PSYCHE
TO
Mother Earth.
BY
FRANCES ROSE MACKINLEY.
ARTH, my BELOVED MOTHER !
Prone upon you I prostrate myself;
I imprint you with earnest kisses ;
With awful wonder, I love, revere,
adore you.
How beholden am I to your spirit,
That you enable me to apprehend your entity ;
You, so near, so familiar to me ;
That with my psychic vision clarified,
Looking lucidly through my physical eyes,
You empower me to recognize you ;
Presential, breathing, palpitating, living !
You, the concrete, primogenial source of life.
�PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
What delight to hear your mystic voice,
To catch with clairaudient sense the latency
Of your multisonous mobility,
Your myriad and varied tones
Reverberating musically in my ears !
What boundless satisfaction
To cognize the subjective analogies
Of your elemental language !
(I am one of your living ideographic words.)
What spontaneous delight
To be able to respond to you,
In all your diversified forms of expression,
To your repercussive intonations,
Or your mellifluous whisperings—
Mother, I understand !
flow beautiful you are, O mother !
Every day I gaze fascinated and enraptured
On your athletic, brunonian body,
Outstretched, nude and lethargic ;
Your legs, massive, plump, symmetrical ;
Your bosoms luxurious, redundant;
Your wistful, luscious face,
With pensive, languishing, hazel eyne.
Ever serenely, quiescently you repose,
Basking bewitchingly your bared charms
In the searching and amative regards
�3
PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
Of your transcendent lover, the Sun.
How resplendently your flesh glistens,
Bathed in the dazzling scintillations
Of his sensuous, magnetic presence !
The beauty of your sons and daughters
Is but a faint similitude
Of your immaculate loveliness.
How loving you are, O mother !
My present existence and daily continuance
Manifest your provident love ;
That you will take this wondrous body
You
have
lent
my
spirit,
to
your
warm
embrace,
To more intimately assimilate its particles,
What evincement of love !
That you have oft incarnated my spirit,
And with, love sent me forth from you,
And, with as great love, recalled
My material personality to your bosom,
To be fondled and afterward resent,
What supereminent proofs of love !
I have noted you, endeared mother !
In daily coition with your lover, the Sun.
I have watched his gorgeous masculinity,
K
In lustful intermutation with you ;
!........... ——---------------------
�//.
PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
Embalming you in the luminous beams
Of his effulgent thermodic halo.
How much you seemed to glory,
To exult and revel in his caress !
I glory with you in your delectation,
And in the good he imparts to you.
Without his embrace, you would perish,
Even as I, your daughter, would expire
Without the contactual suscitation of my lovers.
I have seen you also, O wanton mother!
Surfeited of your lover’s dalliance,
Antagonistic, repellant of his desire.
O I too have been satiated
With the aphrodisaic carnality
Of my Priapian paramours !
From gentle encounters with you,
And tempered orgasms in your embrace,
I have seen his passion rousing
Into glowing and rampant salacity ;
Till he impended over you exacerbated
To the very ultimity of heat.
I have seen you shrinkingly recoil,
When his vehement afilation,
Simoon-like, effumed upon you,
And his rapacious arms,
Ignifluous annulars,
Compressed you impactly
�PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
5
To his lascivient and candescent body;
Whilst into your womb he extruded
.His ebullient, geyser-jet semen.
You were feverous, chafed, wincing, aglow ;
Torrified by his scortatory passion.
I deemed that you must expire ; '
And should your vitality cease, O mother !
How could your children survive !
One day, in the sultry month of July,
As I reclined on your hot breast,
Murmuring words of condolence
To you, poor suffering mother !
We were startled
by thundering
rumblings
in the West.
Looking thitherward, I descried
Huge cumuli overtopping the horizon.
Instantaneously you exclaimed :
“ O rejoice with me, my children !
“ He comes, He, my redemptive lover,
“ He, for whom I have been sighing,
“ He, whom I now need for rescue,
“ He, who only can relieve me ! ”
Then, revealed to my wonderment,
I beheld your lover, awe-compelling,
Black, colossal, cyclopean, vast,
�6
PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
Stalking majestically in the heavens,
His terrific shadow overdarkening the skies,
And tenebrously enveloping you;
His frowning browns portentously lowering ;
His
gigantic
bulk equipendent
in
the
mid
welkin.
Inflated with generant vigor,
Dissilient with desire for you,
He fulmines thunderous lustful threats.
