Whowhenia

when I
a rock-chucking stick-slasher

patch-monger
was

there was a waterless
		well

where we would await sprites and goblins in ambush


shoe-lace lariats
piles of rock for cannonade

this and all  all the angels
at bay

for there is nothing gay grisly meaner than

restless
idleness

caked with efflorescing dandelions
raging raiding sun

Whowhenia...Holy Cowhenia. I like the last line...how there's no let-up to the pace and dizzying energy.
