Where has brother bird gone?
Asks dog to sly fox
He is tempted in shadows
caught in twisting maze
cuckold with clover honey
and horns of thorny bramble
He has left us to sway
in dead breeze
our faces loosened
grins too tight
We'll feed our bellies
offal and
dead grass
Stiff bodies to greet the
dawning of day
when brother bird returns too late
to sing blood back to royal throne
Come, all trace buries now
in dead light and heavy stone
Hide madness with me
friend dog
To earth and rooted cellar; there
burning pyre
smolders in the dark -
Goblin King will soon be by.
