From Night into Light,
First dress of Dawn-Usha is gray,
and necklace ecliptic fades
through Violet into Rose and Blue.

*

From Light into Night,
Last dress is through Rose
into Violet and Black.

*

Dawn-Usha may be seen Twice a Day,
through the time of transition
between Blue and Black.
Count eight Earth solar years
for five synodic revolutions of
Venus-Quetzalcoatl to pass:
Two thousand Nine Hundred Twenty days.

*

*

Through the time of the Nine Lords of Night,
Follow the story told through the necklace ecliptic.
Dawn-Usha returns from the River of Night,
bringing color to the sky,
for the Thirteen Lords of Light.

*

Dawn-Usha encircles our sphere
from North to South,
with the eternal Ring
between the Lords of Night
and the Lords of Light.

*

Never forget to follow Dawn-Usha
on either side of today and tonight,
at the interface.
Each is One, and each is divided,
Lord of Light by thirteen - Lord of Night by Nine.
River the Wind - VAYU
breathes
through every signifier of Time.

*

*

Through One circle Round
from North pole to South,
The Lords give utterance to Truth
Within their respective domains,
the Dome of Blue and the Dome of Black.

*

Dawn-Usha marks the transition between
the Circle of the Lords of Light
and the Circle of the Lords of Night.

*

Wo-Man story has drawn
from the Myth of Origin
One Line between Ollin and Oceanus,
Singing the Tales of the Wanderers
in Transit through Rose Violet.

*

*

The Tribes of the Culture
of the Rock and the Star
may look over Horizon
at Twice-a-Day-Dawn.

*

We may Listen and Speak
with one another
at Twice-a-Day-Dawn.

*

This geometric Symbol of Movement
at the heart of the Aztec calendar stone,
is for We on our planet
Who follow the order of Listen and Speak.

*
This symbol,
composed of this pair of intersecting rectangles
at the geometric Heart of the Aztec calendar stone,
embedded within the Aztec culture,
carries a Truth
for the Tribes of the Earth
who follow
the Culture of the Rock and the Star.

*

*
The light of Day has one Name.
The dark of Night has another Name.
The cycle of day names is thirteen.
The cycle of night names is nine.
The day and night together have a single name
which goes through a cycle of twenty.

*

The hour is Twice-a-Day-Dawn,
When We who follow
the Order of Listen and Speak,
When We who know Surya
as the source of Our Life on Earth,
and Who see the River the Wind
as the blood of Our Heart,
May gather.

*

The passage
from descending evening star
to ascending morning star,
may mark the first day for the 584 day
synodic revolution of Venus-Quetzalcoatl.

*

Five such synodic periods are complete
within an eight Earth solar year cycle
of two thousand-nine-hundred-twenty days.
Two days of leap year time
are necessary for synchronization.

*

*

The Hawk is perched
on top of a steel lamp-post,
in the morning,
watching the sunrise,
having come to rest
in the forest of steel lamp-posts
growing out of the pavement
of the black-top pit.


*

The fire has been squeezed out of the Rock.
Life crystal hangs by a thread from the cloud.
Life crystal hanging from the cloud
is the color of Our blood.

*

*

Razor sharp blade falls into the crystal.
The fire burns hot
within the crystal raindrop.
The Green texture interface
between water and air,
Passes through Blue Sky
within the Ultra-Violet shield.
Watch the interface of Blue Sky
between water and the Ultra-Violet Lace.
Razor-sharp crystal drop-let falls from the cloud.

*

Her-by-the-Lake
now lives in the Black-top pit.
She sparkles sky-scrapper be-jeweled
under the Sunlight,
while her Groundwater bathes
in additives and isotopes.

*

Follow the sailing ship
across the ocean of Sky.

*

*

The Continent of OCEANUS
-Europa-Asia-Africa-
is brought to a Nexus in the Levant,
on the Eastern seaboard of the Mediterranean.
From Egypt through Anatolia to Athens
is the home of the birth of
Oceanus-Africa, Oceanus-Asia, Oceanus-Europa.

*

The House of Ollin has two rooms,
the window between which
is the Aztec calendar stone,
and the story told through the necklace ecliptic
through which the planets wander.

*

The circle of navigation in the Pacific
is from Guatemala to Peru to Rapa Nui,
through the South Sea Islands and the Gates of Tonga
to the Indo-Australian archipelago to China and Japan.

*

From the Eastern seaboard of Oceanus-Asia,
now journey by current
past Sakhalin and Kamchatka,
past the Aleutian archipelago
and the southern lands of Inuit.

*

Follow the shore-line
between mountain chain and Sea,
past the Cities of Light of North-Ollin.
Return to the jungle and mountain of the Isthmus
and window between North-Ollin and Ollin-South.

*

*

One Cloud belt of vegetation caresses the Desert
circling the globe around the latitudes of Equator.
Another cloud belt of vegetation caresses the Desert
around the temperate latitudes of the North.
That is all there is: two circ-lets of Life
on the Continental Desert of the watery planet.

*

The only two places in the Desert
where the flower grows
is within these two Ankh-lets.

*

The Defoilation of the two Ankh-lets
begins with Fire-in-the-Rain.

*

From Light of Dawn at Even-time,
Listen and Speak through
the Time of the River of Night
to the Time of Dawn returns
to bring a New Day.

*

*

Listen to storm's thunder pass
Through raining gray cloud mass.
Lightning flashes through the cloud,
Rolling thunder and mist.
Rain falls heavy
on the black-top-pit.

*

Through the window,
keeping close watch
over the movements of Surya,
Luna, and the Wanderers,
Here in the Temple of Silence.
Return our sight to Dawn's glow,
between Blackness and the Blue Light.

*
