Look at how the patterns in the faux-clover patch give shape to the nameless. Thimbles full of lichen douse the fire toad on an oak root. I barely oblige the blokey crow amongst shadows toking in the temple of Ruul, spindles of mucus from the bundle he fumes smeared on the crab grass. Sometimes I think of my friends at high noon, preening in the telecommune and swinging like pendulums in the hallway. I use the taproot as a guide and pull my weight in its direction. I lean into the thorn bush, just enough to lose my balance and teeter on the brink of tiny clay cliffs, staring into the starry eyes of a rose hip that’s dried.

Acapella of the whorls strum like mallets upon stalagtite chimes. Run with me on the rooftop tile until the rain pours kisses on our smiles. you can be a sorceress, and I a Samurai. I see us slicing, shadow casting like two witches gone cross-wired, pronouncing the names of spirits that haunt us, drowning in our wishing wells.
Bushido and Isobel tip-toe of a pas a deux, shadows playing as speckles on the promenade. ‘Shido is enthralled by the ho-hum laws of gravity, she entranced by the grope of the wind as if courted by it, both by the scent of the fertile soil and blossom. Hers is the answer to the Troll beckon, his, the sword that shines while cutting the throats of those felt compeled to molest his Wiccan bride. Now you know who whispers in the night.
