occult of
the pitchfork
tines twitching,
water witching, forked
stick tight in my hands,
passionate demands, my
wrists twist in the meadow's
mist, palms up, divining rod
searching for her wet, 1896,
long ago teacher passed out
rulers and forked sticks, wrote
on the blackboard, Herodotus willow
dowsing, in the Bible, Moses used a
divining rod to strike a rock and call forth
water, I am getting hotter, in the Book of
Shadows, Firebrand used a witching fork to
strike a flint, pre-dawn crowing of a cock and
call forth the black sheep daughter, in harness,
Percheron shod,

windswept with
lust and tombstone
dust, my witcher stick
arched down over the
pasque flower, thunder
and lightning striking those
who question my method, blazing
my name on the pages of Western
history, cemetery cellar full of Mason
jars, bins full of my stashed whiskey,
earliest grave date 1812 - latest 2008

black sheep
daughter, I smell
your aroma in the
air, my wrists twist in
the meadow's mist, palms
up, divining rod searching
for your wet, I traverse the soil,
hand-wrought square-head, nail pussy!
she remodeled the land twice over, snake hides,
bees and very white honey, wild grape vines, occult
of the pitchfork tines, 1896, long ago teacher passed
out rulers and forked sticks, wrote on the blackboard,
New Riders of the Purple Sage - it is a land abounding
with the flesh of the buffalo, beaver fur is our lodestar,

black sheep
daughter, I feel
your thighs pounding,
I hear you coming, ghostly
trees reaching out of the mist,
firebrand kissed, you lean into f***
like strong horses leaning into the collar,
my wrists twist in the meadow's mist, palms up,
divining rod searching for your wet,

I...

Okay, Sage, I'm back and catching up. As you know, I like to
read writing. Forgive me, but it's not so much what you say,
but the way that you say it. Of course, I also like what you
say. - Gene.

Another hit. You've really a way with words. The images go flying about and crisscrossing in the reader's mind. One word I didn't like. I'll get a book this summer. Probably your first. We'll see.

Sage no one could ever see you as less than a powerful writer with an amazing ability to make a story or a poem live, this one is no exception. Some of the metaphors you used are truly incredible!
