I just love this writing. The last lines about the long legged bird (crane?) being consumed isjust so perfect. I do have to deal with the north- facing bed so it strikes a chord with me there too. The magnetic field is supposed to be leaving, so will they align their beds to the Pleiades? How interesting; -)

This was a well written poem in my opinion. I like the flow of your narration. Well done.

Geomancy is also an art, doesn't hurt to follow some, being an asian, I can perfectly relate with the theme of this poem. Chinese people lead their lives in this beliefs but it's really the person who is the master of his fate next to God. All the same, I respect and value each one's religion and never meant to contradict anyone's culture. The poem wasn't contradicting either...he was just being submissive to its nature as he kept wondering. Thanks for sharing this narrative poem. Good write and very awakening.

This is great, but I would cut the last two lines, ending on the image in the painting.
