Tuesday is pale green, a lady
Whose great-grandfather
was a tree,
A holm oak, who, under
the name
Of Citizen Quercus Ilex
Traipsed through
Regency England
With Herman, Fürst von Puckler-Muskau.
Wednesday is a pied
grey man, immensely strong
And full of learning
but unreliable.
Though a distant
cousin of Aesred,
Goddess of his day, he
insists
He believes in no gods nor in himself.
Thursday is tall and
wealthy and rust-red.
It is for her sake the
Lord of Knives
Learned to sing and
the Lord of Bone
Wanders forever,
houseless and silent.
