I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
I am moving between real world and mythology, both familiar as as well as fairy tales. Comic books come alive and myth becomes reality, reality merges into magic. I am in awe of the all the dimensions I am going through. It takes me through such a range of emotions, that is undescribable.

While you pray beneath your mother's
tree you carve a phoenix into your palm
with a hazel twig and coal;
every night she devours more of you.

I'm totally teased!!!
Hope you get to feeling better!
The "Where are you?" sounded to me like someone with the flu. I've had it too. Hope you are better soon.
Now that sounds wonderful. I hope you can shake off the flu and that you are finding the right poetry to sustain you along the way.
