The spirit of Georgia  O'Keeffe was present...

see?

Reading "Rose Petals, Pale Ones"...

reading "17 Breaths, 17 Haiku" 

reading "Truth, Says the White Deer"

reading Bosque Dreaming: Fox Medicine  

reading "Flower Moon"...

curling her slender fullness

into the Flower Moon 

folding Beauty into Bliss

she gathers nirvana

in a delicate calligraphy of legs

dabs Truth between her eyes

so sweet  the Light

White Deer's desire to know it

to dip her lithe pink tongue

into Moonflower's Cup       

effuse deliriant ~ pure white ink

a kiss upon Datura's Sacred face

so effortlessly fleet her Transcendence

luminous spark of grace on her heels

no fleurish ~ no tracks

to follow up the indigo trail

leaping into enlightenment      

now here now there quantum magic  

too curious to taste with my tongue too

I put on Datura's Sacred Moonflower mask

spill myself into her pool of dreams

follow her dance into the illuminating alchemy of night

I leap to kiss White Deer's sacred face

drown inside her full Flower Moon

See what I mean?  The spirit of Georgia  O'Keeffe was present... in her painted images, in my photo, in the blossoms of the Sacred Datura opening up behind the stage as night fell... in my poem, Flower Moon, and in the Sacred Datura photos I took by flashlight after everyone left...  MAGIC!

Namasté Georgia...

Namasté Sacred Datura ❤
