Happy Shakespeare Day!
Written for Paul Brookes' ekphrastic challenge - one poem a day in April 2021.
Magic Afoot
Spins in blackness
Eye of newt
moon on fire
and toe of frog
in a circle of light
wool of bat
and raging desire
and tongue of dog
Adder's fork
she speaks in tongues and blind-worm's sting
when night quells day
Lizard's legher heartbeat slows
and owlet's wing
he's going to pay
When shall we three meet again?
Him, and her, in endless pain....
