Priestess of Erresos, Lesbos - '00

Applauded by goat bells
The humming bird
Sappho rich and silent
Licks wet the wombs of flowers.
Nectar rising ina sword lipped kiss.
Mistaken for honey bees
Seeking Elixir.
Parting swollen petals with tongue silver
Lapping olive groves like surf
Seeking salty soil.
Stirring memories from other lifetimes
Of touching her face
Falling into the brown arms of Hecate's night
Still smiling.

Siren

Homer's word for the magical woman of Cyrene who cast spells on men's ships to cause them to be wrecked on the rocky coast.

En-Trance

This painting was inspired by the views from the chambered womb-tombs of West Kennet long Barrow and Wayland's Smithy.
