Memories—grandparents
long dead. Roots—

Oh, great and all knowing
spiritual father
of sky, and mother of earth:
heal the madness of my
external mind with the

night dreams ... My branches

you, and cast their leaves
back to your vaulted harvest-sky, and
I, with...

“According to legend, the only way to get rid of the Duende's attention was for the maiden to eat while sitting in the outhouse. If he was looking to mate, why would that deter him?”

for the fat cats on the Osaka...
