Stephen Linsteadt - Artist - Poet - Author


                                                                                       Fisher of the Nile


 

The mask of human personality

was fitted to the face of the Beast.

 

The fisher of the Nile

fishes up the old dark orb

with the crescent of its beak;

 

the Lady of Light,

whose name is written with an arrow,

returns the liquor she stole from the sun.

 

Her endless renewals,

the periodic repetition,

is one way

to remain immortal.
