she forgot the sun
she forgot the sun
they all thought she was wilder
in the presence of wonder
unattainable .
he recites poems
running up and down hills
a blazing thunderbolt
outshouting the surf
sensational .
she forgot the other ones
they cannot hide
they are around the epicenter
a lever used to move the world
confrontational .
he is the hunter
catching light in his net
he is the Christ message
cosmic cathedrals
inspirational .
the lemur , I’m about to loose my mind
sharing common ancestry
sunworshipping , taboos revered
humanities song book
untraceable .
they see a second sun
a light around the equator
as the ring around Saturn
a diamond on her delicate finger
unmistakable .
she forgot the sun
she forgot the sun
he thinks of poems
everything real in its aromatic
reeking glory , the presence of her wonder
rotational , gravitational , insatiable .
life was staggeringly unpredictable
his map took her breath away
fate was swift , the verging sea
her skin could blindside anyone
wild in its sacred scent
the sun falls .

Your writing slows me down, Meg, and invites awareness of a deeper level of breathing that carries upon it the first. All the meetings you arrange take place outside of time, which makes them even more delicate and human in their unfolding than one expects. The collage of words, images, and colors remind me how profusely Love has enfolded itself into the world, and I thank you for that…
Love-
Michael

Beautiful poem Meg! Something about your poetry is so transcendent, so beautiful…
These lines,
“he is the hunter
catching light in his net
he is the Christ message
cosmic cathedrals
inspirational .”
and the photo below them, made me think of this poem I wrote once, and the Orion Hunter Constellation, and the 7 Sisters star-cluster, known as the Pleiades, that mythology says Orion pursued:
“An ax that daily grinds, the nose to the stone
Cut off to spite my face, to throw off the trace
Seeing pink elephants, spiders, some snakes
The latter of these fled, I escaped the wolves
Out of education books, no eyes’d ever spied
Only read instinctively, doggedly til dogeared
I turned a corner in life, into this Timberwolf’s
Hunting huntress love, to raise up some pups”
Job 9:9-12 was an inspiration,
“9 who made the Bear and Orion,
the Pleiades and the chambers of the south;
10 who does great things beyond searching out,
and marvelous things beyond number.
11 Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not;
he moves on, but I do not perceive him.
12 Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back?
Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’”
…in connection with 2 Peter 1:3-4,
“3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.”
Anyways, great post my friend! Take Luck!
