Alma de la Vid
Shipibo meditation circle A journey into Night A dream within a Flame A Truth in utero A Reality surpassed The serpent uncoils Through the fire, slithers Flickering flashes On a scaled tongue A pink bud, ruffled ‘Neath her cloak cached Roused from slumber By a night wasp’s sting A tiny Sun Angel Weaves a chacruna coverlet Turns her amethyst throat To the jaws of the puma Soul of the Vine Drips from the branch A viscous brew Into a cupped hand Throbbing vein Life sustain Death in retreat While the jaguar weeps...
