Ritual

 Brutally severed

from the umbilical cord of Mother Earth

navel-gazing into nebulous obscurity

i've lost myself in the erratic haze

between each waxing and waning phase

of senseless sage-smudged days

and quartz-dappled moon water nights

 forever anointing me

in their amnesic malaise

blinded to the pathways

that i wll lead my soul

safely home
