brooks and meadows,
books and measurements
where the editor became the troll

it was there around the camp fire or under that tree at the tollgate gasping travelers scrambling a coin grasping a writer’s breath for a review piercing with needle daggers of cloaked anonymity

are the wolves circling at the edge of the forest
as overtones to the grass crisp dew in morning of a fresh authentic thought

is the troll appearing from beneath the bridge expected and yet not and yet there it is truthful in its grandness grotesqueness loudness

the troll phishing gaslighting ghosting and not canceling until the words have been boned and the carcass is feasted upon

spat out you shall be wordly traveler blasted with conjured phrases of bile as magically as dark magic may shimmer shiny composition

the ephemeral creature wants not truth it wants riddle and confuse not halting not passing no period no comma nor a dash of interjection connection nor humane reflection

at the bridge truth is priced as the mud on worn down feet recycled hashed and sprinkled in authoritative tone you shall not pass

confusing adventure protector gatekeeper with stony skin clubs and confabulating foam Clutch Helplessly And Tremblingly Grab Pulped Truths from thereon end real nor reason has not thy home: as it ever was, so it shall be.

A bird sings its brisk tune.
