High up the Hip they stood, two Blue Knights, The Sphinx and Sheba. The Hip of the Hill of a Woman Look, said the Sphinx, I can feel it with my eyes and heart and bones and blood, the incessant creeping of the darkness. Come in here to crush all our rights and freedoms, withContinueContinue reading “Upon the Hip of the Hill of a Woman”

The Herbs at the Knees of a Woman
Well, said the woman when she had caught her breath, I am Sheba, not the Queen of though. Many thanks for saving me from a nasty place, I owe you one. No problem, said the Knights, and where might you be going on this misty morning so high above the plain upon the Ankle ofContinueContinue reading “The Herbs at the Knees of a Woman”
Journey to the Feet of a Woman
The Sphinx and the Knights left the forest clearing to the birds and creatures of the quiet places. The two knights rode upon their horses and the Sphinx made good progress on its four clawed feet. Where shall we be when we have got there, said the Sphinx, not in any manner out of breath.ContinueContinue reading “Journey to the Feet of a Woman”
What Should I Be
If I am to be a rock. Shall I be a rock, fashioned to a shape just so? To take my place and make my home in the pedestal or column of the façade of some mighty building. I will bear the weight of others, that they in turn might rise ethereally into the clouds.ContinueContinue reading “What Should I Be”

I come to you from a land mired inContinueContinue reading “Sphinx in the South: Interview with a Penguin”
Sphinx in the North
The Sphinx turned her face to the cold North and was in conversation with the Ice that lay there in mountains and floating plains. Well, oh Great Ice place, I expect you have heard from the Sun and the West Wind that I come as a supplicant, asking favour. The Ice was silent and flatContinueContinue reading “Sphinx in the North”
Sphinx in the West
Forwards and forwards now to the West, Westwards, Westerly. To the left looking North, to the right looking South. The Sphinx travelled. Maybe not, maybe the Sphinx just faced to the West, face to the wind. To the West, where the wind comes out the sky, where the wind comes come down to bend theContinueContinue reading “Sphinx in the West”
All At Sea
When the sphinx awoke, before she had opened her eyes, she felt the wind on her face, smelt the salt in that wind and heard the water roaring around her with the influence of the wind. On a ship then, all at sea. She rose to her four feet and looked out across the waves.ContinueContinue reading “All At Sea”
