The Goddess Amaterasu in the Land of the Rising Sun

Enlightenment: man is puppet-bound
and wound, the pulsing shadows
burning in the cavernous womb.

But mother was outside-in once:
rising and rising and being raised,
the sun falls after the peak.

Those who make the journey back
balance stones they hope
the earth's rocking won't disturb.
