Flying Fish


a fin
again

a gin
for drinking in

the milk forest ~a, the letter
and in stella maris swim, aba
the meter
theon:  Leonids and

Perseids sew bb
between them, aba
clothing October
sky in Orionids

falling bodies in terza rima  [1]
spark fab

rics
in the making
who wouldn't want
a seat feasting at such a ta(b)le

a ta(b)le with a
b tail

I propose
a toast: let us
celebrate the
wet wing

shedding
like a she'll

[1] Terza rima is the rhyme scheme for Dante’s Divine Comedy

HESTIA'S MAGIC HAIR

Charles Dickens makes the association of
the cricket on the hearth with human feel-
ing & actions linking this moment to one's
fate in his book  "Cricket On The Hearth."

Tonight enter her poetic interval
attend a cricket in your hearth’s deep song
Hestian plumes these fumes lumen
pneuma neither of gods nor men

notes

1. One epithet for the Goddess Hestia is oily-haired. Hestia, in this sense, tends the interval/gap/space shaping "the real" or "femininity"  with characteristics belonging to the material imagination in the form of magical hair.

#ohj THE ALL-CONSUMING UNCONSCIOUS

mermaids like flounder
courtesans they fished
fishcakes they made
of the sea

over-fished fish
overcome flesh
mermaids under the sea
