Leaf-Litter from the Debatable Woods

"...Son of Japhet," said John's girl,
Jenny's daughter, wood and water,
"Earth and breath would offer thee,
Blood of fire, a friendship free..."

 

From an unpublishable fragment in which a definite non-poet attempts to recount a part of the backstory which does not translate reasonably into prose, from a place where even the physics rhymes instead of repeating.

I don't know that I'll get any prose out of this excursion myself, but I did get some enlightenment on one of the Kateverse's wilder mysteries.

Thanks! It looks interesting from the first chapter, and I wouldn't have found it on my own. I'm under an enormous drift of reading and research at present, so it may be a while before I can sit down to it properly...
