Thank you so much 🙏 Like all the women in that medieval masterpiece of misogyny, the Mabinogi, Blodeuedd gets a really raw deal so I couldn’t resist the opportunity provided by Andy Mellon’s brilliant artwork to celebrate her here 🦉
In Shadow's Vigilance I did not enter from the sky. Condensing from shadows— keeping the night-folding its smudges in my keeps. Holding. Keeping. Unfolding-regarding that which refuses sleep. I bore the weight in my eyes. Breathing the stench of stillness. My wings spread wide-hovering
Thanks to The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press Judge & Editor Emily Tee @emteepoetry.bsky.social

After the room is still the air heavy the floor damp with rain now the storm has ebbed away but you you sit with me you you hold my hand saying nothing just here here
