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.
