Phoenix Song 11 by Lisa Phoenix
I Name as Invocation
shapeshifter; dappled
daughter of ash, luminous
sister of fire; story-
stalker, wordtwirler
tumbling from a nightshade sky:
star-hearted poet
II Name as Promise
unpaid bills,coffee
cups, appointments, flat tires...
at the grocery
choice of vegetables
for a cheap month's-end supper:
voluptous bell
peppers glow like lamps;
bloodveined curly chard, white carrots -
ordinary grace

It is the multiple shapes that caught my attention. Stalker, worldtwirler. I can see words twirling around you.
The Abbess
These words tumble and sparkle like jewels in the light.

Food imagery provokes so much internal recognition, the beauty of vegetables is an ordinary grace.Peppers glowing like lamps...you just want to hold them in your hands. lovely.