With foretaste of delight, O mother !
You trembled at his lecherous menaces,
And with upthrown arms,
Enrounding your retroverted head,
Anxious, impatient, eager,
You slightly disparted your thighs,
And gently upraised your abdomen,
In longing preparedness to receive him.
With thought exceeding instantaneity
His phallic lightning strokes
Reiteratedly penetrate your genetalia.
Negative, receptive mother !
As his invigorating love lymph
Emulged upon you in lavish profluence ;
Your eyes closed as in serene ectasy.
Your
countenance
exuberated
with
renewed
life,
Your quickened orbs ■ looked up lovingly,
�PSYCIIE TO MOTHER EARTH.
Every freshened pore responsively dilated,
Your lips tremulously articulated, thanks.
Love-sick, languishing, despairing,
I, your daughter, with trepid sighs,
Long for a reciprocal love mate,
Whose electric influence and embrace
.*
Will be to me, as was your savior to you,
Solace, reviviscence, ecstasy !
With wearied body, o’erspent and drooping,
Sore, wounded feet, swollen with travel,
From bootless chase of unattainableness,
I seek refuge in your maternity.
I clasp my arms around your neck.
Let me nestle my weighted head
Cosily ’twixt your lenitive mammoe !
In this delicious harborage,
Let me uninterruptedly repose ! J
Let me find there, long enduring rest ;
Till, through your kindly assuagement,
The perturbation within me is allayed !
Let me subside into sedative slumbers,
Calming to my insatiate heart;
To waken, comforted, composed, ductile,
7
�g
PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
Prompt to obey your dehortations,
Assured that to question your teachings,
Or ignore your prescient admonitions,
Must be to constantly return to you afflicted,
To abide in embroilment and inquietude !
Make me
Placid, compliant, resigned, passive,
As you are, O Infinite Parent !
Animate me with your own essentiality !
Are you thus,
Placid, compliant, resigned, passive,
Thus beatifically accordant with events ;
Since to you belongs the cognition
Of the mysterious purpose of all that is ?
O let me, thro’ your inspiration,
Attain some definite discernment
Of the subtle intent of existence ;
Some positive hint of certitude,
More than the discontinuous clairvoyance,
Whereby I glimpse scintillas of truth,
With ever intervenient periods
Of dubiety, and its consequent despondence !
Your sensuous, voluptuous breath
Respiring balmily over me,
Convulses
me with titillative tremors.
The semblance of lascivious abandon,
�PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
9
Ascendant in your mien and bearing,
Spells and ecstasizes my spirit.
The aroma of your wantonness
Materializes into living forms of beauty :
Vital, substantive, efflorescent virtues ;
Whence in turn exhales a quality
Gossamery, subtile, insinuative ;
An impalpable emication,
Invisible, but sensate to your children,
In irresistibly seductive allurements
To languor, desire, love, worship, coition.
O in this luscious magnetism—
The life incitement of your children—
Is there not revealed the aim of Being ?
O from this mystic adumbration,
Have I not apprehended the purport of ex
istence ?
Expand my soul, O mother !
To a lasciviousness akin to yours ;
That I also may give exoteric form
To the fullness of like voluptuousness,
And by a consummate shapeliness
Incite, as you do, love, worship, adoration !
Make me, as you are, bold, free, cosmopolite,
Accessible, nonchalant, unbosoming !
You, ever love environing your children,
�10
PSYCHE TO MOTHER EARTH.
Coulcl they but clairvoyantlv see you 1
Make me, as you are, communicant,
\
Outspoken, fluent, colloquial, eloquent !
Your voice, ever speaking to your children,
Could they but clairaudiently hear you !
Make me just, intrusive, assertive as you !
We,
children,
your
feel
this
fictile, plastic
force ;
This charactery, whereby you express yourself,
Acting within ourselves and about us,
To fashion the physical and metaphysical ;
But
how
few divine
in it, your immanent
presence !
Make me negative, receptive as you !
Because of these feminine attributes,
You are transcendently a divine mother.
Promiscuous, all-embracing, all-loving,
All-inclusive, universal mother !
Impress me with your catholicness,
That I may reimpress all humanity,
With such assimilative consciousness
Of the opulence and divinity of those attributes,
That your sons and daughters will all emulate
The similitude of you in me,
And with one ecumenic purpose, exclaim :
Let us strive to resemble our mother ! ”
