Weaver |
I steep the wool in a cauldron |
Of pummelled gall-nuts afloat in urine |
Add river-water thrice-boiled with a bloodstone |
Then let it breathe |
Under the beams |
While I prepare the lichen |
Half a fist of wizardbeard and rock-tripe |
Yields a dye enough the whole town to paint |
Lavenders an echo of the beeswing |
Dazzling foxgloves ashake in the salty wind |
It looks like a thundercloud |
Suspended from the gables |
High above the bobbing heads |
Which now and then look up to see what’s dripping on them |
So we begin |
Feeding it in |
Combing through the fibres gently |
Searching for a yarn to spin |
My lady takes a nasty tumble |
Down the crumbled steps of the merchants guild |
Precipitating the early onset of labour |
There is a crab |
Caught in her hair |
Stretchering through the market |
Fearful are the bellows to behold |
Even with the spindle firmly clenched between her teeth |
With a snap the baby’s head emerges |
Onto the sodden eiderdown bedpages |
Even though the new born child |
Is not my kin |
And still lies dangling by a string |
I ken the rising mystery of love |
My very ancient friend |
