and thyme
Time
yellow skirts around
the edges of
OBLIVION
toes of garnet
toes of greenwood
stars
block
mythological doorways

more ink
what a waste of ink
garnets speckle

giving them blood
and bruises
and life.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.
