“Nala ke Anuenue”

Meditations on K.R. #3 | a poem

Due to Uranus, she was unexpected.
I didn’t tell you because 
	what if I lost her?
	what if I had to let her go?
Your Cancer Moon would writhe for the gestation
and throw off my game
	(this game of catch and keep).
So I went to France
and didn’t tell your sister.

Then the quickening came
and understanding opened like a McKennic mushroom:

	the past is the future
	the spice is the worm
	there is no spoon

So I stabbed you with joy,
assaulted with hope,
and with harrowing cascades of effulgence

She was born alive

There was no other name than:
The Heavens; the Calm of the Skies
Fiery; Sizzling
Lustrous
Emerald jewel
Rainbow.
