Sunasker

Hands marked with effort-denoting gashes

Dawn men kneel before sacred ashes

Asking a dashing handsome sun for answers

Flints are dashed, asking sparks

Fire not yet mastered, all that will come after seems hyena laughter

Pinioned choirs sing Her hymns, heads inclined inquiringly.


At world’s remaking

A lake becoming a mirror

A glade replaces a midden

Past the formless glamour of damaging witching hours, casted solar spells

Draw the world with milked fire

Two mighty oaks quaking, like leaf-cloaked champions in quarrel

Before the combat trial of a rake no jury would pronounce innocent.
