Deep in the darkness, I hear you, Domnu

Darkness is pulling me deeper, Domnu

Dark in the deep, you wait for me, Domnu

Darkening, deepening, calling my name.

Rough on the waves, I can feel you, Domnu

Waving through roughed foam and surf, Domnu

Rough on my wavering skin, Domnu

Waves in the roughening crash of the tide.

Heat in the cavernous space, Domnu

Cave of the heated thick breath, Domnu

Heat of your touch from the cavern, Domnu

Cavernous heat to swallow me whole.

Stars in the blood-blackened sky, Domnu

Bleeding in starlight I know you, Domnu

Starred oceans of iron are singing, Domnu

Bloodied beneath the stars’ light, you are.

Mother of Horses

woman who rides and runs

grant me the freedom to run wild

seat me in my body, in the moment

blind me to anything beyond the next step, next breath, next heartbeat

remind me of the joy of keeping up

of stretching, pushing, diving forth

Let me run with the herd

grasses parting beneath our hooves

let me fly beneath the sun

sweating, aching

Teach my neck to arch

my feet to dance unfettered

Mother of Horses

set me free
