BELTANE or MAY DAY


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.
