Before Monsoon
Sue & Nikki 5/2009


Rolling gray, tumbling, blundering, devouring all across the plains
Over the petroglyphs, under rocks, and deadwood - through the humidity and timidity of the fields and desolate fauna, dried and dire and extracted, ripped and pulled, torn……..

She was pulling and tugging, tearing the devils’ lettuce, fiddle plant, scorpion weeds – beautiful, dangerous, noxious, poison pulled from the core of the mother – alongside healing sage and daisies and bugs beautiful and bold and ugly and sinful, stinging and nasty, mean and mein in spirit, with dust lifting and blowing and settling and flying – manically; waiting for the blessing to follow….

Pelting, falling, dripping, deluge, wanted and wanting – loving, nurturing, brutalizing and destroying, bringing buoyancy and demise – whichever the favor or folley…..

My ancient, arid and mysterious seabed.
