a poem from Demeter
keep your belly on the ground.
otherwise, how will you know when it’s time?
not just Time
but time for anything?
belly on the ground
shedding your skin
for Knowledge
only comes from Descent
and Resurrection
finding the Life
After.
and Knowing it is always
waiting for you
cooking
turning swords into plowshares
making out in the haystack or on a picnic blanket.
there is no shame, in being human
only threshing and thrashing
until that skin shake shake shakes
and slides
as you leave it behind like a sketch of who you were back there
but you only keep gliding
moving
dancing
threshing
thrashing
with your belly on the ground
Sun on that beautiful new skin.
