CORNER WITCH II

|
what would you lack
|
|
had you a magic cloak
|
|
that, come three twirls,
|
|
would turn you into a bird black?
|
|
|
|
the whole world would become my nest,
|
|
and I would roam the world,
|
|
never returning home,
|
|
not even at parents' behest
|
|
|
|
I wish that I could say
|
|
that that would be the end of my problems,
|
|
gaining mobility,
|
|
that everything would then turn out okay:
|
|
|
|
but I have not yet come to terms
|
|
with the fact I have too much baggage,
|
|
too many trinkets I would need to bring along,
|
|
unless I wanted to shrink my whole world down to a single worm
|
|
|
|
and while inside I may be an animal,
|
|
divine creature begging to break through my skin,
|
|
I must treat this body as human,
|
|
lest I break down and become unwell
|
|
