hill of Tara
out under the solstice stars
people gather to make sense
of it all on a sacred hill
5000 years ago
and
we've been
doing that ever since
midline the muscle extends across
the bone and bends the body flexing
come to talk and bare our
selves and convince of common
experience a sacred bond forms
around a place
of
higher ground
and kindred spirits
as the body moves all
contiguous pieces
move as a working team seamless
people gather to understand
things the higher vantage of
this hill clears air and senses
then as now
gathered
on slopes
we find each other
on the way up the being
is the sum
of its parts and much more
unseen
(Note: hill of Tara: political and spiritual capital of
ancient Ireland)
