I am a poet
of the lake,
poetess, actually.
​
My hands gather
her fossil bones-
the calcium
drinks my fingertips
chalking them
white with dust.
​
My heart is here
although storms
never come-
just rain, anymore.
​
What if I drank
too much whiskey
one night
and then told the lake
that I was her
poetess forever.
​
Would she
reflect me differently-
a stranger forever?
​
Bah,
I can't care.
​
The storm passes us by
again
and I am still
and ever
your poetess
and stranger.

"An' it harm none"
Sarah DiViasmeņi is the Poetess/Proprietrix of Poetess And Stranger. She practices her own style of witchcraft, divination, and meditation and encourages all practitioners at every level to follow their own intuition when it comes to magickal living. Poetry and magick are, quite simply, her life. She has a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Minnesota, Morris, and has work published on Vocal Media, RATTLE Online, and The Dark Mountain Project's Eight Fires.
OUR VISION
there has to be a place we start
somewhere we are allowed to
be curious and be curious
a place where women matter
a place of tenderness and conscience
a place for new voices and the natural world
a place whose purpose is to reveal the beauty
and magic in each of us
a place with a heart and a soul and
a mind for change
there has to be a place we start
to be the people our world needs
more healers and dreamers
more makers and menders and believers
there has to be a place we start
so let it be here.
