The Kiva

Down, down into the earth
From the light into the warm, dark yet neuminous round
swirling, whirling, spiraling, twirling, crawling, clawing, crying, singing, chanting, howling beings
Giving voice
Visiting, welcoming, pushing through, dancing around
Inviting, challenging, poking through, emerging, daring to show themselves, finally free
Pulsating with the drum beat (creating their own heartbeat),
creating rhythms, weaving together, separating, joining again
Becoming same, becoming different, changing shapes
Voices freed from shapes, shapes freed from voices.
Beginnings of journeys, endings of journeys, births and deaths.
Entering and leaving, discovering, uncovering and burying.
Recognition and surprises.
The opening to the underworld pushed fully open
The view of the upperworld in plain sight
Communing with each other and with self
Communing with this reality, this space and the spaces beyond.
Holding self and each other in this and other worlds.
Leaving judgement and definitions to evaporate into the swirling, to make space to hold the whole.
Walking back up the ladder, reshaped, reboned, revoiced, remade or...
as the one and the other.
