20 April 2026

Dionysus at the MatinéeI came

Postscript to Venus in FurVenus has her way with him,

Anima SongAnima, you are my life-song, the essence,

Beyond Good and EvilShe is moving

Tell Me I'm PrettyShe scans the crowd for faces

Beneath the Willow BoughI will rise and go now

Burn What Must BurnThe mad goddess often takes the form

New AdventuresI stumble over brambles, into

Mild BitternessShe offers the promise of an easy release,

Animus PossessionShe walks angry, surely right,

Find Your Way HomeLost and confused, too broken

DreamingDreaming only goes so far.

New VitalitySpring brings with it a new vitality,

ScattershotTwo birds fly scattershot
