Fantastic image of a shaman, arms outstretched looking up. “Avatar” like figure surrounded by indigo coloured crystals and violet shapes, dark background.

thought shamans suck darkness
universal aquifer
of unspoken history
stipule geopolitics

corpuscles of molasses
cat stretch
face a pale insipid sun

spike cracked ice
osier stolons
tunnel desert burrows
glacier pace of neurons
ganglia of what kills

kerosene lamp wick
flickering whips of light
wide
night-filled eyes

Persephone’s emeralds
drip distilled through sand
heated Europan sky
what lies beneath a
frozen fractal sea

star shine geometry
Saturn’s tiara
far in the distance

in governance of pedipalps
negotiated fluids combine
silken weavers writing
orbs form
between tree species
backed against the dawn
pink and black poetry
cuneiform…

Write Under the Moon

Hi, like many writers I work from a constantly shifting, evolving, emotional vortex, a nebula of reason and unreason, orbiting something like intuition.
