Two white bears making love

Oh my love

my white bear love

oh my love

my bear lover love

oh my love

you call me at dawn my love

giggling my lover

happy I am here my love

and you sing to me

"oh my sweet love

meet me near the sacred land my love

at the Safeway

buy food for baby

and bring the bears"

oh my love

and I closed my eyes my love

and saw the ritual

two white bears

making love

a black jeweled snake

biting each one

three times

oh my lover I did

and I took the medicine wheel

and the bears

and the drum

and my camera

and drove off at dawn my love

to do ritual

oh my love

I had forgotten

that to be with you

is to do ritual

to meet you

is to pack up medicine wheels

to bring bears

to see visions great

and here we were again

without meaning to

without planning

she was taking us to the next step my love

she was

oh my love

and on the sacred land my love

a river flowed

it was wet

and dense

we left the car

so it wouldn't get stuck

and put our gear on a luggage pulley

and walked across the meadow

oh my love

an ancient spirit family

walked far

you pregnant with babies

the oldest one carrying another

me dragging our ritual art over my back

walking the way of the ancient ones

and we reached the great tree

and set out a blanket

with a bear on each side

and put the medicine wheel

up in the tree high

and covered the buffalo shit

with the pulley

and said prayers my love

and the owl shaman

sung to us

"oh my children lovers

welcome to the oasis

be at home here

do your ritual bidding

bring back the bears my lovers

do"

and you put on the she bear my love

and I put on the he bear

and you went on all fours

and you put your haunches up

in the wind my love

and I smelled you

and saw your wetness before me

and I licked you from below and you put your head down

and your backside up

and I licked you all over

oh my lover we did

and you turned my love

and put me inside of you

and as my bear

I rose

and came into you from everywhere

as every bear my love

and we made love

and I sat you up my love

and sat behind you my lover

and we held the fetish

of the two white bears making love

and rubbed her

and prayed to her

"oh my spirit lover

thank you for the dream my love

thank you for the visions my love

thank you for choosing us my love

thank you for letting us be the bear lovers

thank you for taking us into your vision my love

thank you for embodying us

as the two white bear lovers

may we bring back the bears my love

may we heal the earth my love"

and I put myself up into you

as you sat before me

and we were forever

and she sung to us

"oh my children lovers

oh my ancient white bear lovers

this is the ancient ritual

of the sitting white bears

making love

it has been done

forever my children lovers

for all times my spirit lovers

as long as it is done

the world will live

as long as it is done

all will be well

you have put yourselves in her pose

you have become the two sitting white bear lovers my babies

for a million years you have done this

a billion times you have been them

in the million year yoga

I put you in this position

so you could do this easily

and now

you are enacting this ritual again

oh my children lovers

you do it to heal the universe

oh my babies

you do

thank you for this ritual my children lovers

thank you for my life"

oh my love

and you moved on me

you went up and down

and I moved under you

and they made love

above us below us

around us inside us

we were them

and they were us my love

and the sitting white bear loving was on earth

and we sighed

and called out spirit lover

I love you

and screamed

and sung

and we exploded everywhere

and became owls

and flew to her heart

and as owl bears

were only her baby

oh my lover

we were

and I licked the love

dripping from your vagina

salty and strong in the hot moist air

the buffalo shit smelled around us

the earth shone

she loved it

and we stood up my lover

and you sung to me

"oh my love

go to the owl shaman my love

naked as your bear

and talk to him

and I will be here as my bear

naked too

and we will bring in the light my love

we do"

and I walked to him

across the flowers and shit

and put my hand and claws upwards

and you stood a universe away

at the foot of the ceremonial tree my love

and you raised you hands your claws my love

and the light came to earth

and I saw into your center

the shimmering empty light

of open time

of her birth

as far as I could see

and you wavered and disappeared my love

and I was deep

and I flew into you

into her

and vibrated

as pure white light of creation

and joy

and tried to hang in there

as I popped back and forth my love

and you saw me as a bear

turn into an owl and fly off

and we were her vision on earth my lover

we were

oh my love

and I walked back

and we kissed

and he thanked us for the ritual my love

"oh my children lovers

thank you for doing the sitting white bear lovers

thank you for this ritual

it is the first time it has been done here for ages

it is the healing you know

thank you for its presence on earth again

thank you"

and we took our gear my love

and fed the baby my lover

and walked the path

of the ancient ones again my love

and dragged the gear

and carried the babies

and found the car

and sat near it

you within a circle of fairy mushrooms

and the owl feather that covers

her mound

and kissed

and watched the baby play

and a white egret landed

and we laughed

and were deep

and were who we are

oh my lover

we did.
