Control & servitude
forever your submissions,
you only love the wild
as a symbol of something to tame.
So you chattel some like cattle
just to watch the butterflies
wriggling as they emerge
from tightly bound cocoons,
delicate and safe,
manageable, under thumb.

In other news I made a Youtube playlist like I was engaging in some kind of art therapy...

Playlist:

Halloween is past, but the ancient Celtic fire festival of Samhain was celebrated at many different times. Calendars change and regional markers vary. Depending on where you live, today the sun is at 15 degrees Scorpio, the midpoint between fall equinox & winter solstice. Solar Samhain! #WitchSky

An important midpoint when the shift between the balance of light to darkness (Northern Hemisphere) is well under way.

What is undeniably gestating within you at this time to be born/ reborn in a coming springtime of your life?

Sen. Elissa Slotkin described it as a purge.

Some are for past support of diversity initiatives. Others relate to military intelligence, military leaders’ inquiries into boat strike intel on how we know Caribbean boats are running drugs or for countering “obliteration” claim of Iran’s nuke program.

Up they drift,
like the joy in a song,
Notes, like wishes,
blending peace,
moonbeams,
stillness in breathing,
and up,
through the night to the moon,
where a breeze
exhales stars to Heaven,
and our dreams,
in new music,
return
as silence,
We sleep.
