This year, is the year of the ” Fire Monkey” apparently. Monkeys like to play, and so here is a pantoum I wrote, called ” ODE TO CIMI” ( CIMI being a Mayan entity) in honor of monkeys ….and playing! ~ kmk
Ode to Chuen
Chuen, Blue Monkey,
Royal Trickster,
swing me to the playful path!
Free my magical child.
Royal Trickster,
what is so funny?
Free my magical child.
Put seriousness on the shelf.
What is so funny?
Laughter heals, as I
put seriousness on the shelf,
shifting perspective.
Laughter heals as
illusions are broken,
shifting perspective
to the comedy of life.
Illusions are broken.
Innocence bounces back.
To the comedy of life,
I wake!
Innocence bounces back.
Chuen, Blue Monkey,
I wake!
Swing me to the playful path!
