November 23: Grandmotherly Kindness

 Mother Nature is also 

Maiden and Crone,

the potential for all things,

and herself alone.

There is twilight wisdom 

under the great moon

amid the falling leaves,

when she fucks off

by herself to do as she pleases

and deals with her salty 

kindred and their

civilized diseases

with corrective dispatch.

She will catch you as you fall

but snatch your ears 

for you and your edges, too. 

She is closer to heaven and

its counterpart and has learned the art

of the Holy Headslap.

She bites not to be mean

but to teach you what teeth are

for. And what's more

what sharp teeth she has! 

You will face death in many forms 

before you eventually pass,

but if she can help it, not

disgrace, because she raised the ass

you mean to show. And if you know

you know, she has beaten it

only to give you leather

for the steel of the world.
