What Summons What Is Not


What Summons What Is Not

But the answer is really simple...
the sigh of the hairshirted ogre
is what summons what is not,
his sigh as he casts his gaze
over the crescent moon,
where it falls in the next kingdom
as dry burnt leaves.*

*It mystifies me
how you can
stroke my heart.

    1. Of course he sighs. I heard him. I felt it. I admit it took some effort traveling far enough to see where his cast gaze landed. Once there it was effortless to see his gaze shiver apart and reveal dry burnt leaves.

The chicken crossed the road. That's poultry in motion.
