cast mask
plastered gauze
stippled
duct-taped mouth
painted over with lips
and teeth white as fangs
in moonlight
I am wolf woman
angry
dangerous
howling under blue nights
seeking out
inhumanities
suckling women
by daylight
on dropped-milk courage

We use the clay of the world to explore the facets of our idenity. The brave find the the light and dark of their personal power. They don't toy with only honor the entire vision of thier humanity and the magic in their souls. You have shown this beautifully in tight symbolic cant of the shaman you are.
Love, Tom B.
