90 Degrees  https://suno.com/s/3s3L5PNToZi2lROG

90 degrees is a hard angle Astrologically 

 Demanding full attention 

In philosophy we agree 

To disagree 

Poetically 

We speak 

Aesthetically 

We square off 

Authoritatively 

Lines drawn 

 Lightly in the sand 

Discreetly Challenging 

In philosophy we agree to disagree


DID I LOSE   https://suno.com/s/bWdWMQO36ZXVvMK1

Did I lose Myself 

After that first year 

I should have known 

spirit plummeted 

mood mourned 

 by once lucky Bats' 

ammonia'd guano 

thick as thugs 

Did I lose Myself 

locusts of disgruntled housewives 

a lack Of knowledge 

dull swords rusted 

From disuse cowards' tongues 

of daggers razored lies 

Weapons of spies 

Every inch Of change a battle 

Did I lose Myself 

Did I lose Myself 

In the war


Magi   https://suno.com/s/Cdd3WibFuEQRGhV7


The magician made

Birds from dollar bills

His assistant wore a sari

Of secrets and silk

Knotted mysteriously

Tucked to bind securely

He spoke of Pisces

Common births bred by

Beltane fires

And of Leos

More rare

Children of last hopes

Before winter's

Brewing despair

This magic man

Illusion drawn

From dreams

More real made memory

A singularity

Outside the realm

Of possibility

In a poorly lit life

Of scarcity

Night skulls
One bare-boned face
Locked in horror
Eschewing grace

Night skulls
Repeated across
Reams of
Childhood dreams

Night skulls
of death 
Wished on you
You died, and died

When i saw you
I knew
You had long given up
The ghost

Night skulls
Simply suffering
The body as
Convenient host

Night skulls
communed
Until monsooned
In the blood

 

Question   https://suno.com/s/O1LQa1lTJdKzdOud
 

I am the fear
That frightens me

Woman dreams 
Bruised to pleasure

looking glass knowledge 
Hiding something

I was Waiting 
For Green roads.

0ak, a host,
Leads into forest

I am the fear
That frightens me

All things forget 
When the city sleeps

The future of maps
is Memories

I am the fear
That frightens me

I am searching
Everywhere

I cannot find
The place

Sore afraid 
Naked I go.

I am the fear
That frightens me

A woman sings
Mystery of song

Strings of remembrance
Stages of absurdity

Heart weeps
Through the darkness

Worming content
Imagination's labyrinth

Trans-lunar delirium 
A deeper sunniness

I am the fear
That frightens me

I am the fear
That frightens me


Solstice  https://suno.com/s/7hrJColWegAp0GQy

Light grows
as berries ripen
succulent and sweet

Morning light 
Twilight
melting with sweet 
Creamy, Milky Way 
of night’s deep sleep

Light grows
My heart
Light newness of day
Sleep's quiet
Afterimages 
Fading away

Dawn’s Ray connection
forms a path 
for introspection

Light grows

The heaviness of Noon bears 
awareness full of choice
red and gold and bright
with a day's load of promises 
those kept and 
those misplaced

Light slows
Evening branches 
Darken
Into Birdsong 
And sleep

Light slows
Light grows
Light grows
And glows
And slows

Light slows
Light grows
Light grows
And glows
And slows

2 of Wands to Tower 
 

A spark

sticks feed flames
landscape unravels

in flickers and flashes
revealing passions

surging with light
Fear not

A spark

the beginning
has its own end

moves through us
in mystery

cloaking us 
in destiny

A spark

Not a joke
When the heat strikes, 
We are smoke.


Whatever 


Whatever matters

when it passes the stick
when it dodges the blow
when it answers in accusation
when it chokeholds the flow

Whatever matters

when the final curtain falls
is the play is the thing
brewed inside this cup
tempests in a teapot

Whatever matters

if it stings the upper lip
if it stubs gnarly toes,
it’s what matters
not who’s ready for a sip

fault lines, lei lines,
ripples in the storm
Whatever matters
not the unborn

What matters,
Not who, forsooth.



In response to Audre Lorde
 

Who is woman?
   for whom you speak.
This voiceless, frightened victim,
I'm sorry,
Not,
I know only courage when I think
of my gender.
The courage of silence,
of deep knowing
of larger enemies than any
shaped by mere words.
Woman is courage, is quiet, is still.
Womanis open, is listening, is attuned
   to resonant choirs of footsteps
   and footprints and tiptoes
      of progress.
Woman's progress is not chopping and
   felling of trees, not clashing of swords,
   nor beating of chests,
   unless the beating of chests
      is the drumming of hearts,
      pulsing in rhythm with all nature.
Who is this silent, cringing, quaking reader
   whom you address?
This is not woman.
This is not the fragile being that stands back up
   from every blow, that holds a space
   for the human race
Yet to be run,
not won.

That is to say, all of the references used to interpret a text are themselves texts, including the "text" of reality as a reader knows it. There is no true objective, non-textual reference from which interpretation can begin.
