F is for Fabulist

The Fabulist

it’s not my story

but I shall speak to you of it

where it began?

in the earth

in the earth is where all

things are born

and die

the vortex

threw out the bloodied, burning beginnings

and the red dirt burns its way into the flesh

a tattooed tale

tum ta ta tum

tum ta ta tum

sing the saga to the winds

small seeds, scurrying, seeking

a  homeland that the threads reach

from the beginning

talking tales

teach the small ones to grow

straight of limb

but

supple of the soul

it is not for me to condemn

symbols given

leading

tides to carry

the burden back to the beginning
