Polish the Tortoise

By wingedboots | Published: February 1, 2010

Polish the tortoise Amble in love. Emerge out of the blue On four legs and tail too, Step slowly as forgiver, Father, fitter, lover, By balance my day foretold On my back the world, Daily a doable walk In search of the lettuce stalk, Oft idle, to rest, to turn To stop, to learn: From […]

Unbounded Love

By wingedboots | Published: February 1, 2009

Hands tied Rope cuts into flesh Over the edge I die? Saved by four loves: Daughter, lover, neighbor, brothers. Gather round, Help me stand my ground, Sense the change, Warmth in my heart. An open heart Can be a sharp heart, Cutting enough to be free. A razor, Now in my hands. I cut the […]

Willow Tree Man

By wingedboots | Published: June 1, 2008

Let your rootedness shine! If an angel flew overhead I’d reach up and catch her By her Achilles heal And wonder if I’d make her crash to earth, Spraining or breaking an ankle, maybe worse, Or if I could catch her and Lower her gently for her foot To grace the earth. Let your rootedness […]

Stations of the Christ – Vision 8: You, God Incarnate

By wingedboots | Published: May 9, 2004

I find myself walking into the Church of Our Saviour, on Marathon Street in Arlington for a wedding. The church is mainly filled with angels. I take a seat half way up the aisle on the left of the church. We are sitting. The angels are a bit agitated as it is not easy for […]

Stations of the Christ – Vision 7: Resurrection, Easter Egg

By wingedboots | Published: May 8, 2004

The voice says, “Visions have come to you in the dark, in moments prepared by ritual cleansing and with the support of the congregation of your Church community. You have created quiet places with your eyes closed. Blindness has been raised over your eyes and the presence of God has stepped forth and taken all […]

Stations of the Christ – Vision 6: Crucify Her

By wingedboots | Published: May 7, 2004

I have no idea where I am heading. I do not know what will emerge. I touch the soles of my feet together. I am in my feet. I ask, “Who am I to serve?” A woman’s voice replies, “Everyone.” I shift my conscious up to my genitals and ask, “Who am I to unite […]

Stations of the Christ – Vision 5: Blind Apostles

By wingedboots | Published: May 6, 2004

I am standing on the beach on the island of the silver pinnacle with the stairway to heaven looking out to sea. My back is to the stairway. The whole stairway has turned golden as the pinnacle parts, the doors to heaven open. Light shines out across the sea in a golden beam. I think […]

Stations of the Christ – Vision 4: The Virgin Void

By wingedboots | Published: May 5, 2004

It begins. It starts this time knowing that I submit; I bow down before Christ. Suddenly I understand, there is a point of light in all seven places of my body. At the base, my feet, in my genitals, in my stomach, in my heart, in my throat, in my head, in my crown a […]
