Rise of the Kraken

by: Cherri Hewitt

Tentacles squirming

Like worms on a leaf

Amanita potions

Transformation

We seek

Rising rituals

Siberian gnomes

Stirs the beast

Off Norwegian coasts

We forget to remember

Our light

How we died

Over and Over

In Muscarian skies

An array of human experience

Flips through my mind

Shuffled deck of lives

Times

All is forgiven

I find myself again

We are the experience

We find us in the end

We forget so we can be

Form symbiotically

Forever with pine tree

Lost infinitely

Pulled by deep black oceans

We think we’re on an island

And then we

Remember

The Kraken’s arising
