Our collective ritual

by Kashiana Singh

Invitation to my nectar, I give in ritual
You flow with secrets of my belly
You spin inside my chambers
You are a sound to my vacuum
Moaning I release, your absence
You are my deepest love, bleeding
I dance, as you flow full into the earth
Creating an echoing voice, of fertility
Goddess healing deep within her womb
You return to me, my virility in healing
A reclamation of the cosmos to my womb
You flow confessional, my muscles reclaim
As they constrict and contract, shredding
Life as it pulses its way, cyclical
You flow in rich flourish, I restore, reclaim
My warmth now a place of authentic lyrics
Unleashed, received at my feminine altar
A collective ritual, purging our spirits
Of restrictive blocking, bringing alive
Our sacred, rejecting disharmony

Discarding rituals of limitations
Our collective blessing, journey with the moon
