Premium Member Quetzalcoatl's Return
* For Carol Brown's Story Time Contest

Depicted in multihued native art

Spiritual sketches messages impart

Quetzalcoatl, a venerated god
Plumed leader was said to have sailed away
Prophecies...

Poor Ruby Hummer looks confused,
searching for her favorite feeder.
It was right there when it last was used,
in September, in the cedar.

Above the Bee-balm and Lobelia,
in my pollinator garden,

and I...

Brought thought forms into play,
Created with the spirit forms,
Captured body, soul  to stay.

One soul searching for the other half,
Duplicate out there, Lilith,

Premium Member Yucatan, Et Cetera
Yucatan, etc.

Cortez, DeMille are gone.
It's now the locus
of postgraduate honeymoons,
urban fugues, a minor literary genre.

Knowledge and ejection predispose us
