Mother Sky and Father Earth

Hugeness
Ribs
Heart in Throat
A new leaf
Mother Earth Father Sky
Bleeding
giving birth to me
Watch the tall buildings shake
My very foundation
quaking at it's core
Sister Sun Brother Moon
the sister wearing sunglasses ironically
sheepishly guilty that she shines so hot
Knowledge of what is to come
The heat builds from the blood of Mother Earth
A fire rages
and burns our houses down
Mother Earths drum claws ready
guised as a dream catcher
Brother moons peacock changing orb
only shows half himself
The other half waits thinking he knows
what will happen as the sun rays force us inside
My rebirth is as glorious as my claws
reaching for Father Sky
and as my feet melt into the roots of the earth
The wind blows
away the attempts to scratch
the surface
The ghosts of fearful faces
and smiley faces
ride off into the distance
smoke rises from the heat
and disguises the faces but they are there
Fiery red hair in the sky
roots herself into the earth
The hands hidden
but they do all the dirty work
they play in the blood as ink
writing the stories of the voiceless
fingering the objects
unswallowing another's life lived
unmaking it all clean and "purty"
purging
Oh how she loves to bleed
dirty and makes a big mess
so everyone can see it
not hidden away
a story untold
in some garbage can
or dump site land fill
she will mine for images that protect her
and will have her life lived
well
