Canto Three
♥ ♥ ♥
Crow obsidian crystal
Found on the ground
I polished and sanded
Until it was round
Dr. J. Dee taught us how to scry
And there’s the pajama party game:
Say Bloody Mary 3 times
And you may die
Yet, if Queen Mary likes you
Your future husband you’ll see
True love or will he make you cry?
Reading, computing, straining eyes all day
There’s something restful staring at
A black-backed mirror to hide away
But oh those scenes to see
Different than a bright crystal ball
Where the mind invents shapes
By sun or candlelight
Obsidian, though,
Works its protective glow
And we just know
Continue to you, waiting
At the edge of the world
Because
This vision is exhilarating…
