Threshold

by Alethea D Eason

Not available.

Alethea gives an overview of the book:

From the back of the book: Eason is a born mythmaker. Her poetry is hallucinatory, oracular, gritty, and elegant, and her mythopoetic heart never fails to turn the human condition into epic song, one that redeems us all.

Persistent Lover

I reach down and listen

to the wild place

I've been afraid to enter,

buried like Pluto's treasure

under raw and ragged truth.

This is a time for evolution.

The gods' tongues

are slipping, fracturing

cell and bone.

My skin is only

a covering. These hands hold

nothing. Oh, darkness, sing

my song to me. I am

too tired not to dance

into sunlight ribbed

by the filament of your wings.

Your wisdom rises

in inchoate speech whispering

until I’ve been whittled

and burned. Let me

fly to the life that your shadows

have cast for me.

Persistent lover, greedy

Hades, I eat these

pomegranate seeds

willingly. Hunger is

sweetness on my tongue.

THRESHOLD is a chapbook consisting of 16 poems.
