Lady Unknown

sit & script
first mystery: 
	lady unknown 

there was a time in our 
uncertain future when 
everything was cared for

world from infinite 
	mellow 
	mother
moons & metaphors

bolder than myths of knowledge
dank swarming streets
	test tubes &
	radical disbelief

a child cries
a lizard makes holes at the sun
eats the night with
	teeth of leaves

soul is organic
alternate rhythms of 
sex & sacrifice

  Thank you so much! I wrote the second stanza while meditating a few nights ago and decided to build a larger poem around it. I am delighted to hear you enjoyed it.
