Skootematta

Topics: classic

Sheldrake, a magician          - the mandrake         a mythic plant whose shriek         drove listeners wild....         this lake, Sheldrake         and its windsong-heartswoon         counterpart, Skootematta         with Shabomeka &         a whiff of Buckshot Lake to boot,         waves lapping the         prayerful stones -         water's edge         the earth's bones....         Lakes an art-form         hardscrabble scribble         shorthand on a blessed land.         The mysticism of basic shadows,         occult shapes of ourselves.
