a hastily slid in wish


a hastily slid in wish
benigno numine
looked askance at
in the glarier moments of light
ow, lux
this most basic need
dis aliter visum
in particular parameters
would be fine
dante Deo
but it’s not worth admitting

This is a briary one, well-packed. I'm glad I was able to find the Latin all on the same web page. Dare we look on the other side of that fortune?

This has echoes of the Unkindness Saga.

Funny that. I wrote this after prepping the boys for flight.
