Supplying nerves of glass to your blue roots
Immersed in soil of blood of fairies
Murdered with concoctions of white berries
Poisoned by a lioness’ offshoots
After someone fell a tree of her dreams
On away camping with the moon-blade teams.
More of the nerves of glass they got to find
On burning the bush that
she left behind
Last year’s wasted harvest before the spring
Unbalancing the rain winter did bring
Among daisy flowers in a farmstead
Bearing fruits of sunshine for homestead
In an empire beneath a riverbed
When a river of time was badly bled.
