Body, my body, why have you forsaken me?
Why betray me so?
As mind explodes with passions I am no longer capable of improvising
These hands are not my hands
This vehicle, carrying divine pleasures and unspeakable agony
Chiron the wounded healer
A temporary space hosting infinite soul
Slowly becoming a cage
I would not trade this
The people you have introduced are now family
We cannot choose our family of origin
Nor the familiar bonds of terrible circumstance
I spread my shaking arms wide and let it all move
Within
May I be of service
For the greater good of all concerned
Please keep this conduit clear and true and without attachment
Thank you grief
Thank you despair
In you I find gratitude and deepening compassion
Some of the most beautiful beings I've known join the fire
A widening circle of mirrored light
Bow and pray
Dance and sing
Howl as wolves
I remember how to howl
In echoes of diaphanous moonlight
Body, my body.
