Kyphi

an Egyptian scent
earthy and sensual

a prayer to unlock
my mother's suffering

she'll walk in beauty
silk sent into sunlight



Ele Ele

earth house
stones at my feet

earth house
home and earth

an open door
an open kingdom


Moonstone

a cavern dance
a dharma dance

effect precedes cause

sunshine mambos
on the mountain

weaving illusion
and it could change

bird form
spider spirit

weaving illusion
and it could change

"I really love men"

force it


Nepal

a place setting
a place of heart

life stone of the Dakinis

first born, first known
woman and spirit

this side and that side
rock paper song

Stonebones

an oracle speaks
