Alters and Altars

When one alters and grows,

One finds an Altar to suit,

Mothers υπόσχεση,

Symbols of bravery,

Symbols of truths,

Simplicity or complexity,

Beliefs or superstitions or knowings,

Spinning and spinning and spinning,

Vertigo of decisions, 

Freedom sweet perilous freedom,

Spun on webs of myth,

Kokopelli whispers love letters from Zephyr  to Mariah, 

arákhnē Parlee? κόρη,

Dosed with Περσεφόνη, Sun Wukong, Anansi, Anderson, fae and chichuks,

Pirates, knights, smiths, bandits and bards,

Eternal life,

Evolutionary pregnant pause,

Collective breath,

Tears of the stars and bones of the earth,

Pressure and heat and gravity,

Crucible of humanity.

υπόσχεση - promise or oath

arákhnē - Arachne 

κόρη - kore or maiden

Περσεφόνη - Persephone
