: : ... Or may I join in? : : Manifesto : : I am not a unicorn, : : but if you flaunt a veteran spear : : and use it to excuse your vacant helmet, : : or if the bait of your heart : : has been pierced by cruelty or callousness, : : then I will flee the sight of you : : for the healing sanctuary of my forest, : : or impale you, sneering hunter, : : on the point of my scorn. : : I am not a paper doll, : : but if your demands pull all ways at once, : : I cannot help being torn asunder, : : or if your flame leaps too high, : : I will burn and be consumed, : : down to a wisp of smoke and a curl of ash, : : leaving nothing behind but regrets. : : I am not a crystal goblet, : : but if you open the height of your hand, : : I will fall into a myriad shimmering fragments : : in the grave-clasp of the floor. : : Yet if instead you find me a careful niche, : : I might have the liberty to wait, : : or if you hold me with a smile, : : you can share my ripening wine : : that is replenished with your own. : : Judith/Teityan : Say no more Judith ...Beautiful and the hidden message understood
