Tuesday Poem: What the River Told Me & This is What the Sky Says
What the river told me .....
Nothing escapes
the memory
of water.
This
is what you are made of.
This is what you are afraid of.
This is what the Sky says .....
Don’t wait up.
I have all the time in the universe.
I'm currently in transit between England and Italy. These are two small fragments from the series I'm working on based on the Haida Gwaii Indian beliefs and poetry. Their shamanic rituals were mostly in the form of poems and incantations and they all have wonderful titles which are irresistible as prompts for poems. I'm having great fun exploring it all!
The photographs are from an autumnal, cloudy, but rather beautiful northern England.

ReplyDeleteOh yes, intriguing and lovely. Thank you Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteThank you all - I will keep working on this series. The mind set of these ancient people is so different to ours it's difficult to even get a glimpse of how they thought and felt.
