Huguenot Bibles: O smite the land for the water’s sake:
the dreaming of the eelish heart is evil from its youth.

Sky darkens bright with ancient light from uncountable
pinprick galaxies, where ‘Oumuamua is lost in space,
swept blind in the Big Bang’s current. A little eel
slips off, begins to make her way downstream.

Just read Katrina Naomi 's brilliant collection 'The Way the Crocodile Taught Me' from Seren The voice throughout this collection is strong, scalpel-sure - it chimes, clearly & sharply throughout. It is devastating, dark & sensual, witty. Startling, alive, raw & unafraid.
