[paraphrase of a Svan folk song]

Tamar's mother said, "Tamar,
You were born fully grown.
Child, I saw you in a dream
I looked into the starlit sky and saw
That you were the village
And you were the world."...

Don't eat the bear 
and the bear won't eat you
Don't stomp on flowers
Don't spit on the dew
If you are a bad person
your life will worsen
But if you are good  
then there's no need for cursin' 
Yoi yoi la la la la yoi yoi la....

Secret Identity
"Are you a boy or a girl"?

Angry Dad asked son five times

Dunked in water,  his answer:

Son: (gasping)  "Mermaid!"

Sadly Confused
He said he was a "woman",

Just trapped in a wrong body.

When time came he had to pee-

Used the room.... for "Men".

That Magic
Eyes locked in dreamy gaze make

Hearts beat in suspended time,

When Love's magic fills the air

Reason's in a trance.

I Don'T Know What To Call This Either
Door shut, no way into her heartless chest.
What's that sound I hear? Just another folk song being sung by some sane passerby.
While he sings I'm in this shell waiting for the next day.
No one knows my true pain or my struggles.
The pain in my chest and in my head are too great to explain.
But you all know the struggles that I face.
If you don't know then I guess you better read more....

Love Like Raindrops
Love, like raindrops falling down

Embraced the dried barren earth

Each drop a soothing caress

That softens... and wins.

Oregon's Wizard Island Folk, Song



          Windswept shave emulsifies the face 
of the Lake.
The fowl in the air bnb, giggles,
as it scans for exfoliant fish to delicate.
She put her order in over thirty minutes ago.
Well before the Cranes and the Eagles,
but maybe they ordered to go?
Wizard Isle, 
if you're gonna act like a French snob 
then I will complain about the lack of salt,
(waiter)
how hard is your job?
Why this is culinary assault, inn 'salt !
