Dirt Heart Witch
Lay in your bed
Sleepy eyed
Disenchanted
When the temple bells ring
Hit snooze
And again
Then arise, delightful soul clothed in flesh
Light streaming from your heart
Serene, full of unconditional love
Make coffee
Pee
Sit at your desk
Check email
Read blogs
Allow the clarity of your brilliant mind
To pierce logical fallacies
Bring forth reason unassailable
Write sarcastic comment
Delete same
Kneel at your altar
Light candles
Pray
Holy Mother
Grant me patience
Peace
Persistence
To make of my world
A living
Offering of
Beauty
Shovel chicken shit
Be in Joy¹
¹I’m pretty sure that Francesca de Grandis was the first person I heard say the words “be in joy” in that order, so credit goes to her for stringing those pearls.
