XI.
Wilderness
howling growling
grow me a tail sacrum
from the stub of the spine
lithe lengthening vertebrae into space
behind beyond
a flick of the tip
pelvic mouth swings between curves
animal and instinct re creatURing
being beastly be–Ur Urbeing Ur UR
breath slides along vertebral curves
a mouth in both directions
breathing through teeth reveal
a deep subconscious inhale
even as the body sleeps tail speaks
with serpentine gesture suggesting
'the song buried in matter since the beginning of the universe'.*
*Alejandro Jodorowsky, The Way of the Tarot. Vermont: Destiny Books, 2004. from 'And if stength spoke'
