Reading ‘I Shall Wear
Midnight’ I whirl,
hallucinating my own
making, becoming
my own protagonist, everyone
becomes
Wintersmith turning into
eyeless men
stalking everything good
Prosecuted not knowing how
darkness
would lift, Wizard
Eskarina entered so
Tiffany could understand,
she must
dance again; forces
unleashed solving
enduring winter by giving
a death-
dealing kiss
to the snow spirit
Everywhere it threatens
goodness; evil
of hatred created slain
ages ago by witch-
hunting victim’s frenzy of
misguided zeal –
all social comment based
on reality, a
Dark Ages Spanish
Inquisition when the
religion of Om, the one
god, misused
To suppress and subdue,
the Age of Reason
yet to come to require use
of verifiable
sensory evidence to
determine meaning of
guilt and secure freedom
for the innocent –
I had to stop reading, too
much meaning,
overwhelming emotion and
feeling
