I think I broke something

I think I broke my brain sometime in the last week.



Currently lacking a title:

Sat 30th September 2006

Starward-sailing god
of things underneath
the seas your heavens
son of Lear, were you not
swan-winged once?

No, that was another Lear
a different king
child-lost and grieving.
I misremember.

The myths keep changing
and the years, turning
was there once a greening man
or was he burning?

Had I forgot?
Or was it a dream,
Niamh tossing her golden hair,
fair Fionn by the salmon-stream?

Ulster's hound and Macha's mare
found no fairer wake
among the moss
the myth was memory
and mine is lost.

Charioteer, white-maned
and wave-riding
your steeds remain.
