Lady Morgan Conjures the Faeries
by Sonia Elizabeth Di Placido
O come
little creatures of fly-like fashion
celebrate the ancient birthright
bestowed upon you
before Shakespeare
ascribed each wing
rise little creatures
flicker and flee
swing erratic
noiseless buzzing and bobbing
your fanciful zigzags bloom
little creatures of myth and mayhem
quicker than fireflies
mimic the angels
from your rooted legends
and the faery lands of chimera
little creatures frolic in unison
proffer humans with
an epicene mystique
such playful charms
are unisex breathing-room
little creatures
dancing to harpsichord tunes
mischief brews among
each invisible delicate dream
priceless is your felted heart of joy
little creatures hover
your festivities
possess the wanton madness
among mid-air gleams
glitter over Star-spangled dust
O come
enchanted Faeries
we give up our vulva magic
to the wandering lust!
