Vu Murt by the Ocnus Weave



read by darian


Bare your feet,
Walk them within the windrows
For what winkling may be had of candlewicks
From the cobbler's eye. Wake him, and he will unravel
The river from his side, sculpt her speech of minnows
And roll her in watery moccassins to go roam
About your stride, brush the blackness from his shoulders
By the tines of dragonflies.

You will find him naked in an eternity
Of dulcian strains, at the pedal-point of every bend
In the bluish fugue's mossy diluendo. Embossed beneath
The froth, each stylus fin shall have writ his name, with haydust
Ormolu in branding locks along the flow. Wake him,
And the cupping hands will dampen in each ducal dream
Taken curdled from an Adder's gum.

Covet him in a key-turn
From a kerchief's swirl; Paint his lips
In daffodils and pull them from a pooling whirl;
Burn him in the orchard, enfold him in the gardens,
Answer nothing to his silence but a nightly string of pearls,
Fling the night in salvos til the meadowlark unfurls.
