Replying to a comment on:
Mushroom Potion #9 (Free verse) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
I believe in the sky
I believe in the sunrise,
and the ocean
I believe in outer-space
& The mushroom potion
I have seen Saturn, turn
into the world snake,
and I have been told
of the coming earth -
- quakes, and I said
"Good, let them come"
Then I pissed at the grape-vine
grabbed a handful of purples,
and greens, and went for a walk
through the pines, and through the
trees, something followed me.
Through the trees, something stalked me
Passed the trees, it was inside of me
I believe in angels, and space-ships
I believe in black magic
Inorganic beings, and in love,
and all that's tragic.
Chaos and order,
and the Mayans too
Dancing drunk Africans
and Islander Voodoo.
I believe in myself, and
hard work in stone and in dirt
I believe in giant temples
and pyramids at sunset.
I trust my mind
I study plants
I have spells, and
knowledge and
music to chant.
I have yesterday,
tomorrow, today
I believe in all life,
and that death is okay
I believe in the simple,
but yet, the divine
Most cannot imagine
the sights of #9.
My father is digging a 300 foot long, four -
- foot deep trench; up at his pear farm
We dig at night, under the moon in the
high desert of Southern California, star-light.
Because, the sun out here will kill you
There isn't a neighbor for three miles
In any given direction. Green Mojave
rattlers, and yellow bark scorpions.
