Meander Fiadhiglas
Milky Way. Meteors. Socorro recalled.
Memory and Matter.
Sarasvati ~ river & goddess of art, literature.
Cottonwoods.
Ereshkigal encounters Inanna.
Red spiderweb.
Destiny glimmers through the trees.
Peacock seeps. Pools appear.
Spills.
A season of drought.
Change, movement, meta–
Replenishing the process of storytelling.
Egg, old name offered. Be a river.
Enter a void . . . of the unwritten.
Wander the red beyond.
Divine Child. Trickster. Shadow.
Chthonic dream.
The river of time.
“Alive” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . “Present”
Flowing water.
Rivers I have loved.
Flowers, seeds, leaves. Paper, words. Balancing.
Clarity. Candor. Deftness appears.
Shoes removed among reeds.
Clay goddesses. Primordial egg.
Slither, swim.
Wading washes away who I was.
