Sometimes you hear better when you listen softly.

For M.

Special thanks to Javolenus (guitar) and Audiotechnica (piano) for once again providing the sonic inspiration and support. Their source material is stunning. Also, thanks to Smojos for hitting the drum a bit for me.

THE QUEEN OF WANDS

the queen of wands is broken
she didn’t see it coming
her strength
she took for granted
her light never ending
The queen of wands is regal
her dignity supports her
as she calls up her armies
to help her face the forces
of unwanted intruders
crossing her borders

I will follow her in battle
she is my sister

she has a deep heart
and deep hurt
a deep wish for forgiveness
skin pale and tender
inviting caresses
brilliant in the darkness
the bright side of disaster
I want to help her face
unprecedented danger

I will follow her in battle
she is my sister
