Snake Tongues and Dragon bones
Crone’s hands and crow’s feet
You meet…
Needle eyes tug on heart strings
Night-wakes as day-dreams
A prised token the loom weaved
Blessed-cursed the seeds seethe
A grieving call in joy’s thrall
To…
Rocks watching as trees breathe
Walls melting as tides soar
Above the roar
With bearings found in a chance lost
Its cry soft it’s skin raw
Stroked by fang and wolf’s paw
Eagle claw and owl feather
Thrown the anchor, tied the tether
To…
The Mountain that climbed Mohamed’s back
The hunter that the deer tracked
Antler-spear and moon’s blood
the drought drenched in a parched flood
In…
The story told - a vow so old
Traps set but bonds break
Against odds and high stakes
The Dragon Wakes
With…
Sticky thoughts in a sharp mind
Folding its edges to hide
The face of its guilt from
the eye of its pride
The holes of its need from
A sickness divine
.
.
.
It will be clean in time
It will set free
the time
Left
And so returned
To me.
With each forgotten lifetime
And each handwoven lifeline.
