She-moon

May 16, 2018May 16, 2018 Alex Sarll2 Comments

  My body is as wide as a river. My big soul heaves and churns with the wildest waters, whipped up with such a tempest madness. When the pain flows through me, salt water leaves my eyes and my guts constrict, like flapping fish caught in a fisherman’s net; gasping mouths frantically sucking for clear…… Continue reading She-moon

Witch

August 30, 2017September 12, 2017 Alex SarllLeave a comment

My laughter bites and my smile snares; I can enclose an entire room with the sweep of my gaze and men have been known to run away howling. I am a witch and my bones are connected to the cold rock and trailing ivy.   I walk hunched like a crooked woman, crouched like a…… Continue reading Witch

The elements can be merciless; this I know.…… Continue reading Moon Lady rises

A second with nature

March 4, 2017 Alex Sarll2 Comments

My wondering wanders and leads me to the door, which I open and stand at. I watch the sunny scene outside, and it occurs to me- nature does not care about fear nature does not care about love, nature is all of that, coiling, interconnecting unity of all aspects, all sides and all forces. What…… Continue reading A second with nature
