Russell Mountford, #5 / Dec 2011
Poem by angeljunkie


"Divination as a Means of Finding a Way Back", Jes Malitoris (#9 / Dec 2012)

                                 And out of the horizon in my mind
comes the memory of how I began this poem thinking of
my fear of childbirth, of the nightmare I had when I was
sixteen about telling some future-husband I wanted a divorce.
And how I wish I had been re-born instead as the Thunderbird,
spending my life carrying updrafts of hot air against the
ocean breezes, a spirit of all colors, calling out with booming
thunder-voice. Still,

                                   I watch from the earth, with electricity
trembling in my fingertips, and a heartbeat that rocks my
whole body, rising to meet the lightning on my wings of rain.

[Listen to Full Version]
