From this morning's Zoom session.

Birth

Today, on the solstice
the snow is thick as the white fat peeled from under the skin
of the sacrifice, or anyway the meal.
The clear liquor of it is on our mouths
Fragrant, obscene, and delicious.

And afterwards, walking it off, as we say
each step is a threshold, a transformation, a gamble
and maybe this is better than wishing
for some greater transformation.

After the first time, you have to do it all yourself
without any obvious portals between dimensions
without anyone switching on the lights
to let you know that this is a new world now, again.

And the body inside its own gates will not again
give or receive such clear messages of arrival and welcome
that first music high and pure
will not play again—

Never except once, at the beginning
or the end, depending on how you see it,
of this long winter.
