Alterations
I want a hero of a certain type,
a muse who gabs for newer garb
custom-made for archetype
of shape shifter, a tarot card
hermit who emerges without hype
or hardened heart,
an orphan of the night tilting light
by walking backward,
Magritte’s chapeau to alight
from gallery to weary guard,
surreal to set things right,
a little prince to free the sword
as words from stone, to see
the stone as notes for poesy.
