When my mane is a bob and my bob is a mane, I long for my dress, and my dress sheds rays. When the stars look down and shine in colors, Reminding us that we had antlers, I know, I’m more than only me. I’m people, I’m colors, I’m dust in disguise, I’m fluids, walking […]
A ball in the belly. A ball of stone. Heavy and rocky, set in my bones. I wish for closure, to find my amends. The weight can’t be lifted Clenches and stands Shake it off, girl Murmur with me Old skin sits tight and snakes are my gift. Love, grant me one thing The passage […]
The earth is old. Fractured skin. Broken bones. Splashing streams. Roaring winds. Press the hands down, on your knees. Do you feel the weight of time? Created as bodies, we murmur and throb. Knuckles and knots beaver away. And still, rivers are splurging with foams of the gods. Fluid and stone, resilient as one. The […]
A number. A rumor. A shining thing. It reflects time back and is not gold. It holds its children in silver ties. Collects white pearls on rainy days. It covers itself in the dark of the sky. Illuminates paths for night walkers. O mother, your many forms lighten my chest. I wonder, always wonder, how […]
The traveler is called to move. What breath rendered your sail? Seeker, what are you searching for? I’ve come to traverse, to walk across lands, barren and lush, over mountains, overseas, use my feet, trot and flee, move from tree to tree, from village to village. I came here to see. Traveler, what makes your […]
I’m slowly fading away, getting transparent, translucent, unseen. One step, two steps, my feet hover. Traces blow in grains of sand. A narrow path ahead leads me through thick forests. The bodies of full-flesh greens, the bugs, and the bees, swallow me, into the nothingness. A plea. My hands, those of ghosts, My head, of […]
A calling from the North. A shiver round the waist. Warmth in the chest. A cloaked back in the forests, forging the path ahead. Always forward. The center calls. Listen to us, we may play a debt. You may die. You may find the spring of life. The spine is spinning around itself. The north […]
A balloon, that is too big. It is tense and taut. No wrong movement. It will explode. Once it explodes, air floats out. Not so concerning. Maybe. But the sound is. I know the sound. It is a naked, dumb, yet piercing Tkash! I know the sound. It is high, very quick, short. It begins […]
Freedom is not just the next prison waiting for us. Freedom is freedom. A horse rides wild. Tamed horses’ bones carry stories of their fathers. The old ones, those who galloped in velds. Tame a horse, and it may add to your garment’s elegant touch. Let it free and you’ll glow in grace. Even some […]
A golden light of soothe touched my body. I move. My jaw, loose, Soft pillars. Trickling down from nose to bottom. I wonder if She let it shine. Wondrous beings my body contains. Some long for joint forces, some separate. In depths of sleep’s last drops, a cold arose Woke me up. A mild cold […]
My heart ponders, in a tight basket. Where my heart ponders, it is cold and tight. It was left outside. The door was shot. Out of fear of the depth. Deep waters are muddy, maybe. Afraid of ancient Mesopotamian entities, hands draw back. Muddy waters. A risk, for those, who are clean. I was searching […]
Doing surgery on your mind is like doing surgery on the person who is doing surgery on your brain. In the aftermath, we will feel fuzzy, dizzy, lazy, jaded. Bird’s twittered melodies float into brain waves. Exhausted, they say, my child, you are. We’ll keep peeping, holding the main communications structures in the air. Your […]
The longest day, today, and I am fed with angel dust. The sun’s rays travel beyond the back. Beyond poppy-painted hills. Clouds, lily and violet. Ambrose arises pinkish in the translucent sky. Here I am and here I will be. Whether you see me. Whether your hips raise. Whether your feet gallop the horizon. Here […]
Horses on meadows. Riding on feathers. May I grow out from the flowers, that coiled me in a runner bean. I spiral my way up. My hair awry, as I drag down. You, who wish to run with the foals, Remember, the rhythmical swaying of the runner’s hair. It’s swift, it’s air fed. Its draft […]
Moments of fear make the world shrink. The vastness, the plenty, the inexhaustible, fade into a blur of yonder. And on this side remains only a wall. One wall that seems too thick, too high. There are gaps between the bricks, though, emitting hope that the arms may be strong enough to box the fists […]
Trust. Mislead we were once. Twice, ten times… far too often. Trust, that every encounter is as tied to their experiences as yours. And yet, Bewildered ancient women dance the havoc, Not trusting their sense. Too often betrayed. Their choice of ties remain with the untrustworthy. The familiar cords. Reassurance is a risk. They write […]
I pour You clear waters to the West. Washed by the channels. Clear and pure waters. Array a safe closed door to the netherworlds. Thy waters shall stay beyond the threshold. My waters shall pour in from the living springs.
Who am I a mother of, as a mother with no children? A mother of ghosts? Voices? Body organs? Frictions of the psyche? Of god, the past, the future? Of assembled impressions of my embodiment? Whose mother are you when you are a mother without having a child? What is in that deep well? What […]
The warriors call far from the north. They shape into their surroundings. Breathe in their spirit. The spirit of the woods, the trees, the mosses, the flea, the twigs, the foxes, the wolves, the lynxes, the owls, the crows, the boars, the bears. Particles disintegrate and fuse into the cellular structures of the roaring warriors. […]
My throat is dry. Birds left twigs on my collarbone. It rings from down up. Can you hear the spiral? Echo from far down the well. Fades up into the sky. Father, o tell me your wishes, they are going to while.
