The Universe is conspiring
conspiring frogs, I tell you
as little zabko considers dragons
the oracle insists on
clearing, cleansing, healing
revealing
the true nature of a spirit
out of balance
in need of water
for energy life breath
in the light of the
frog moon
drink from the cup
she says
put down that heavy load
forgive
rest
release
