Porcelain and onyx, pour girl through her own skin, her
body a garden for stories, implant, take root, flower.They reach a world, across time, across
space. She walks a thousand stars to get to a place of origins, collecting
sticks and stones, breaking and rebuilding fluted bones, like a sparrow who
refused to be just a sparrow and decided instead to be a phoenix. She has met
the wolf on Okinawa, where the Irrita’s dressed her in tattoos, tiny pin points
of pain in thorns peppering the spiral culture of her complex dna. She has rolled
in fur and ale with Huns, climbed the tower for Rapunzel’s renowned pastries,
pulled her threads beyond herself and reworked the helixes a thousand times on
a bone loom. Molecules and pollen graft her purpose to the night, where, in ink
seduction she coaxes the last dreams into the folds of her silk gown. Porcelain
and onyx, doll under fine glass with a
wind up stick of silver in her sacred sacral nerves. My fingertips turn the
spindle on another world. I find my glaze inside the shine of a girl who’s been
kissed full of creation by a lonely god’s butterfly. God calls her, Book.She has many, many pages, waiting to be read
by the right fingertips that understand impressions better than the wisest man with
the greatest vision. Simplicity creates divinity, sometimes, if you know which
mitochondrial butterflies to kiss.
Nao~ being wilfully rude is very unbecoming and unimaginative of a poet~ get a few more years of verbal sparring under your belt and then come back with a better b***h slap than the pathetic and thinly veiled attempt below~
one can only sit within the immensity of your thoughts, if not for the physical one would assume you were sent by the Gods themselves...your poems as this one are filled with that variety f one who can take their reader upon a voyage of everything that she sets her mind too...this is a very creative and exceptional work Selene...
how these words pour through my own mind's eye , the chorale of mythology , a soul script , the weavings of the brocade of life in natural perspective , the DNA of time and the spin and strip of genealogy , you an Artist , true to the creative force whose energy radiates from your words .
