BRIDE OF SET
NEATH THE AUTUMN TREE
WILLOW WASP

Down where shore meets sky
on bended knee to drink
in reflection spied me
her eye reflecting, sees.
Overshoulder she spins round
tossing tresses coloured brown
half-expecting nothing found
-- monolithic being astound.
I offer her a cup to drink
she takes it from me gingerly
dips beneath the water's flow
and drank its cool nice and slow.
Wordlessly we gaze a while
that chance ******************
***********************
and notch eleven on her dial.

Oft at night I return
wet my finger in the lake
to cool that sim'ring burn
-- no mere memory can slake.
I trace my hand ************,
feel the sting of summer nights,
-- and shone like stars in truth
the amber lights of fireflies.
For in the boughs a paper nest;
unlike bees ****************
majestic creature some call pest
Queen Wasp' *****************.
************ is holding fast
Willow witch, it's my noble birth
********, we want endure
********* woman of highest worth.
