Pragmatic

I'm thinking of taking
ayahuasca
again
but this old house
is haunted
and all the unfulfilled
dreams of tired,
lonely ghosts
await in ambush
ready to strike
at any moment

eternal goddess
please give my worthless
soul
the
courage and strength
to go
beyond
the terminal,
blind acceptance
of mankind
she never answered,
but painted
in reverent
deep ochre
across my pupils,
I read
curse the traitor
and
enemy of
sacred wisdom...
