Autumn Sky


It’s time to let go

Spring into free fall

Spinning in the air

Risking all


It’s time to cut loose

Shed the old snake skin

Gather back my pack

My real kin


It’s time to hit the road

Travel by moonlight

True partners beside me

No more fight


It’s time to sing songs

In the keys women know

Hunting and loving well

Seeds I sow


It’s time to let go

Spring into free fall

Spinning in the air

Risking all




Lunar Eclipse


For a moment

Time slowed to a forever tempo

Infinity in light and dark


A smokey smudge

In the night heavens

Moon paused behind her veil


Car after car slowed

Halted alongside fields and highways

Heeding an ancient call


Without salutations

We joined in communal homage

To our humility


For a moment

Time slowed to forever tempo

Infinity in light and dark
