Magic
Innocent are they who cause no harm,
Nor seek to bind with artifice or charm,
But loving all of life in pure delight,

Monsters

Other leaves broad, webbed, open palms in mid-slap shiver on...

An exotic vacation
No one to referee that game, Poor fledglings, with their heads thrown back And mastered hips joined to their shame, Are lonely partners on the rack.

House
In the ruined land, the house upon the hill lays waiting I enter, look around. The corridor stretches far ahead Every room brimming with secret delights I search for booty through the boxes plied high, through drawers and cupboards Magical items everywhere; too much to carry…
