Library Spell

Spell for HW Library 

Top of the morning, wingspan guardians
of the Library! Rising uncharacteristically 
early, giving me time to nod hello before
I pass into whirlwind oblivion, 
bull sagging down an isle of teacups:
shattering morning stillness, sickness endures. 

Wide eyed wisdom minions, scrying me 
puff away in the rain, house me,
my words, my fellowship, forgive
me not yet stepping through your 
doors. Fear, pride, imperial demands,
the tax and wax of Chicago: all these

served to (mis)place our union. Soon, ark of arcs, 
I shall present my weary covenant.
