pies, cakes and ale 

we went so far as to say 
this year 
this Beltane 
we would tame the shrew again 
we shoot into the dark 
hoping poke holes became a sky 
that lies with its pretty diamond insides 
falling, ever falling past this deigned disguise 

death is a light 
what inside you never leaves 

the kindly crone 
with an apple 
another newborn 
another determinate reason 
season after season 
we plant apple seeds only to see 
different crusts, varieties arise 

when autumn comes 
we spy the best stands 
demand nothing of our eyes 
we let our noses 
know we are 
willing to surrender 
for how memory 
returns, wafting 
odiferously 
from maypole 
twining hopes, 
what joys do 

cakes and ale 
pies too, all  
on a window sill 
the return light 
filled
