The Giant of LisbellawStood I there, that last day,

To ponder my worth
So tiring I mostly sit...

through the green

mulch for rebirth
the subcontinent
conscientious conscience
inward reaching
the divine central tableau...

Imbolc, a day also rich in folklore.

sunny weather on Candlemas
means a long winter.
The tradition is...

cold as a witch's t*t

unwanted,
