Talking to Tricksters

Travails, talks, and trials

By Kylie TPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

The trickster tornadoes thaumaturgy threads

to tall-tale tangles

threatens thunderstorms to terrorise

temperamental thickets

tempts travellers towards their tipping

till their thinking turns to timber-turbulent topography

too thorn-toothed to truly trust.

The twisting, trancing terrain

turns trickery trail

tripping those thunderstruck towards the

timelessness that tiptoes through the twilight

twixt trees tormenting the tomb-trail

troposphere to tabescence.

Teeth tear through throats

too tenderhearted to turncoat truths to traps

twitch towards those too thrilled to trek through

terraneous thunder-temples to thanklessness

taking

taking

taking

till they’re taught to temper textual tempests

to translate thankfulness to tarnish.

Today, the trickster’s tumultuous tirade turns to tender tidings:

'Transfuse transcendence to thy thorax

take the traces tip-toeing through thoughtlines

turn them trailblazing towards the truth.

Trust thyself.'
