Poem: Note for the journey | The Words Swim, Waiting
https://thewordsswimwaiting.wordpress.com/2016/07/16/poem-note-for-the-journey
The Words Swim, Waiting. 8230;poetry declares it differently…. Poem: Note for the journey. Note for the journey. When you are drawn down that hungry well,. That tunnel, bored through cruel stone,. And your eyes, straining through the blindfold dark,. Desperate for the least glimmer or phantasm,. Catch a firelight-flicker on the edge of sight,. Only to realize it sparks and glows, relentless. From the eternal flame that heats change’s cauldron-. Remember that the skeleton of the flower. Poem for a friend.

https://thewordsswimwaiting.wordpress.com/2016/07/06/the-so-called-maxims-of-the-fianna-pt-1
The Words Swim, Waiting. 8230;poetry declares it differently…. The So-called “Maxims of the Fianna”, (pt. 1). Several weeks ago, both sides in one of the many recent polytheistic scuffles tried to make their points using a bit of Irish myth/story called The Maxims of the Fianna. Once again, my Fionn mac Cumhaill senses started tingling, especially since I didn’t need a thumb of wisdom. To be suspicious… The original source of this material is the 12th-century work known as Acallam na Senórach. By Ann Doo...

The Words Swim, Waiting. 8230;poetry declares it differently…. She also rules hearth and home. I dream of the bones, risen ghosts. Flitting fitful from longer poems,. And wake to a more concrete set. Of tasks, still given by Her. The heart-deep fires She commands. Are also hearth-warmers, and do not. Light themselves. So, to, inspiration. Leads to a stropped blade, then the sting. Of onions chopped to sizzle, and lay. The ground for alchemy of oil and spice,. Casting a blessing glow on the pot. Then I cl...

Poem for a friend | The Words Swim, Waiting
https://thewordsswimwaiting.wordpress.com/2016/08/04/poem-for-a-friend
The Words Swim, Waiting. 8230;poetry declares it differently…. Poem for a friend. Sometimes Brigid has me write poems for specific purposes, or for specific people. This is one of the latter cases; a good friend who is also one of Her children is going through some rough health issues, and found out that there is a deeper level of work going on….

Esta Noche | The Words Swim, Waiting
https://thewordsswimwaiting.wordpress.com/2016/12/16/esta-noche
The Words Swim, Waiting. 8230;poetry declares it differently…. Something inspired by our recent trip to Oaxaca for Dia de los Muertos:. Atzompa Cemetery, Hallowe’en. The carnival chaos beyond the gates. Fades to candle-flicker, marigold glow,. Copal and mezcal wafting in the air. A quieter bustle reigns here, under. The pulsing music. Solemn watchers. Everywhere you look- reserved but. Not resentful of us interlopers. Children. Drowse graveside, couples cuddle, and. All around the dead flit, catching at.
