I watch the flame
twist up,
reaching,
moving,
licking.
So yang,
so phallic
The hearth fire,
is low and warm,
red and glowing,
inviting hands closer
for warmth.
So yin, so female.
At Beltane,
May 1st,
tradition was
you “jumped the fire”.
And men and women
joined their fire.
In celebration
of joy and pleasure.
In celebration of
another season of light.
In celebration of life
in these sweet bodies.
