is the portal 

to the uncreated.

There is no end.
