dymphna
anno_salutis the thick forest
hid the little stag,
spoken of in rumors
seen here or there
and in inconstancy
and the matrix
of sight
effused throughout the woods.

in some deep center
she escapes
and all the children
would look for her in the woods
and when one was lost
they'd say he was
off with Dymphna
off with the fairies

in a dark wood
at the edge of town
here and not here
sought by fathers and mothers
to be loved
to be killed
to be returned empty husked
no longer suitable
for town life
having been uprooted
and re-rooted
in the dark woods.

little stag
pray for us.
