the sky tide streams,
making its best for home

holding the centre open
a high tree rises, pole of the world
green-bird-tipped
serpent-rooted
woman-trunked Lilith
Melusine
Our Lady of the Blood,
Lady of Changes,
Lady of Starlight,
Lady of Trembling,

And silver photons pull her golden trigger -

Dark of the Moon in the Heart of the Sun
Our Lady of Lucid Dreaming
In the Heights of I Coverage in Full.
