I Read My Death in the Winter Stars
m.f. nagel
I read my death in the winter stars
Drowned;
Drowned
In the desert
Drowned
In the dunes;
A Desert cathedral
Ruined by rains.
I read my death in the winter stars
My name became
A Solar barque
Buried
Near
An oasis;
Where
I ate
Bread, figs
And drank desert wines.
I read my death in the winter stars.

Working notes
Who can forget the remarkable life stories of the women in Lesley Blanch’s
Book- The Wilder Shores of Love…I can’t.
Writers, rebels, adventurers all.
I was especially swept away by the fascinating story of Isabelle Eberhardt,
Fearless reformer, warrior, smashing taboos and the status quo.
She dreamt of building a desert cathedral.
Astrologers predicted her death, drowning in the desert, which is just how she died.
Drown In the desert in a freak flash flood.
