  • mumbling

    the roads all fade
    in the rearview
    giant painted snakes
    a mumbling past
    ghosting away

  • taiga 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 away

  • relations

    raven circles overhead
    welcoming me to
    their home by the ocean
    bringing all our relations

  • the 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 home

    Disclosure: My use of those tools most often associated with divination are largely as randomized writing prompts, often with the intent of personal alchemy. They are not intended to be representative of traditional divinatory practice. My personal interpretations (and methods) will likely not agree with those found in popular culture.

  • turning away

    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 away
