Walpurgisnacht
2005
“Oh Scribe, please describe us what you have seen!
But hide and hold in abeyance what has long been!”
Werewolves, methinks, are something well known
now let me reap happily the weeds Ive sown
Ramble on, my dear roe deer, and have no fear
of rampant metaphors about Hittites and beer
Aptitude for archaisms, Archaeologies unveil
Approval for isomorphic thoughts, its the truth that I exhale
Feature me with Pars pro Toto– and lupine lunar luck
Go ahead, take another photo of how hard we can rock
Decipher with delight sheer shambolic symbols
stop at a random stage to watch them play the cymbals
Solemn cartomancies carved in maple wood
Sombre somnolence, a recluse in your neighbourhood
Wilco, White Widow, widen my omnivor mind
Orient by prosody to escape the grievous grind
From Mars to Pluto– follow the rump to eclipsed sun
cat, white rabbit and broomstick– the trip has just begun!
