Gemini
- for Ann
she dances with exceptional grace
to a place silver with moon
twins gestalting into oneness
while keeping everyone guessing
I follow her footsteps on secret paths
to light and air and breath
planetary forces convince me
she is more than one
she is more than many
Isis dancer hair of stars
laughter falling in glimpses
set apart with prisms and crystals
swimming toward an infinity
she is ancient river and future home
to children of grace and compassion
leaves of gold and sand
hollowed caves and hallowed halls
falling toward the now
fully present daughter of totems
remembering what was whispered
I celebrate your birth
and recognize the sister the mother
the child of Ma and initiate of Luna
hands of genetic herbs
scent of lilac and rosemary
following her back to a time
when all was pure and certain
