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

About Me

I am a suburban single mom—copy editor of higher ed textbooks by day, superwoman without a clue at night. I have a string of failed relationships and have lived to tell about it. I am also highly sexual but not having a lot of sex (primarily due to the fact that the love of my life lives some 800 miles away right now). This means that I use my imagination to its fullest extent and have to test out a lot of my toys for review solo. I have to believe there are other folks out there who, whether by choice or by force, enjoy the pleasures of self-love.In addition to masturbation, I write. A lot. 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!
