JIGGY Mag - 1. Through My Eyes

Gard'ner
On frameless days I wonder, How my heart would take
to meeting, An angel, on a magpie‟s night.
Would this heart of mine suffer, Palpitations, as he said
he loved another? Indebted are my eyes, for he is too
bright.
He'd hark of “light through yonder”, And these glass
eardrums would break. Unsealing my watchful window.
Would he unhinge his wings for me? Bestow them at
my feet, an offering? I pray for the felled jackdaw.
Would he kiss the lids of my blinded eyes, If he absorbed
the reflection in the orbs, And saw, Mother Medusa
in his place?
For every serpent head of his he'd sever, I'd grow him
another, at my own demise. And take his place as
Gard‟ner of Eden.
Would he ground himself with spirits, And then spew
his cataplectic soul, To me? It would be a crow‟s caw.
I think, if I should meet this dove-boy, My duty is to put
him back, In his tree, he'd sing songs of love to me.
