New Thing

 The sky is blue

& something new

My watch says, "Now!"

I'll eat a cow

People get ready for the New Thing

Be New

Dawning of the Gods

Why do fools envision twilight?

Chasing the End of Night,

Peering through the grey 

illuminated by the grace of the fallen one,

how do they fail to see what's coming?

The golden-haired princess

returns from her uncle's palace

of gloom, gently turning the

wheel that crushes snakes,

while worms wiggle free.
