#whitedoe She lives in the woods by my house. Conclusion: Songkran is today, and this white doe piece is a continuation of the black and white series of visual poetry by Maggs Vibo, 2021.  A Meditative Spirit A blue jay swoops From the branches of an Eastern Red Cedar Knocking berries to the ground A formation of geese honk As they cross the James A cool breeze wrestles the remaining Ochre from the branches of a ginkgo Atop the highest branch, a goldfinch sits Perched above my view Suddenly, a spirit from the forest Moves a branch on a Japanese maple She is albino and perhaps of Chickasaw origins Entranced by her appearance I dare not move, breathe, blink I am convinced She is not real But she reveals to me A true magic as a Totem Captivating my imagination She is sacred Protected, mythological, legendary And adored From the moment our eyes Lock A poem by Maggs Vibo, 2020  Cotton, S. S. (2009) Vibo's Erasure based from the Prologue of The White Doe the Fate of Virginia Dare an Indian Legend. Hardpress Publishing.

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
