under her folds
her hands
her rain
under her under
returns her rains
again
she follows rain
books upon books
entry upon entry
fusty future histories
after her storm
rain rain her rain

her rain
to mud
underwear sitting
naked skin taut and all
head weary in shivers
i don’t want the long time
i don’t want the rub
sitting in wait
for her ever
i give myself to mudmumbling
the roads all fade
in the rearview
giant painted snakes
a mumbling past
ghosting awaytaiga tempts
everywhere i turn
i see raven watching
roadsides, treetop
even at the store
overlooking children
of the first nations
’listen,’ they say
’look,’ they add
’there is a story
here needing telling’
the taiga tempts
blackened feathers fall
as they slip awayrelations
raven circles overhead
welcoming me to
their home by the ocean
bringing all our relationsthe cairns
The Cairns card from the “Oracle of the Morrigan” card deck here, the heroes
stand guard the pale
while at fives
while at nines
and under the sevens
unmoved by illusion
waiting in stillness
for those
who might find
their way homeDisclosure: My use of those tools most often associated with divination are largely as randomized writing prompts, often with the intent of personal alchemy.

turning away
Photo by pedram ahmadi on Unsplash like wild horses
before the storm
here comes the
turning away
we have heard all
those plots before and
i am caring less
what your gods
have to say
i unbind knots
that blind stained eyes
and give over to both
the bone and the stone
crashing down
like a waterfall
when comes the
turning awayhold me
Photo by Amirhossein Kianbakht on Pexels.com i slumber the under
with gut pull drag
forgetting all names
i am tired, so will you
hold me tonight?
and when i
stop making sense
growing fungal
to the loam
bury me inside and
hold me tonight
deadwood and memories
howling to driven
let the rain come
falling and just
hold me tonightthe badb
The Badb card from the “Oracle of the Morrigan” card deck we old crow frenzy
leaving trails of scarlet
trailing off in fresh fallen snow
standing tall of stone north
we are not your sacrifice
we are not your country
we are flint & steel
battle cry & cauldron
we stand of october
swinging blackthorn
without an ounce of fearDisclosure: My use of those tools most often associated with divination are largely as randomized writing prompts, often with the intent of personal alchemy.

Photo by Kaleb Brown on Unsplash to fall out of lifetime
into dream embraces
and forget an outside
imagine
careful, clouds
glide against ever blue
falling up into the you
imagine
lost roads in drift
over the hills and
far away, a heaven to
imagine
