our body is the visible
part
of the invisible
breath

our breath the known
part
of the unknown infinity

inhale the radiant Alchemist unseen
in the snaking story of spine

exhale anima and starflowers
upon the horizontal axis of now

hold our breath and
with one act make golden
the cauldron of our unity

so invisible or visible
we can perform

the
Great Work
