Fecho os olhos

E vejo-te, ó Deusa

Sheela Na Gig escancarada

Engolindo-me de regresso

Ao calor verde 

Do ventre daTerra Máe

Kali negra

Lingua encarnada 

Estendida a convite

- Qual passadeira da vida!

Pisca-me o olho

Enquanto dança animada

Sobre Shiva despreocupado

Extasiado

E Nuut estrelada

Aconchegando-me 

No seu manto brilhante

Da noite cerrada

Pela lua beijada

Calle-Beira

Essa Mãe que dá colo

Por paragens celtas

Recolhendo as chuvas

Na montanha

Para nos encher

De mimos soalheiros

Logo ao raiar da poupa

Exuberante

Que me há-de acordar

Até à proxima estação fria...

Não durmo

Mas sossego o cansaço

No teu regaço, ó Senhora. 

À noite

Faz frio na serra

Mas é um frio quentinho

Aquele friozinho bom

A felicidade gelada

Que dá arrepios na espinha

E aconchega o coração 

De quem não dorme

Com a excitação 

De cumprir um sonho.

In joy

In joy they came

The creatures of the water 

Swimming and jumping and plunging and splashing

Around and again

Were they human? 

Dolphins? Whales?

Perhaps algae...

Could it be tardigrades? Bacteria maybe. 

Stingray, elephant, owl, spider, ant, eagle, bear, oak, sunflower, heron, mushroom, granite, hibiscus, magpie, cloud, bee...

In joy they came

The creatures of the water 

Swimming and jumping and plunging and splashing

Around and again

Were they human? 💦

O osso está em flor

A dor a meu favor

Outro parto que findou

O alivio se instalou

A tempestade amainou

As nuvens se dissipando

E revelando

Que eu sou 

Um sol vivo. 

How to Love a Witch (magick spell)

Be bold

To be brave

To be honest enough

To be yourself

Not the self

That you have learned

Not the self you think

But the self you truly are

The one with no past 

And no future

No strings attached

Or guilt

Or fear

Or shame

To be judged

To be criticized

To be bullied

For being funny

For being weird

For being present

For being human

- That beautiful creature

Made of mud and soil

And desire and dreams...

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Oh and don't bring her flowers

Bring herbs and berries

Mushrooms and feathers

And bones and stones 

And sounds in conch shells

And let her do the magick!

A Dream Within a Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow:
You are not wrong who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep 
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allen Poe

Oh, the emptiness of that embrace

Between untimely calls and taxis

Eggs and cappuccinos and avocados

And other fancy named 

Nutrientless snacks and gibberish

Were you even there for a second?

Have you ever been there at all?
