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.

Flocculent: a.) woolly, tufty; b.) possessing a loose, clumping quality

The Widow

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)
