Peyotero: Guide to the Holy Crop Knocking on Heaven's Door

wandering through
the chaparral for a
green knob where
there's some medicine

peyote button warfare
psychedelic stained glass -
church window hallucination
a mescal bottle reflecting in the sun

enter the doors
of perception to the
divine source of all existence
peyotero guiding hunting trips

selling peyote buttons
Native American Church
pray to the medicine everyday
religion pilgrimage train a new generation

burlap sacks leave
the bible behind
mescalito God's authentic source
spiritual vehicle for self-knowledge

they say The Sundance Wives
came for the flower
they say we escaped the
hornet's nest to befriend the bee hives
Bob Dylan we set up a tipi in a thunder shower
formed an alliance with a peyotero
guide to the Holy Crop knocking on Heaven's door

You did Carlos Constanada proud here. I'll pass on the bottle of mescal though. Tried it once but I'm pretty sure it was bottled by Arco. Patrick

"it's gettin' dark, too dark to see..." So it is with peyote though it appears to set us free its shackles root-bound are the fee that hides within its mystery

there's always a sharp sting in the tail of that which gains access to heaven, it seems... Love the visual. What IS it about Bob Dylan that makes his essence so pure, like a lit fuse that endures burning down through the ages? Could spend weeks in that tipi, given the chance... xx
