there is a story of things unspoken.
furtive and tentative we wait
for shamen or witches to soothsay uncertainty.
seeking wide-eyed and restless, finally
the evocation falls through the tree-fingers on starlight:
"pack a talisman for the journey
one that presents several faces.
hold it close to your chest
when the sirens come a'calling."
and we set off
walking in circles.
