Flocculent Wool's nano fibres - Squint and you'll glimpse the dappled Scales of Samurai Koi leaping upstream against Time's current, back to Eden's hatching pool: Grandsire of card and Carp, limpid source of the Uncreated Mind. Tasked with this riddle, Be still! Unbidden, koi will Line up in unschooled Tufts - silent promptings that Clarify the mind's Thought-tormented waters. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 Flocculent: a.) woolly, tufty; b.) possessing a loose, clumping quality

The Widow ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 Black bile, yellow bile: Autumn-aspen leaf-pile flecked with blight Quivers, exudes milky sap as it takes fright; Sprouts limbs, tail, head as Six-pronged icon of dogged, laggard ardour; Takes flight from logs brought inside and Placed upon the fire. When meads and leas are drunk with dusky dew, She bathes before a hearth of wood and coals aglow; Braids her white-streaked, jet-black strands: Young widow - Beetle-browed, kohl-rimmed Kahlo - Dark eyes fixed upon a scarlet sky beyond the Open window. Flying creature ringed with fire - Drake or Lindworm hornet-hued, Quencher of smithies’ forges - Whooshes, circles ever closer, Dancing off the Soul’s dross in Flames of Purgatory, Flames of chaste restraint, Flames of undying desire. Sparks set the thatch alight. Now with brows fused, eyes ink-pooled, She slams the window shut. From within: Gasps, sighs, kisses and Shrieks of delight. Inspired by Змей (“Serpent”, “Dragon” 1847), Afanasy Fet (1820-1892)
