Words...

are but chains in my flight of fire...

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccckkkk!

Ever after


The stories continue. There the child stirs
and turns in sleep, beyond the gold-edged myths
and purple pages, beyond the mother’s
rhythmic voice, beyond betweens, beneaths.


The morning’s argent maiden muslin ray
pulls the mythoi back to worldlinesses,
the crystal senses of this world assay
a different yarn. Known stories, known faces


remain, repeat, resay the said, repay
the paid, refind what has never been lost,
live lives again, and die again to stay,
to sing the songs that have been sung the most.


Here, I lie bound to the sleep of this hour.
Myths, they pass by, now, and ever after.

Thanks crimson.

Just wrote a tanka for a tanka-thread in the LitNet forums, that reminded me of this poem:

i did cry out, young
as i was, young and yearning,
yearning and turning
to the everafter lands,
cried and slept, to dream again.
