The D.O.W. (Dangerous Old Woman)

inks, stenciled, and collage on gesso (decalcomanie) textured surface

winged mermaid, in watery flight
cast your tendrils out to catch waves,
to interlace with feathers of falcon.
soar to angelic territory,
take a terrifying earthward plunge
to stab the rock surface,
telegraphing seizemic shifts.

in the silent world of dreamtime
where all seeds are sewn
you is trumpeter of truth
ageless sage, young crone
