Fable
One fabulous fabled night,
Deep in the greenwood,
A famous wizard gave us a story without meaning:
Or so it then seemed. At the time
I had parted with my half-secret self,
My twin, embedded in my heart,
But the wizard's prayer awoke me in thin air
Drove us apart,
Tears stained my cheeks. I was no longer meek and mild.
No longer a child.
My heart was broken, like that of a man, and I became fierce and bold.
In my left hand I carried the stain of a fabled name, until death stole my soul away
I became a writer of fresh black words in a theatre of the absurd
The magician's prayer awoke my tears. Mary mother of God help me for I have sinned.
She was not a stepmother of a King, but a wild child, a woman of the woods,
Without jewels or a 'roof,' her son created deadly desires, his prayer awoke my tears.
(The most recent, the finest of them all, the end of years.)
