My bones feel the ache
Searching for me, six feet deep
Only to wake up

Moving through Molasses
Inspired by the 1919 Boston Molasses Flood Moving through the Ground feels like moving through molasses — not the kitchen kind, not the syrup on a spoon, but the kind that drowned a city in 1919. Thick. Relentless. Slow enough to watch, heavy enough to crush.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

This is so potent and raw that the emotion it evokes as I read it again and again is wordless anguish. The pic suggests the spirit taking flight while the flesh is trapped in this life and left behind. Visually arresting!
Such a "Ommfph poem"... Very dynamic and well written!
It's exhausting, isn't it?
I liked it Kelli.
Nicely written. Poignant & profound...
That is so profound and moving. Fantastic work Kelli.
Wow! What a sudden impact these few words gave.
