Hobo Jungle - Ruth Boerger

Beach Drumming

Winter solstice ritual
honors change
entry to the Underground
encountering demons
of the night
of the year

Night has arrived
Wrestle demons of lies
half-truths

Face Truth full on
so you know what she
looks like
how she feels when
she touches you
Get familiar

False hood
wears many disguises
fancy glasses of Distraction
even the cloak of Kindness
Envy and Anger have their masks
appear to be Truth
use her to create lies

Beach drumming mesmerizes
entrances
honors winter
entry to the Underground
encountering demons
