The Tricaptra

~~for Goya's Witches

Palms shuffle below whispers,
-he’s as light as a feather-
-he’s as light as a feather-
-he’s as light as a feather-
then slip underneath.

Potential derived in hearts enters hands,
threads through heads, then
magically zooms up witches’ hats—
a tricaptra that conjures lift.

A sacrificial rising
offers up a serial sinner.
The donkey hangs its head, and
men tremble under closed tight eyes
failing to believe what they see.

As the tricaptra gathers force,
it sucks more & more serial sinners
high into the moon’s blue nimbus,
to feed its constant glow.
