soothing dearnative murmurs
today the belly rumbles
for over kway the shrieker grifts
using stolen needles to sew dark threads
into our fascinating familial line
grant us an enchanted patience
as we invoke the corners four
the raging darling winds of turn
to carry them aside
like crooked gossamer in the churn
