cocoondalini

cicada skin
XVII years by the roots
aquarian
star card
reciprocal vessel eternal essences
after the flower you get fruit
thats the evidence
half full half emptiness
half lull half readiness
the rings of the tree’ll tell you the sentiment of the sediment in the soil is universe medicine

levitating herbalist
snakes close to earth’s furnaces
the atoms apple of my third eyes irises
branches fulla nest eggs and nourishments

sunset on the eve of an eclipse
on the feathers edge of a winter solstice
at the fringe of a forest full moonlit
the climax of an awakening – a womb gift

a wound lick
a loom prick
the trauma scar of a healing hearts wound stitch

a mood shift
a new moon lens
and the smooooth-ness
of the fruits skin

the caterpillar
the chrysalis
the silk thread
the metamorphosis

the golden moment
spirits in the wind
the unraveling of the wings
the proboscis (pro-bah-sis)

the first flight
a portal probe of consciousness
no borders in site
just ultraviolet light to sense

spiral petals with a floral scent
nourishing nectar and pollen gifts
the full spectrum in the final glimpse
life cycles in iridescent bliss

apples don’t fall far from trees limbs
unless the tree is on the edge of existence
unless the seed is more dense than the circumference
and makes a blackhole before it implodes and vanishes

and attracts light role reversalment
what came first the snake or the skin
the form or the transformation
the roots the bark the leaf or the stem

the soul or the soular system
the soil the coil or temptation
of fate at the wheel and the tapestree as it spins
and the cocoon starts again
