I am not sure what this means.

 

A finger of wind writes her name

In ashes from dragonish burned coal.

 

No one could decipher the ashen tongue

Or transparent snake skins curled in dune grass.

 

Gold summer sun enters

The oak through many doors

 

Yet cannot touch her at all

She who lies dreaming

 

Of cold water drawn up

Gushing until her pail can hold no more.

 

No more to enter her house

The house sun enters by day

 

And through the curtains

Sometimes the strawberry moon.

 

She lies in a dark deep ravine

Day sunset and night.

I'm not sure what it means either, but the words are so beautifully chosen that they elevate our thinking in ways we never thought before.

Striking imagery that creates an atmosphere of mystery. Seems your muse is using you to convey a message that only certain individuals can assign meaning to. How cool is that? Enjoyed this. r
