Abundant Feminine
Here is evidence of abundance
(for now)
the promise of birth with its pain, comfort
and demands
Many a sperm and egg are lost
but those that come together
must enter the body of consciousness
and enter the world crying
if it is to live.
The sacred feminine swerves from death
to love whatever breathes
when it becomes difficult
when it exhausts us
into compassion and the weeping
that brought us here.
You and I are the dance
complexity born of centuries which demand
attention and love beyond economy and jobs
and toxic greed.
We—chicken, ox, fish and ape
are more than a corporate factory.
(from Sleep With Me: Lullaby for an Anxious Planet (Ekstasis 2020)
