5: A MEMORABLE FANCY

for i am Diamond Bones, Adamantine Skeleton,
i am Oaken Door, i, Shining Black Voice.
i am sinuous elegance, pierced light, green shade, woven trunk.
thousand-tongued, wearing sunlight, well-deep, well-rooted,
wisdom-honed, charged with depth and breadth,
crimson, mighty and glorious, eye of sun fire,
cool moon tongued, ,red winged to horizon’s edge.
cloud-borne,unmoving distance,
Memory and Forgetting, packed, pinched Time,
unwrapped, revealing.

there youy stand, there you are now:
Space Spinner, White Weaver, the Spinning Post, the Spindle,
drawing upwards, drawing inwards, drawing together.
Dancing White Crane, White Fox, Two White Butterflies,
Memory and Forgetting.
