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