She was a parasite A pumpkin-head A fire breathing squall. When the birds came She screamed her curse: I’ll ***** an eyelash Timelapse Into the desert blue. Then so the birds Flew back to their eerie To wait another day In the desert blue without a coo. And while they’d wait She’d spill her pumpkin head All over her cloudy domain. And the birds cried out “Mab oh Mab! End this mortal curse And stop the Timelapse!” Parasite Girl Now Paradise Girl Blessed of the birds.

The Girl & The Birds
Chasing fallen Aspen trees Screaming out into the breeze Running, running, can’t catch me Out here in the Ashen trees Ashes of the Aspen trees Burnt down beauty, No matter to me If you call out They’ll answer thee Fairies once in Aspen trees Falling, falling, Fallen leaves Spinning off along the breeze Spiraling onto the ground Make sure not to make a sound Summon spirits in the trees Reach your hand out to thee A touch of faith, It’s time to leave The Fairies’ dying Aspen Trees

Aspen Trees
The honeybee delights in her perch Crooning ageless songs to the tussore silk petals A low thrum in the sweet saffron **** A brush of honey around her entrance She is the fae Moth, too Stumbling to reach the pendulous light in a drunken merriment Dancing shadows over dry walls A thin imitation of butterfly Who is fae, too Centipede and silverfish Body full of a thousand darting eyes Cautious, careful, carried On the tips of toddler's fingers Crawling, cradled In the impregnable hands of a careless child Wingbeats like a dreary applause In the dew-soaked trellis The labyrinth of gossamer thread Arachne is prideful. Escape, escape, There is a minute sound of a spider weeping Dry, Like sand through an hourglass As she wraps the children in viscid cloth Drier still are the ghosts crackling as tiny feet Navigate the cicada grave Skin grows tighter and tighter Summer is over now

Tiny Faries
“Yes”, she said. Braced fast, I stood. My face did then bloom red And I trembled ‘neath my hood. Reeling free of constraint, Rapt in shock, my mind Searched for words valiant, An ardent echo to find. But shaking visibly o’ertook me And nonchalance took flight. My devoted flame took pity, Her empathetic smile came to light. “My love”, she whispered. “My heart!” I urged. Our hot blood blistered As our fevered limbs merged.   The dark room spun around us And moon-lit fairies showed their wings! Our frenzied dance evinced no locus In the celebration this night brings! The vast distance of time I endured Until this impetuous embrace befell Has been unbearable and belabored; All my hope had drained to Hell. But all at once my life was liberated, For tumbling down came her love! I never believed I would feel this exhilarated, Joined as one to her heart from above.

Yes She Said
in the desert, she waits for what? no one knows she has sand in her long brown hair which sparkles on the setting sun’s rays she wears  a necklace of large white shells and long flowing green robes over her naked body opening to show two pale hairless legs in the desert she paints scenes from her brain full of color and glitter pouring a bit from the edges of every person she has ever encountered with pointed ears and gossamer wings she wears a crown of sea **** and ***** sleep at her feet she listens, alone, as the ocean speaks its vibrant blue waves a lullaby so sweet her eyes are two clear crystals reflecting the light as sea gulls caw and mosquitoes buzz she buries her toes in cold sand and leans against the craggy worn rock painting, silently, crying salt water tears as her thin paper wings lie in a tattered heap ripped at the shoreline getting ****** in by the ocean’s strong pull disappearing into the froth of waves while the sun’s bald head slips into streamline

The Crystal Fairy
When I was young, My ma would say: "Beware the Sidhe And Faerie Rings." When I was young? When I was young, My ma would say: "Bring tea and cakes So they'll be gay." When was I young? When I was young, My ma would say: "They'll keep you safe, Or take you 'way." Am I human?      *"Alabaster!      I am Leannán.      This one whispered      To you, sweet boy."* Alabaster?      *"Your name! Your name!      Your spirit i claimed.      A vow you made,      And now you've paid."* With you I'll stay!      *"Among my folk?      Keep fast your yoke,      Or flesh will fade      And farewells bade."* A song! A song!      *"Your song, my love,       You've sang it well,      And flowers laid      For our parade."* When I was young, My ma would say: "Beware the Sidhe And Faerie Rings." When I was young, My ma would say: "Bring tea and cakes So they'll be gay." When i was young, My ma would say: "They'll keep you safe, Or take you 'way."      *A Faerie Friend      Forever more.*

A Faerie Trade (please see notes for pronunciation)
Can you see? Can you see?! Where the Faye roam free, Where the earth and the sky are one in the night. Can you see, can you see? Where the Faries fly free, And dance in the light of the moon shining bright. Can you hear? Can you hear?! The laughter of the lutes,and the songs of the Stars. As they pull you to their world, too enchanted to run. Can you hear, Can you hear? The songs of the Sirens trying to beguile, And the tunes of the Naiads calling you to drown, Into the depths of the water, of which they both ware the Crown.
