oh, woodenhead
come in from the rain
quit your thefts
seeking a beauty
outside for a one
that is within
all crows make argue
for your eyes—
you do not use them
anyway, they say
instead, my woodenhead
you are a' thieving out
in the pouring rain
woodenhead

Well, now. On first take this seems to be to be one of your best, but I can’t really even say why. What do you think?
I’m glad that I was able to get back to the essence of what I am trying to evoke. I got distracted for a while there. I can’t rate my own writing, I’m too close to it. But it is leaning into that outré/otherworldly/folklore feel I’ve tapped into on occasion.
It’s good
🙏🏼
