So I followed the hazel hen into the thicket,
being a woman
whose hungers are veiled in green
It's the hunter, not the hunt, that I desire,
being a slice
of meat off the human bone
Ribbons silvered and beads!
A fragment of mirror sewn into an o.
One of the seven bedeviled
heels clicking to the celestial
& damnable toll
of the abducted bell
Scatter a fistful
of gemstones to clatter on the flagstones
Now that I've taken fairy food
Never again to eat or sleep
Izzy lives in a fishbowl wedged between the roots of a tree.
