Catblack the wizard's hat
|
Spun in lore from Dagamoor
|
The skull of jade was pearl inlaid
|
The silks, skin spun, repelled the Sun
|
A tusk of boar with dwarfish awe
|
Sobs on the door where stood before
|
A mountain man with sky-blue teeth
|
Upon his head a python's wreath
|
A deer he slew in the dawning's dew
|
Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew.
|
|
A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass
|
Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past
|
A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold
|
Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old
|
But his kiss he held and shadowed for the spell of nights are strong
|
And spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song
|
|
Catblack the wizard's back
|
Daubed in doom in his tounge tombed room
|
We of the wind must rejoice and speak
|
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek.
