Tara
A temple
Beside a crematory
A living goddess
In a bloodbath promontory
Silver crown
Crescents her hair
Black as the night
The new moon lair
Red javas bloom
All round her neck
The labyrinth of maya
In a tantrick's deck
She is the mother of cosmic galaxies
She is the womb of embryonic praxis
She is the tongue
She is the word
She is the mother
Wherever you are
She is Tara
She is Buddha
She is the union
In active yoga
She is the star
She is Terra Cotta
The wisdom of Druids
The Tarahumara.
