RambleAmble More Poems Song Lyrics Back to Index     



dwarf magic


truth
is stronger than fiction
though the bean counters too often
win in the end

but my friend
a one-eyed green dwarf
tromps the giant
then gleefully toe dances
all over him

web weaver
creator of angels

your multifaceted butterfly fleets
surround and delight
the enemy,
deflower the mosaic rose

your desert aches like a mirage,
serrated edges of consciousness –

dream weaver
the veldt of your utopian outpost
proud with lions –

for who needs reality
chanting athwart the dark?
