The Edge of Light

I like that this poem has a genuinely mystical/spiritual feel to it. The language and verse structure are simple, but very well managed, creating a decent rhythm. Quite often mystical poems become too vague and generic; this one has an exactness to it that gives it a real atmosphere.

Thank you for noticing the concrete nature of this relationship. I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.

What a beautiful way to describe, honor and appreciate your significant other's wonderful and historical ancestry.... I was captivated and drawn into this poem, completely. I truly loved this and the feel of your impactful creativity...

Thanks for sharing it with us 🙏🏻

Thank you for your sweet comment. I enjoyed reflecting on the heritage of my present lover.

Erotic meets the mystical and spiritual. And what more romantic catch for any woman than a soulful singer or poet who takes the mind to distant ages yet has a continuity with the present. My sense of romance rejoices with what you have found.

It's a great coupling of spiritual origin and passionate devotion.
Wonderful write.

The Hohokam Tribe

This sounded like a Native American name and after checking it online this was proved to be true.

The society is said to have been a culture in the North American Southwest in what is now part of Arizona, United States and Sonora, Mexico.

The Indigenous peoples of the North American Southwest are those in the current states of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada in the western United States, and the states of Sonora and Chihuahua in northern Mexico.

Then the historians or archeologists seem to be divided with regards to the word Hohokam but according the Southwestern archeology, the Hohokam are one of the four major cultures of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico.

There are several official spelling variants for the name, including Hobokam, Huhugam, and Huhukam. The spellings are commonly thought to be interchangeable, but they have different meanings.

As you may have noticed you awakened my fascination with history which includes that of Indigenous people who now make up small minority communities all over the world currently on the brink of being wiped out by politicians and big corporations as they fight over rights over their land in an attempt to aggressively gain access to its resources for financial gain using bully tactics.

So with all of that said, you can be proud to have had many centuries of culture buried deep in you.

I loved experiencing the ancient dances of his ancestors.
