dias de los muertos

it is the day of the dead..
samhain..celtic new year..
the veil is thin,
space is filled with our ancestors..
we lean into the other side..it leans back..

the moon lights up hidden faces  ~
leaves rustle up the long past, trailing..
the threads, golden, luminous, dark..
weave the now into then and back again..

we carry our corpse with us 24/7
bowing to the bone,
the crack and cranny~
who lives?
who dies?

tell me - tell me..
then take my hand
and dance with me, baby!
