an oblation - Lorene Allen

[Larry Robinson]

an oblation

hanging by a thread
a silk purse from a pig's ear
the sage counts money
failing to ask the question
brings the worlds to its scared knees

the sacred shattered
by deep cuts to the fabric 
of natural rhythms  
even the cosmos tainted
by musk's string of jewels

with a nimble thrust
I cast my net toward unknown
realms of potency
longing for confluence
of future-past in our now

spark the surrender
of devoted acceptance 
where ego passes 
itself into this moment  
where trust is an active force
