Solstice Week

Birthright 

  Serpents and Eagles
 terrorists and slaves
 Enforcement through symbols
 deciding who behaves
according to rules,
what is taught in schools,
which way the rivers flow,
the truth of what we know.
Mirror, mirror in the sky
tell me who; don't tell me why.
The winds of change are calling,
blowing storm clouds into wild array.
“Awry” I say – the whole world's silly with it.
Newfangled weapons of biblical proportion
“Zap it up, boys – avoid the sins
of abortion and forbidden love – make War!
on every deviancy from the code.”
Sleep safe and warm
absolved from all harm
by the goods you've been sold.
Re-selling a story of
secondhand glory,
of the Man up above
who kills out of love
and how you most honor His Name.
Squander your birthright for a handful of shame.
Or, take back your soul.
Create your own meaning.     



Changlings Channel on Solstice Week  

Of effervescent Mercury's directing
Charming trickster,
playing upon winds of change – Quicksilver surfing
Exchanging old air for new
Inhale and whoosh
under the sea-change brewing.
Sentimental, far from gentle,
whirlwinds gasp lifelong ambitions.
Expected conditions,
wavering memory 
catch and fly the breeze.
Blown out to undulating ocean, 
forgotten gills respond –
mer-mind awakens.
