Moon

“Key Words: Pisces; final testing; wrong turns, illusion;
burning off karma; interaction or struggle with the subconscious; threshold to new levels of consciousness.”
(page 51, Ziegler, Gerard. Tarot: Mirror Of The Soul)

the sun’s in the beetle’s pincers
moving in the night
blood drops from the moon
pomegranate blues
hibernate in the jackal’s belly
afraid to wake up
wings tear at the soil
ready to soar
cover me in the dust of the moon
don’t wait up for me
I’ll be home soon

your shadows show you
all that you deny
a classic abyss
in black and white
it takes all you’ve got
to keep your feet on the ground
to keep from wandering up
from the underground
cover me in the dust of the moon
don’t wait up for me
I’ll be home soon

the craters give footholds
so before sunrise
you can stand up tall
to reflect the light
the moon will strip
the meat from your bones
with a loving embrace
you will be reborn
cover me in the dust of the moon
pray for me that
I’ll be home soon
