I Minded Love

[Guest guest]

I designated myself a Higher Power,

And wandered in search of a distant shore,

I am a bit like a silver fox, I have learned

Myself, these hidden recesses and coves where

Only the wind blows freely,

Starlight reflects the nearness of the creature I

Inhabit in the night as kelp and the brine of sea

Turn my skin a paper white, green edged

And I skim the surfaces in the narration of water.

 

I have built a barge

Now I quite merrily coast along

The River Stix,

I know where the rocks are and how to scrape

The moss from the North side, I am medicinal

By nature and organic by implementation I shine in the

Secretions of my virginal self.

 

I admire the colour red,

And so I wear well my cloak of invisibility that none

May see the real me, though the thought remains the same,

It seems the key to pleasure is the personification of those who

Would love

When and if we question why tears flow in aloneness, why joy

Is Silence and can never be shared, never held.

 

For this I made a pact with

The Trickster, in spite of myself, and because this day allowed me

To play in these Elysian Fields, mind numbing,
