Sisters Grimm

I’m an arctic she wolf,
Sworn to protect,
Big Green Walking Boots.
The simpleton,
The holy innocent.

He’s nowhere near as smart,
As his sister,
Little Red Riding Hood.

Big Green’s in danger,
From my twin,
The evil one.
He devoured their grandmother.
And the woodsman never caught him.

(Little Red escaped without anyone’s help.
Brothers Grimm told the version that suited men.)

Don’t be fooled by my silky white coat,
My teeth are as sharp,
My jaws as strong.

My womb-mate can see in the dark,
Through his nostrils:
Warm blood,
And the rank armpits of fear.

Rub snow on my fur,
And it glows:
Dispelling darkness,
Of night and souls.

I roll in holy crystal drifts,
As lesser canines,
Roll in s**t perfume.
And I’m ready.

He knows I’m coming,
Smelling my roaring heart’s cargo,
But not my fear -
I have none.

When I tear his carotid arteries from him,
His luminous red,
Jet, jet, jetting,
Melting the snow where it lands…

Will I die too?

The Script in my Soul.

In this epic play,
So many characters:

Sunny sovereign,
Warrior,
Shopkeeper,
And street sweeper.

In the final scenes,
A weary and wounded band of gypsies inside me,
Yearning for lost Paradise.

Thirty-five years ago,
A meditation and drama teacher visited my school.

He was radiant in white coveralls,
And shook hands like a holy prince.

He guided a little group of us in a meditation,
To our better world.

I was touched,
And followed the path he showed me,
Into a whole new life.

Since then,
All the bare-knuckle boxers,
Streetwalkers,
Orphans,
Widows,
Hunchbacks,
And thieves,
Inside me,
Have been coming back home.

And by the grace of Creator and Creation,
They’re welcome.

*I am a poet*

A smoke detector,

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

I will make you stop what you’re doing,

Till you run,

Or flap a tea towel at me,

My job done.

*I am a poet*

A submarine,

BOOP. BOOP. BOOP. BOOP.

Mapping the ocean floor — the collective unconscious — reading the echoes.

*I am a poet*

A caged canary in a coal mine,

CHEEP. CHEEP. CHEEP. CHEEP.

Living yellow amidst the black of fossilised sunlight,

Here because the most helpful thing I can do,

Is to die first.

And until that moment,

I will sing.

Hi Friends,

Tomorrow at 5am Sydney time, I'm the feature speaker on an international, 12 step recovery Zoom. For those of you in the US, it's at a more civilised hour - Friday, January 19, 2024 at 1:00 pm eastern time. I'll be sharing 25 min of my spoken-word poetry about addiction and emotional recovery, entitled "Rebuilding from the Rubble".

Here's the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83106239501?pwd=MlVmcDZaRTNMaWoyMEx0Ymtub2MwZz09

Speaker Bio:

Andy T had a spiritual awakening (as a result of discovering meditation) 34 years ago. It enabled him to put down alcohol and other drugs. However he had some behavioural addictions and a mood disorder that progressed up till he joined 12-Step recovery 15 years ago. Andy's now a self-employed counsellor and continues to participate in 12 Step peer-support groups.

Here's one of the poems I'll be sharing tomorrow:

*When the Wars are All Over.*

Today I heard about a woman’s aunt.
Auntie Elena (aged 8) saw her big brother shot dead,
As he handed her onto the boat,
To escape from the war,
That was ricocheting around their heads.

How does anyone live with that?
Where does the pain go?
It trickles down generations,
Turning children’s and grandchildren’s homes,
Into deserts,
Bereft of love.

And still all of us,
One way or another,
Through one script or another,
Trudge on,
Carrying our wounded hearts,
Our shaking hands,
Our glazed eyes,
Into tomorrow.

Carl Jung said that every soul,
Reaches for wholeness,
As instinctively as an acorn,
Reaches for oakness.

Love,
You are the sun to my acorn,
You are the warmth that draws trauma’s poison,
Out of my veins,
Distilling it into compassion.

Hearing these stories,
I now know that my pain doesn’t separate me from humanity,
It joins me to it.

And when the wars are all over,
Inside and out,
We will come home to you.
