He met her on the glowing green
The gentlest girl he'd ever seen
With artless eyes and guileless mien
Modestly.
She first demurred, he took his chance
He spoke to her of pure romance
She slipped into his courtship dance
Lovingly.
He pushed her to the deep to bed
Desire-drenched in sweetness' stead
And with one stroke, she took his head
Tenderly.
She ate her fill, her portion spare
She left him swaying, thoughtless, there
She skywards sent a humble prayer.
Piously.

love becomes you, he said;
some other love, she said.

there is no sun.
no moon.
no day. no night.
no bright. no dark.
no black. no white.
no right. no wrong.
no love. no spite.
only the ashes remain.

all nothing, save where
veins trace through skin
a blood that runs green:
just a little poison.

she moves on ice as thin as drifting leaves,
each step delicate as it is heartless.

wear the darkness as a skin
so it will satiate her;
wear it till it sinks within
and skin is second nature.

he had known only darknessĀ
till he raised his eyes high
- and the spread of bright wings -
made that darkness light up.
Wrap You in Stories

I sing -
of all things;
from bare winter to spring,
I sing of your sky and your lands,
I sing of your snow and the iciest cold,
I sing of your oceans and sands.
When the sun slants its whim
Over indolent limbs,
I sing of your harvest and hearth
When your tiniest babe
sallies forth from its cage,
I sing of your joy and its worth.
When you set off to feud
in a faraway place,
I sing dazzling tales of your glory.
When you trudge, bloodied, home,
I will sing you comfort
and wrap you in tailor-made stories.
Distant Tidings

first, he dreamt of the bitterest cold,
but his heart in the snow'd rather die;
then, he dreamt of the sand and the lands,
but they lay where his heart did not lie.
finally, he saw where the waves washed ashore
to the hoofbeats that drummed through green sea:
he laughed at the flow of the free gold mane
and he knew where his heart longed to be.
though his heart drank its fill, he could never stand still
and his soulsworn alongside him riding,
to the sand and the land, from the shore back again
he sang high in his step distant tidings.

How long beat our hardened hooves under the sun?
Yo-heave-ho! Till the day's work is done.
Where over the earth do we toil for our land?
Yo-heave-ho! Where the waves meet the sand.
What song stirs our labour to raise our voice high?
Yo-heave-ho! It's this song that we cry.
Who are the fortunate blessed of the sea?
My mother, my brother, my sister, and me.
