Gypsy Myth
Gypsy GirlText Box: Gypsy Myth Oh Gypsy Girl fable outside of all time Greek slaves dream of freedom’s chime; crossing turbulent water this wolf swims, Scorpion Athena to his soft fur clings. Oh Gypsy Girl I now dance for you, let me show your door, to another world; apple came with angry serpent’s tongue, devil’s trick in simple hymns we sung. Oh Gypsy-girl bite dice with your teeth your total stone throw splits free a thief, blank surfaces of ashen bone can write when fireflies fill a lantern with delight. Oh Gypsy Girl I have no more tears, venom in blind eyes numbs all fears. shift your shape into true Eros form; or, sting my death, love forever borne. Oh Gypsy Girl constellations stories tell, starry words dance our firmament swell: Howling embers spin, and we are gone; A warrior woman, and a trickster’s song. Jim Larwill
