Clorvoran Lingamus

from Eros in the Natural World by Kouns & Weaver

/

lyrics

Wowee, would you look at this? What a rare and marvelous find we’ve stumbled upon! The winged creature perched with such noble bearing on the branch of an ancient elm tree is none other than the Clorvoran lingamus, more commonly referred to as the Cupidian Westbill. The most fascinating characteristic that this scarce avian being possesses is its highly unique and complex mating ritual. The male of the species carves a Yoni, an ancient Sanskrit symbol that represents sacred feminine energy, into the bark of a tree to attract a lively mate. What follows is a ritual that nearly perfectly models the Yonilinga mudra, a tantric hand gesture meant to portray a sacred union of the two genital organs that have united to attain a higher knowledge of ultimate reality. To achieve this profoundly intricate pose, the mates are required to dislocate tiny bones in their wings so that they can enfold one another more perfectly and draw ever closer to their lover. Ultimately they become indistinguishable one from the other in their ballet of lithesome rutting and call to mind a passage from William Everson: “The vast flush possesses them. The Many are no more. This, the great Cloud, erasing distinction.” If we split the wood and find Divinity everywhere, as Christ suggests in the Gospel of Thomas, what does this lovely ritual tell us about how to approach our own sexuality, I wonder?
