Poem: Wish

 

Wish

 

the trees could have been

the ‘scaries’ in Where

The Wild Things Are

and the gravel was a mystical

walk in way too real fogbanks where

unseen insects whirred in magnitudes and

ecstasies of universal chime but then

an owl like six-cloaks-built-

into-the-body-of-a-warlock swooped

a sigil of defiance until a star dared to profess,

slipping through the shapeless roam of

a fluid cirrus to tilt some vagabond game. 

what rules were these, anyhow,

and could, really, a faraway

wish-hungry poet ever win?
