Why’s woolgathering less respected than the other arts?
To have the skill to spin from idleness unicorns, globes,
Grey whales, and vampires deserves (and has received) the praise
Of generations (though of mostly day dreaming children).
We learn about ourselves through what we wish we were and can be…
If only in dreams.
And dinosaurs.

In bottles labelled with your name
To wean me off our memories—
To cure my inveterate love.

I wake and watch the blue-hour’s
Crepuscular creatures drag limbs
Through the dim
To their towers.

In lightning flames my quiddity;
My lightning grounds each day;
In lightning smokes Euripides;
His Bacchae swim my way.
