"The Violent Beauty of Urda Louise," Volume 1 coming soon. (I love volumes and issues) Here is an excerpt:
Rumored
And rumored
that she ruined
all of the men in this city
Reduced one serious man
Into a weeping, witless clown
Participated in ceremonies
celebrating sex and spirit
And buried her mother one sad morning
into the cold wet ground.
Born to midwife
by light
gleaming off her father’s knife
reflecting candlelight
her small body washed by her mother,
grandmother and grandfather
in a ceremony by the sea
where they let her descend
then drown
then rise again
to ensure her big spirit roams free.
Rumored
And rumored

Into a weeping, witless clown
Participated in ceremonies

And buried her mother one sad morning
into the cold wet ground.
AVE URDA...stay tuned.

You are so talented and creative! I love your work and I'm so glad you have it out in the wide world for everyone to enjoy. So much color and poetry cannot be contained!
...where they let her descend / then drown / then rise again / to ensure her big spirit roams free.
And free it roams and big it is. In words. In images. And your spirit and freedom touches us all. It is the gift of words, of images. It is ART. And we too are free.
