THAT BLACKSMITH FELLOW (The mythological blacksmith of folklore)
crumpling
crumbling
heart
war thump
peace pump
stall start
cave hunting
and gathering
in groups
to farms with crops
and hoofed livestocks
drink beer, eat meat and soups.
that blacksmith fellow,
with fire and forge, hammer and bellow,
is still the alchemist-
malleous like his mettles
when everybody settles
into civil lists.
in us now,
the subliminal plough
sets our furrows footsteps-
so summer's run and winter's plod,
with, or without god
in and out of upsets.
