Burrowing (for Heather) - POEM



Burrowing

A shade was drawn
And I didn’t even know it
The light from her eyes was soul-lit
Infused in my dark corners
Exhaling a sigh of home
Burrowing into my badger earth
Swallows nest
Bear hibernation winter cave
Manta ray sea sand on ocean’s briny bottom

Like gravity
She supports me
With feminine energy
Goddess synergy
Coursing through her
Twenty-seven chakras
Chanting
Ninety-three mantras
She
Somehow exhales
Into my hungry male
Into body and mind
The stillness that mines my
Divine strip mine masculine
Making me want to protect her light
So it always feels safe to shine
To explore the dark parts
Of our hearts
Neolithic hands thickly cupped around her candle light
On a whipping windy winter’s eve
She brings her healing light on angels wings
To two
Who are one
As the silent stars strobe
On the black barren canvas
Of night.
