Twining Venus Mars
20 January 2017
Shadows grow
Tall in the winter
Knock and knock
Who is there
Frightened cried the little hare
Is it big bad wolf
The light gleamed
Shadows extended
Shying day
Keen on hay
The hare asleep pretended
It was wolf at bay
Stories wove
Confusion’s webs strings
Three piglets
Squealed in fright
Through the thickened woods they drove
Falling out of sight
Hushed and mum
They gathered the hearth
Spilling Earth
And sawdust
They drove all wolves into slum
Of nothing the sum
Child reveals
The raging terrors
Laughter peals
Through the night
Shadows extension of light
In coin twin birthright
Web woven
Within waning stars
Only Heart
Keeps the Sight
Unwoven coils delight
Twining Venus Mars
