The Ceremony

The day you wore your Tuesday overalls

Salamanders wiggled in and out of your pockets

Oshkosh bygosh, innocence for the dessert of the day

And today you stand

In your favorite lacy white, the delicate breath of you

In your jean jacket, your forever tomboy spice

In your red cowgirl boots, pattering to your pulse

In your knowing

That you are the moon’s luster

In the lives of many

And in the seeds of your own art

Wings spread wide over the world

Silver ribbons connecting you, sky and earth

Dangling damsel, who tickles the elements

In the gaze of the candlelight

And salsas the solo flare of the Now

Mother to all, daughter to herself

Tomorrow’s overalls will do just fine as well
