Today , this day today
this still life of mine astray
a table trance of bowl and knife
the China cup with teabag edging
its water lucid yesterday
a roque rolling wave
from Kamaloas lost sea
where fish swarm from arched waters warm
abound the ancient valley with royal bodies furious .
hovering tween the terrible turmoil
birds circling with no control
a flying machine about to fall injurious .
my mind breaking its shell
a feather drops from the wind
this lush valley to live in .
the lover kissing my neck a holy shiver
over the face of creations water , the place God knows
Behold the mark of archangel Raziel .
Do you know how old the wind is
five hundred thousand years long so curious .
come upstairs with me my love
to the golden wall where a door now stands whether
it did not before , you should know
the place is holy close to Jehovah’s body .
Come upstairs with me , my love
to find my scarve for I hear
the beginning chant and I’m afraid , I fear
to be alone in this still life of mine
a sliced silhouette , a redemption sign
today , this day today .

“I fear to be alone in this still life of mine” – the immensity of existence is intimidating, if we really look at it. Beautiful words, as usual, Meg. Have blossoms appeared in your woods yet?

This writing is intoxicating, Meg. It changes the parameters of my sensing. One minute the day is close, begging to be understood and processed. The next, I am standing at the door to a Great Beyond, flipping an access card, wondering if I dare to cross the threshold… You are able to cast your heart’s imagination into deep and wonderful pools of image and meaning.
(what Hariod said about the cottage, basically… đ )
Have a great trip to Amsterdam!
