So taken aback was I by the vantage from the tower of my own land’s confines that I gripped hard the balustrade to stop my moorless soul from taking flight
Trees either side of me Like I’m moving sweetly, fleetly, like a carried leaf Down the Anduin If you are born to be King then the lakelady will hand you it An anvil’s weight this unnamed crown leadlike with light-leaking jewels Fine rooms and suites, sweet things Lingering tastes, eyries; high peaks and tubular towers…

Vampress
I. Strong, vain men I can silence with one withering look No truck me with jamb-hung onions and planks depicting suffering Jesus In the damp, cloying darkness of a moon-bathed dungeon Forth crawls She dry-mouthed, affixed on destruction Spiderlike she climbs ceiling-height Spite-exuding she weaves false light illusions in childrens’ rooms She is the whisperer…
