The Mad Enchanter Dances
for Sister Alice
for Penelope Dugan, and for Eric Wallace
the Past
Sister, somewhere…land is burning…
the people grow… out of agony…
Somewhere strange, wondrous:
other voices, sunlit cadence…
…folk rejoice.
the Hope
Corn of the soil, doorways of childhood.
…Youth!
…What place we might envision…
the Dancing
There are fires, there be Autumn, and the land
has spun about…
…About! Again!…
We might walk, shift our way, around fires,
through the land,
…Again! Again!…
Sister we may: leap!… transcend the fires…
…Walk about, though the land…
…About!…Again!…
