Fertility

The running Rabbit seen in the Moon

has twin phallic pestle ears,

stirring the fertile mortar

of the cauldron

(womb/tomb, yoni/lingam, yin/yang)

vital energy of harmony.

On the puzzle moon’s mottled face,

dark/crescent/full, a chase

of disappearing shapes play symmetry

in peace. Endlessly

they re-arrange in grace,

reconciling duality

with healing cycling change,

reforming in renewal's dance, recycling

genital, generative

Mystery.

Asterisk joining heaven and earth

(ancient indigenous Canadian petroglyph!)

rabbit ears; antennae many-armed,

morning and evening star,

twin symbols of life and death, rebirth,

reviving vitality, open to cosmic vibrations, vivid, vital,

mirroring vibrant open legs of grounding,

curled furry maternal den of burrowed nurturing.
