A flash in her eye, smaller and smaller it falls until it drops from view like lightning bolts over the Plain of Alaric. Quicksilver---ephemeric A teacher of moral wilderness, she is capricious. The wind blows where it wills...
"Je chante a la femme, qui seme a tout vent."
Electric fishwater dusted swampy forest waters in Heverlee, no one asks where she goes, she is Zero. A storm breaks upon her brow and danger falls. Weaker men run for safety as she turns and rends the evening.
She brings me wine, olives, les fomages, le pain... She picks mushrooms and almonds; wildflowers and inspiration. She brings me music and words for my purple pen---swimming in blue water, and grey water... In coldmarble-walled water in moonlit springs on rocks in the storm battered sea, her floral dress waves.
To the Black Mounains, to the high hills, white jagged rocks and trout pools. To the rocky goat road, to the wild windy horse pastures at the end of the world.
All is one in the Beginning, swirling, radiant, bumblebees humming, dry, sharp quartz walls in the forest it is drizzling.
Smaller and smaller, until she is zero, dropping out of sight like quicksilver, or silver on silver. an ephemera, No one asks where the wind blows, it listeth. Lightning siezes the tangled horizon over the field of Alaric. Electric lights break on her brow, enervating her rounded fishwater pools.
