For Calyx
Calyx sweet X, crossroads, meetingplace
in the heart of the valley,
Calyx chalice, cup, holygrail
of fierce brightness and fragrance,
Calyx of lazy lilies
full of bees with furry thighs,
vagrants, honey-drunks,
Calyx of fertile words,
holder of the sacred pollen:
on you today this blessing:
go south in beauty,
go east in beauty,
go north in beauty,
go west in beauty.
Be in the center in beauty.
Be a long time in beauty.
Ursula K.
Le Guin
