Random acts of poetry- The empire of thoughts.

Votive offering.

A cold wind blows the chaff across
the street as woven dollies are borne
aloft to honour the spirit of the barleycorn.
Beaten sword from stone, withdrawn,
sharpened to a razor's edge, a silken cloth
is dropped to test which craftsman is best.
Twisted metal in rivers bed cast by penitents,
manifested words of kindness never said.
Offerings worth are never listed, no orator
or note taker could record the whispered
names of dreams carved upon ogham beams.
This is why, when boldly caught, fey approval
must be sought before you tell what you
wished you’d thought.
