Owl Wings

I conjure some deep and potent medicine, as the full moon rises through the back of the yard. Coyotes howl, owls who. I stare at la Luna fiercely into her crevices. Noticing every crater, every shift of shadow, she becomes so vibrant she seems unreal, like a tv picture. As the smoke curls around my … More Owl Wings

Everywhere that I go, I write. Tonight beneath the full moon, I felt the burn of my fire. It grew from my groin and rose through the sky. Together we will break through this global suppression.

Mystic Animals

Dense drops of rain fall from the sky wetting my skull, as I dash across puddles in a cobblestone alley way. Quiet and gray, a soothing day brings the green trees vibrantly alive. A wolf appears before me. People usually fear him, but I stand here and ask, “what do you mean to tell me?” … More Mystic Animals
