Poetry by Jana Astanov
astral shamanism
traveling to an ancient future
we get a heads-up from
cosmic angels
space telescopes and starlight
penetrating
planet-matter, unified consciousness
and the physical bodies
of each one of us
asking cosmic ancestors
and spirit guides of our lineage
to realign, to know
to remember and transmute,
alchemically, one’s shamanic self
hearing and becoming
knowing and transcending
the astral ancestral
birth gate
