Charity Creek Baptism

Soiled Doves
Flying in the air
Limb Dance

Corsets hang
Tree branches blush
Stick them whiskey hard

Lye floats
Downstream sins
Madam quotes Sunday prices

Preacher's sermon
Collection plate
Fills Charity Creek Baptism in Same Waters


Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist

this is so visual, Sage... like a Cirque de Soleil/Ombrage... Shady goins on for certain sure... Does Charity begin at home, re-using the bathwater all cosy-like? Why the Eagles lyric from Hotel California comes to my mind I have not a clue: "You can check-out any time you like but you can never leave"... except that perhaps this baptism leaves you more soiled than before, and comin back for more. Quirky juxtapositions that leave me feeling in a circus version of O Brother Where Art Thou... Cool! xx

Another heady mixture of then and now, rituals and services combined in wonderfully creative ways. Poet Sage shines!

Another Way of Being by Sion Liscannor

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