II Cups / IV Wands

Feb 5, 2024

If you’ve tried it yourself you’ll know
The difficulty of writing a happy poem
To start off with one cup
Neither empty nor full of this body of opalescent water
Supple and free flowing

through the valley of fire

Until one cup becomes two
So that my cup is now yours
And the stream turns into steam
Until life is given by one, and bore by another
What’s twisted was not plot but two gentle forces

entwined - yes

You may now say love

is in the air
