Anoint Anoint Anoint
Oil of Honeysuckles suckle suckle suckle
Survival
Anoint Anoint Anoint
With Sapphire infused water on a full moon
Anoint Anoint Anoint
With Lady Slipper in your vision your body
Anoint Anoint Anoint
Every Hour Every THIS V A S T
Lady Slipper pink humility
Woodland flower full of space
Fleshy sack of air lowers
Not to be picked says the law
Lady Slipper vital organ
Irresistible, was picked
Anoint Anoint Anoint
On a full moon consecrate
Lady Slipper left wild

WINTER A TIME MACHINE
ever past ever now
chilled air in evening
chips away at my shoulder
crackle of fire sounds of sleet
we cradle our babies
with a gentle rock
light a match
