tenebraed
to a louche
meander
triumphalism fails
as a calling
card
tenebraed
to the black host
of a shorn portico
sigil-wraiths spore
from dune grass
shutter
cannonades fustigatory shadow maglignant rock
the Overseer
double-bent
hackled
chin-scratching
turns away
Underwater Panther
tenebraed ~ ~ ~
abalone brisk frippery balneal quilt
low-lyer out-stretcher slippery fin prancer
headdress-beader
rowel-drifter
can you assume porcelain during the Sun Dance?
smelt bullets in your canine pouch?
in the fur-reap of a renegade telepathy
do you plot siesta?
trellised to a failed epiphany the
tribe tergiversates
storm clouds accumulate the gift of vision
from the axled crouch of luminous stalk
peripheries blister
*The Underwater Panther was a mythic spirit which, along with the Thunderbird, predominates in the cosmology & representational art of all Great Lakes tribes
and some Prairie people.
