Dearest Vestina,
A word with no twig is a bird.
Riffs, raps, song, ink slung to a righteous bass line, and possibly a poem or two.
A word with no twig is a bird.
Would it be more profitable
To be a painter paid by the word
Or a poet paid by the pound?
You said, Moonboots & spacesuits
ain’t never made a man— True, however
Nia said, Whosoever would be, alas,
done already had at least one
Muse clad in cowboy boots n’ denim
My father is the fisherman
Vassal of Poseidon’s tides
Older than Ulmo, older than Nereus
He is The Depths of the primordial seas
The trick as Witch is to work Magic & not disappear, The trick as Host is to be at your own party
I shall de-
sire you of more acquaintance,
Good Master Cobweb…
Each with a 33
contrarily tucked under their curling tails
for the Quadrupling quarterstitch
So, Where is it then
My silvertine friend
She said to a raven
She said to a loon
a clock over the mantle and a clock over the kitchen, the rest of the house oblivious to time but for the paint cracking outside,
Just because
Keeping track of Timelords
As a shepherdess should
Is what she does.
