Times Up


Psychic gestation stands at the window, gazing at its reflection, and what lies beyond it, a reflection of pregnant paradox, imbued with eternal impermanence. Those unscathed eyes, a map of the lost lands, scorched by faded cartography, worn away by the winds of ascension.

And beyond the glass, you can stand there and see it, a river descending a spiral staircase, whose spine carries a spark of intention, up to the council of nines, a great gathering of months, years, days, the neurulas of time, the grand minds unformed, held secure in the womb of the subconscious abyss.
This has been growing in you, and yet at the same time it is slipping through your fingers, pried from your clutching hands, collecting a symphony of perfect dust, mattering more and more until there is no other door fragment left to open, accept the one that leads to becoming. You have anticipated it, you have heard the ultimatum of astral labor, the reverberating, crystalline sound of something that is going to come out, piercing the aurora veil, crossing over from death, into blood, and finally into life, whether you’re ready or not, so choose to be ready. Times up.

Hurry now to the end of this dimly lit corridor, where stands a doorway in diminishment, held by a threshold of wasted multitudes. Your door and theirs now blurred together with tears that vibrate to the rhythm of a different story, a violet plot twist, a sacred flame narrative. As you pull yourself up from the grave of another, unwriting yourself from the page of that book, look back down up the bound minds, abrasively asleep, lost in a dream of unrest, and bless them with your spell of wildness, that they may soon enough carry the weight of their own visions.

Then walk free as silver, free as violent tongues speaking to life a tribe of shifting shadows, encamped in a tunnel of light. Place a mask over the pit, Ye wary fiend, Ye Luminist, who stood on the brink of hell and stared a while, pondering his journey. Staring up into a tunnel going straight up, like the redwoods, into the next light, sending your thought energy up into space, to create for yourself new expansion space, an assimilation of new history. Where then is the time you so feverishly seek? Time is Up.

Let your moment of waking be carried aloft in the sky, a dry leaf, a cracked seed in the air, gone to rejoin the bird tribe, the tribe of what song is to become, the tribe of things that have not been, yet always were; Everlasting, Anon, and Ever Else.
 Now awoken by the polar winds, from deep within, a primal chant that verifies the intention for renewal and reunion, and an end to the continuation of learning and loving through loss and limitation. That cycle is no longer relevant. And it knows it. It screams for release, trapped in a throat chakra that never learned to do the only thing it was meant to for: to open, to release, to scream golden pins and needles, to confront, to enchant, to live.

A sound that draws out surviving dreams from their bolt holes. Gather these refugees of dreaming. Lead them fast into the future with the two great forerunners. Air: music, blue voice, skies of vision, and infinite purpose.  Water: story, song, flow, ease in creation, purification of mind, a sober trance, forging a rhythmic path, pounding a glowing timeline into a clock that serves you: the great gatherers of primal parts, the shattered pieces that defy further severing, the last ones to die, screaming themselves back together, because they can, because they know their time is up.


“Into this wild Abyss/ The womb of Nature, and perhaps her grave--/ Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,/ But all these in their pregnant causes mixed/ Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,/ Unless the Almighty Maker them ordain/ His dark materials to create more worlds,--/ Into this wild Abyss the wary Fiend/ Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,/ Pondering his voyage; for no narrow frith/ He had to cross. ” - John Milton
