“A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism.”
‘Grassman and the Scarecrow’ by Richard Williams for ‘Sacred Rage: The Hellbent Vision of Richard Williams’
“Raingods introduced children to a pink, one-eyed, Aztec god of rain,
Tlaloc, whose name translates as ‘enraged niece of Bruce Forsyth’. Other
characters included minor deities such as Tezcatlipocabungle, the bear
executioner deity; Zippyloc, god of arrogance and poor dentistry; and
Geoffrey the Devil.”
“I thought the earth remembered me,
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.”— from Sleeping In The Forest, 1978 by Mary Oliver
