The Three Comadres, by Susa Silvermarie
I. La Vieja Machis
The wind lifts the wild, white mane
of La Vieja Machis, Lake Chapala Goddess.
She protects the lake from which she rises,
and guides the beings blessed to live
Eating a Peach at Fawn Lake
The lake in early morning,
a wavy plate reflecting
an evergreen shoreline.
Her Earthy Ethos of Eros
Aphrodite, Star of Venus,
from your creased and handsome face,
your eyes blaze out and dance.
You who never settled
Three Poems from Susa Silvermarie
Pregnant with seeking,
I rely on my instincts.
I hold out to the cosmos, my mirror.
My pipe I point down to the ground.
