Wake up naiveté
It is time to wake up
la manada is waiting.
Wash your face
with the rocío
of the new day
Plant your bare soles,
ground your feminine sound
en las entrañas
and be calm, knowing
that your roots are growing
Keep the rage at bay
not too far away
you may need her pledge
Put the teared robes on
with fierce vitality
then listen, see, feel
Give yourself the initiated hand
and cross the river
she is waiting…
…to take it from where yesterday we left it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lay down slumberer,
it is time.
The stars are above. Watching
Close your eyes
to see
the dark growing.
Listen to the ancient howls
how they touch your soul
and be calm, knowing
that the lullaby repeats herself
en tu nombre.
Pray.
In silence
She is listening
Alert.
Still.
Surrendering.
Half aware,
half gone to the other world
where she is waiting…
…to take you where we left it yesterday.
