The month of April passed
without any showers
elf tears do not suffice
so May flowers struggle
where shall bees and faeries
flit and pirouette now
Plastic iron radio waves
proud symbols of mankind’s progress
modern wards to keep the fae at bay
letting us safely watch TikTok
somewhere a puckish garden grows
a refuge from technology
and its child metamodern angst
far from this dull castle and cage
Please accept this offering
my soul yearns for rain’s kind caress
