under her feet


in the circle of another face
she listens to the squeal of a mouth
left jammed in the hinged horizon
three autumns ago

her eyes lift up and she finds her mood
hanging there behind the moon

loose

her body opens and shuts
like a whore bending on time
and she is nothing like Mary who has
suffered the wickedness of the sun

but a gutless conception
baptised by fish and the drag
of Pacific under her feet


Angel of Darkness
November 6th 2003



fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows

I don't know that this is so dark, but certainly haunting of those things we go
through, thinking we can put them aside,
only to rise again, in a full moon...

when the coyote howls,
or the surf sings...

Well done, Maree.  Very well done.

Enjoyed the read, especially this line."her eyes lift up and she finds her mood". Extremely visual for me. Nice write.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

WOW...what do I say to THIS? First off this is exceptional writing even though it's very dark. You always write with such vivid emotion. One can't but help to feel your words, and feel this I did! Just awesome imagery...I don't know what else to say. I'm actually speechless.

Take care.

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is very heartfelt, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maree, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
