PARTICIPATION MYSTIQUE
PLEASE DO CONFUSE THE END
WITH THE BEGINNING
She is gorgeous +dark skinned speaking
a singsong French Pneumatic breasts ride
high +bounce Mesopotamian goddess material
in urban jungle devoid of horizons +round
feminine hills of magic +deep wells
When God was a woman thighs+bellies buttocks
+breasts were worshipped The age of uroboros
No shortage of fecund Great Round now extinct
Numb citydwellers uncertain where end begins +
beginning ends Not realizing that they do not
The whole point of the uroboros is infinity but if
you have been programmed to believe in straight
lines +greying male sky Gods poor you Perhaps
the Rabbi who stopped at Gethsemane before being
nailed to a tree knew that: the vertical + horizontal
can be dangerous in the wrong hands And that no one
has ever been or ever will be crucified on a circle

October 6, 1998: 21 year old Matthew Shepard a buoyant,
diminutive, openly gay Wyoming student, was found bloodied
and comatose in a field, strung up in a manner later described
as a crucifixion.
