while in n'awlins
last october
i went walkin
down the district
window shoppin
for some new thing
other vendors
didn't have
...
in a junk box
in a corner
in a dark shop
sellin voodoo
was an old book
stained and dusty
that my hand just
had to grab
...
laced together
wood and leather
strung with rawhide
bound in black chain
chunky papered
ink grey faded
as it warmed it
reeked of mold
...
copper scripted
on the inside
of the cover
eyelash thinly
were the words here
i impart you
do sit down dear
while you read
...
"Dearest Daughters,
My Descendants,
(and I Pray you
number vastly),
Have you noticed
something Diff'rent
you can do that
others can't?
~*~
Could be Healing,
maybe Finding,
White Light Bringer?
Fever Taker?
Spirit guider,
Great Peacemaker?
Weather Dancer?
Heaven knows!
~*~
In your Blood line
there is Magic,
you're Descended
from the Others:
You may look Strange,
or be Fragile,
sometimes Say things
you don't Know.
~*~
You're created
Something Wondrous,
to be Cherished,
and Serve people...
Hold your Head up!
You're the Planet's
newest Blessing,
perfect Child.
~*~
In this Guidebook
you are holding
are Directions,
and some Warnings,
from the learnings
we've all passed down...
(I'm the First one
who could Write!)
~*~
Go forth Wisely,
and stay Humble,
always Cleanly,
Kindly spoken,
Self Protecting,
subtle Prophet
of the new age
where you dwell."
...
so i bought it
quite excited
and i packed it
on my harley
rolled in all my
dirty clothing
just to pad it
from the ride
...
well i read it
and it turns out
after research
and some money
to the right palms
that her blood line
is the self same
one as mine
...
its amazing
all the wonders
i can manage
with some effort
***
(Oh, that's Bragging,
and not Humble...)
***
i'll be off now
you be good
