Artesian: God's Runaway Well

drilled for
fire protection
in 1886, driller's
inexcusable actions
and ulterior motives of hate,
a member of the criminal class,
today's equivalent to God's impostor,
laying down in blueprint for want of a larger
drill using the force of God's flow to ream out
a two-inch bore to three inches he specified in
the contract where the beginning of the trouble lay,
his flooding intentions,

when the
driller saw
the result when
over time, increased
his bore to over three feet,
he decamped, retreated to let
those affected clean up the mess,
affecting relationships of earth and
good women,

the flow
roiled out
of the three-feet
bore in a fountain
that stood five feet
high, just three inches
shy of The Firebrand's
height, maximum flow of
30,000 gallons increased
to 50,000 gallons per minute,
eventually diminishing to 2,000
gallons per minute calculated many
months later, then came the f***ing sand,
500 to 1,000 carloads, so great that ditches
could not stay open to carry the water, chunks
of fossil wood and stones hurled,

stemming the
flow took years,
leaving visible scars
and multiple damage,
the well devouring pipe,
stone, sand, clay, and dreams
all at the controlling and evil hands
of God's impostor, a member of the
criminal class,

four women
appeared on
horseback over
the white powder
gold dust horizon
in spiritual rejuvination,

rainbow
bodies cinched
the underbelly,
The Sundance Wives
fat with independence,
lean of intolerance, the
hooves transported the
sermon distilled of wormwood,
"teach your daughters the wisdom
of these Four - pray for your daughters
souls the way to authentication."

I was breathing hard over the surveyor's report, trying to take in the facts, but hoorah for the women on horseback with their redeeming rainbow bodies and their souls of authentication! Suddenly my spirits were lifted - who needs the cavalry when four Sundancing women will do.... xx

Water, oil and then sewage too. Insert any of the three and the story doesn't change. We change the world to our demands only to find the world has changed our world. Great wisdom. Love the Sundance wives. May they keep riding. Liz

Another Way of Being by Sion Liscannor

A (shockingly) truthful autobiography with elements of fantasy, philosophy, and historical fiction.

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
