What Time? What Hope?
Being greedy In small steps Grabbing what What you want As though It’s yours By right Or rite Casting bones Waving feathers Odds and ends Imbued with power At midnight Any hour Darkness hides Our fright Our trepidation Nervous laughter Hoping, hoping Longing to know The secret Wrest the prize The surprise You know Has […]
Hitch Up Your Trews
