If you were accused of numinosity
Would you be exotic include
Among your accouterment
A crown or tiara a wand or staff
Would you be indifferent to
Inquisitive hosts’ questions
Leave them to decide among
Various foreign residences
Accompanying identities
Perhaps a Celtic Faery from
A parallel world rarely seen
Outside of midsummer nights
A disturbance in the harmonics
Of whirling galaxies that
Would please Pythagoras
Perhaps an oracular prophet
Concerned to convey once
Secret knowledge in a time
Of dire need and consequence
Come from a border land where
Past and future meet for those
With eyes to see ears to hear
