Opening Moves
(learning each other’s dances)

 

Temple within temple I welcome you

Temple within temple we cast the protections

We turn

We turn

We spin

Writhing tentacles, writhing beasts

Opening under the hallowed words

Welcomed under the temple’s eye

 

How does one reflect back

Two days three nights work

In words where you are there lapping at my thigh?

 

I hand you my key

I bind blood to blood, thigh to thigh

We drink deep

Words flowing like the water you are

We drink deep

Eye to eye and heart to heart

Welcomed under the temple’s eye

 

Let us dance back

Two days three nights work

With our works there lapping at my thigh

 

Measure me by weights and scales

Measure me by my deeds and capacity

Measure me as we drink deep and measure again

Welcomed under the temple’s eye

 

Open me wide

Open me wider

Open me up

Open

We glimpse into the water

And know how to dance
