Kindling is placed in the forest<br />for the lightning god’s celebration. Over here,<br /><br />unknown creatures, like Bear-pig, with his human face,<br />take their leave, unmourned, and I hope your heart is stirred<br />as Horse-men must ready their stirrups for a race.<br /><br />An old passion seeks heroes and friends who are young<br />though the bell of the city bike needs a good clean.<br />On the hill is a ladder with a broken rung.<br /><br />The shepherd cries, “Hey, voters are deluded fools!<br />The hour of choosing a global hoax has arrived!<br />I gave you the warming notion, here are your tools.’Deadman Turnernoreply@blogger.com
