#Anserine #poetry
two black crows cawing
in the leafy sycamore,
earthbound a magpie
earthbound a magpie
seeks his missing mate
two for joy
two for joy, three for
a girl, four for a boy
five for silver
five for silver, six for
gold seven – a secret
never to be told
never to be told
some stories fade away
like Hallow'een ghosts
like Hallow'een ghosts
the ancestors draw near
to our hearth and home
to our hearth and home
the Goddess of the forge
shining her bright flame
shining her bright flame
Brighid writes her poetry
far into all souls day
far into all souls day
the day of the dead, we find
earthbound –a magpie
earthbound –a magpie
in the leafy sycamore,
two black crows cawing
