Kachinas on the Hood of a Jeep

a reflection
from the past to
a new birth a re-birth
to answer the question that's
been plagued of human emotions

now if the
character shall
look back and see
how inefficient love
may have been and in some
cases how inefficient friendship
had been then the mirror glass is
effective

to set kachinas
on the hood of a jeep
masked trinkets brought
to life with cornmeal bakes
a pattern in the sun everlasting

when asked what
they could diaper her
in she replied at the age
of three - "swan feathers
and angora rabbit"

and anywhere
in the bible does
it say how adobe is
a union of earth and water
or how a peyote priest heals
the scars on a tipi dew cloth?

impressive symbols
in the night dreams
the quail and japanese
calligraphy - carla higheagle
riding her appaloosa the egyptians
burning kyphi wood at sunset for peace
of mind

antler velvet
worth $110 dollars
a pound and $100 dollars
a gram in the far east a
market that is unknown to
many the velvet antler market
can crash too - aren't we always
fluctuating? the question that's
been plagued of human emotions

Thank you Sage...the idea of traditional Kachina dolls sitting on the hoods of a modern jeep is an interesting juxtaposition. It seems absurd to me, but then I am not the writer.

You also enumerate a lot of non-western spiritual objects and symbols.It reminds me of a book I am reading, "The Soul's Religion" by contemporary writer Thomas Moore. He deals in western and non western spirituality, and as lot of Jungian concepts: symbols, dreams, archetypes and so on.

Your last paragraph seems to talk about an object becoming devalued symbolically by its very monetary value. Or am I reading things into it that aren't there?

Peace,

ChipB

...always fluctuating? Where's that flux capacitor when you need it, eh?
