Keeper of the Circle
Don Hynes
April 4, 2014
Julia kept the circle,
her love against the chaos
from the genie in his bottle,
released on all their plans
except the one in her heart;
no innocent fancy,
just raw desire
burning for a future
writ in the ancient tongue,
spoken to the gods
ruthless and unafraid,
not the gentle lamb
but the she wolf,
protective of her own,
her womb the only wealth,
the blood sacrifice given many times
for her children and their children,
her grandmother dreams
alive now in our bones,
keeping the circle still
in the green land beyond,
watching over us, vigilant,
fierce and unafraid.
