- CORNER WITCH II
- 2020-12-07
- ***
- what would you lack
- had you a magic cloak
- that, come three twirls,
- would turn you into a bird black?
- the whole world would become my nest,
- and I would roam the world,
- never returning home,
- not even at parents' behest
- I wish that I could say
- that that would be the end of my problems,
- gaining mobility,
- that everything would then turn out okay:
- but I have not yet come to terms
- with the fact I have too much baggage,
- too many trinkets I would need to bring along,
- unless I wanted to shrink my whole world down to a single worm
- and while inside I may be an animal,
- divine creature begging to break through my skin,
- I must treat this body as human,
- lest I break down and become unwell
