MFM: Symbols

Ah, our dear Ang, the Sweltering Celt, has dealt us a challenge this week, indeed. A little poetry inspired by…

The Caduceus

undercover i slither up the length of leg

rubbing breast and belly to muscular thigh

tense and coiled ready to strike

mouth open sharp teeth bared

descend upon his flesh

with darting tongue and open eye

piercing skin to anguished cry

further rising

stretching

languid

wrapping tightly round the neck

his ecstasy released

i let go my prey

and bade him breathe, breathe, breathe.

“Here we see his full power of transcendence, whereby the lower transcendence from underworld snake-consciousness, passing through the medium of earthly reality, finally attains transcendence to superhuman or transpersonal reality in its winged flight.”

Joseph L. Henderson, “Ancient Myths and Modern Man” in Carl Jung’s Man and his Symbols

Um, why have I never found YOU, is the question!! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a note. While I don’t have internet access at home, I do have access and would love to hear of any way to make some “extra” cash through writing, etc. I used to run a HUGE parenting website and dealt with advertisers, etc. but never thought my little blog would garnish anything worth while! Feel free to contact me at [email protected]

About Me

I'm a recent transplant to somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. While mothering my energetic 10-year-old son, I'm also working as a contract graphic designer, freelance proofreader and copy editor, and planning an October 1, 2011 wedding to my anam cara, soul mate, and best friend (they all come rolled into one fantastically hot and ultra-intellectual package). In my rare spare time, I write as much as I possibly can and in several different places. This is the outlet for my erotic bent. Or bent erotica. I have come to love the community of sex bloggers. They are an amazing group of talented and wonderfully supportive individuals. Please come back regularly and be sure to check out my links to spread the love to some of the greatest writers and artists around. Enjoy!
