Twined Twins

Two Cosmic Sisters: Light/Dark, Yin/Yang,

in troubled relationship, represent

womben's attempt to salvage meaning

out of the spiritual train-wreck

of broken relationships

in patriarchy’s

fear, lies, hate, violence

duality, separation, alienation.

Black/white, male/female, guilty/innocent, insane/sane::

patriarchy's harsh exclusions are a trap.

Moon-cycling,

Trinity is both One and Three.

Fertile, ever changing Source of Truth,

self-renewing, creative Mother of All,

She reconciles duality.

__________________________________________________________________

Goddess as Two is an inner marriage,

embracing the Other within Herself.

She is the sacred marriage

not of equals or opposites

but of honored partners,

dancing between two poles to know themselves.

The poles are lies, abstractions:

truth is the dance;

truth is erotic magnetism between them.

She is One, looking in the mirror of Herself

and wondering which is which,

(Aditi’s empty picture frame)

dancing brave on shaky

fresh creative ground: not this/ not this!

The crescent moon embraces dark, embraces light,

waxes, ebbs, is born again.

Butterfly's two wings enable flight

and our lips sing. Two eyes allow our sight.

Two sexes reproduce our race

(but marry, merry, whom you will)

Asleep, awake, we do a double-take on what is real.

We process using heart and head.

Yin/yang embrace and share.

The moon morphs; cocoons transform

(uncertainty! alive or dead?)

Light shades. Storm spirals and clears.

Individuals profile myriad beauty, creativity.

Her secret deep integrity dances in us, aware,

playing with gender, relations, possibilities,

reconciling opposites.

_____________________________________________________

Two, like the past and present together,

create the future, move toward the third. 

The movement from broken two

toward a sacred creative marriage

blossoms into the fertile flowing

moon-phases of three,

and brings us back to One.

____________________________________________________

Twin spiral whirling nebulae,

twin spiral horns of DNA,

and quantum leaps are twinned.

Open to let the living breath

of solar wind unwind.

Allow the Cosmic mind

to cast Her filamaent of hope entwined.

Let Her unbind, reweave

Her firmament refined,

designed to set us free in unity.

Allow remembrance to entrance

so we can see (binocular)

and be Her elegance,

together in Her dance.

Bilateral symmetry,

asymmetric sexuality,

One in reality:

Two's Mystery!

Brave hope for harmony!

____________________________________

One is always Mystery,

mirrored by the rejected, abducted dark moon,

moving in hope and courage past death,

beyond brokenness, abuse, and despair,

to bring us fearless back around,

to the rebirth of wholeness and delight.
