Cast

So it began --
that sooty hole
where trolls with cutlasses
and flickering giants grabble;
miscarrying pipe springing
echoes that rhyme.

Mirrors there, and there --
shawled mirrors, like liquid bombs.

Painted horses, blushing potions,
Joan of Arc, Cleopatra and Chanel.
Some were solid, forged, and some
were pure, like sand.

I was cast there,
then I was stranded here.

~Carolyn Smale.
