Irina Kirilenko's Blog

imagine a trailing
nasturtium:
the SUN is the
flower
leaves are the PLANETS
ALL connected
to the stem
now TRANSFORM that image
to the one
of a FIRE-BREATHING
DRAGON…
and back again

GOD’s ever-changing shapes
can be seen
(and heard)
in the orchestra.

on stormy seas
or off the boat,
greek found their myths
in the milk of a goat

the right and left
is knitting
middle

leaves protect their roots

presence

may be
i am
omar
hayam

god embraces
his little earth
his roaring mouth
speaks whispers
his pulsar
sends
her body in a spin
eruptions, quakes
her womanhood…
aurora borealis

his fingers run
tsunami
across the waves…

feminine is a
RESPONSE
to masculine

what was that MAGIC WAND
that turned a frog
into a prince?

a hint: it is stem-like
with something shiny
on top
