Susan Hawthorne #260 darkness

DP 260 darkness

Queenie the universe-creating cow
is on a journey to visit her long lost friend
the dark emu hard to find in the spaces
between the darkness but she persists
dances out through the milky way
leaving a trail of stars behind her
like droplets of milk    she approaches
the darkness    spies dark emu a long
way off and picks up her pace
her tail is like a long-haired comet
a whiplash in the darker regions
emu comes toward her a vast tunnel
a mouth that opens into an abyss
of nothingness    emu washes over
Queenie filled with dark energies
she pushes through and emerges
simultaneously changed and unchanged
as is the way of singularities    Queenie
vows to come by more often into through
and out the other side of darkness



Queenie is a character from my book Cow and, like so many characters, insists on revisiting me. So I give in and indulge her.
