Calligraphied by the Sun’s Sonnets
Calligraphied by the sun’s sonnets
In the intrigues past the old embers
Of dancing courtesans
Of fae shivas and fading lights
And the click of castanets
City flickers
A trinket tailor watches the clocks and washes his hands
A rainbow lands at the feet of an upsid’d down leprachaun
Unfurling an open archway whereupon
18th century chaos explorers set their maps and time the sun
Taliesin, Esmeralda, Moonweed, Ruby, Ether, Septicus Androgynous,
the Oriental magi and the lavender boys
Starspelled and Sparkle
The Oracle and Orchestra
On fairy wings part the stars
Stop counting in the fire
And put your blossoms on
Watched by his twinkling eyes
These streets are never empty they are always rolling
These streets are never empty they are always rolling
City flickers
