Heron Moksha 

Her hallowed
Killing grounds sprawl amid
Teeming shallows, pools and
Sumps.

Her
Neck-bend sinew
Erupts into arid
Dart of ritual impalement:

Small fry go head first;
Eels are dashed against 
Rocks or bill-skewered;

Birds, ducklings, voles -
Drowned, bludgeoned,
Swallowed whole, with 

Fur, bone and ungual husk
Spewed and set aside as
Sacral gem-pellets.

Her
Neck-bend sinew:
Pinecone composite of
Trinity-seven primes;

Twenty-one cervical vertebrae 
Retracted in flight -

Twenty-one skulls
Knotted into 
Dark Mother 
Choker.

Metaxu*

Cleave that cuts and binds -
Bob-cut categorical imperative 
Cloaking fragile beauty in
Stogie smoke and worker slacks.

Ascetic insurgent
Burning herself on campfires;
Mission-eager poor shot – too
Nearsighted to be safe around Guns, but

Keen-sighted enough to grasp the
Connecting distance that
Begets our wretched lot.

Fallen bodies,
Corrupted souls:

Blind walls that keep a
Captive World - a
Captive God -
Apart and in
Touch.

Perforce unholy
Perforce disgraced –  to be
Created at all, 
We must become what God is not.










©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026


* Greek: μεταξύ, literally “between” – a concept originating in Platonic thought, embodied here in the life and work of 
French philosopher and mystic, 
Simone Weil (1909-1943)

A single wild pink rose on her bush. It’s dark and the petals and foliage are softly lit. A few petals are on the ground, soft focussed in the shadows.

A small Ontario lake. Drift wood breaks and is perfectly reflected in the still waters. Mist softens the marsh and woodlands along the opposite shore.

Wicker Man Sequel II: 
Afterlife, 1974

He goes quietly -
Too quietly, in fact.
Eyes downcast, he is sullen,
Resigned, 
Relieved.

No struggle,
No frenzied pleas,
No execrations,
No desperate screams - 
Even the animals 
Fall silent.

Such an anticlimax, some
Dare say.

We are leaderless. 
Later that year, a
Plummy-voiced fugitive with 
Caddish moustache offers to be
Our Laird. But we’re a religious people -
We don’t do murder here, and won’t
Countenance spouse killers. And, to
Be honest, we’re sick of the
Notoriety.

In fact, everything becomes an
Anticlimax: the

Unrelenting waves of
Orgy,
Feasting,
Carousing,
Innuendo,
Bawdy song,
Ritual mirth,
Communal rejoicing. 








We seek the sublime 
Thrill of transgression – that
Dire-edged, dark delight made
Keener by the dread of
Censure and chastisement.

Our Christian neighbours revel in it:

Shame-filled, knee-trembler sex in barns,
Caves, cubicles, hallways, back alleys;

Shebeens, whisky bothies,
Gambling dens – skulking, winking 
Furtively at bored menfolk on the
Sabbath;

Malicious gossip about the
Manse family.

As if divining our silent prayer, a large
Consignment of oatcakes arrives from a
Nearby island.

Brittle, friable biscuits – 
Hebridean fortune cookies 
Revealing 
Aphoristic Bible
Quotes that promise
Hellfire and damnation with a 
Faint chance of
Salvation.

We shudder in 
Anticipation.

Painting: An abstract landscape painted in watercolor and ink; predominant colors are dark brown and mauve.  The foreground consists of a hilly area; some scrubby trees or shrubs rise from the land in the middle distance, silhouetted against light at the horizon.  The sky is painted in dramatic swirls of color.

Photo: A black-and-white, ICM shot of a huge flock of blackbirds flying low to the ground, crossing a stream.  The air appears thick with birds and water spray.  This scene appears in front of a line of bare trees marking the edge of a wooded area.  The entire scene is shot at close-to-medium range to highlight the intensity of the flock’s movement; only the trunks of the closest background trees are visible.

Painting: A mixed media abstract landscape on an unnaturally greenish background; land is arranged in a somewhat circular formation, and a bare tree appears upper left.  The entire painting is covered with random marks, creating visual texture.
