earthwords expel'd out

there's a hole in my head where the wounds of reason seep, alls gone 'n dead inside my head, what's left is dark 'n deep.

elemental urge
fiery winds blew
water swelled
earth ached

cave petroglyphs
shine in the darkness
murmuring old winds-as-words
rippling waves to each other

shifting, floating
a fiery swirling, twirling,
churning winds reaching haste
          - these eyes tremble -
as bloody mud overflows
                        in heathen grace
at the edge of the world, grateful of the fall

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

I love the notion of the elements being "earthwords expelled."

I particularly like the following lines:

"murmuring old winds-as-words
rippling waves to each other"

"as bloody mud overflows
in heathen grace
at the edge of the world, grateful of the fall"

Your words strike lightning images for the eye.
