Cat Black (the Wizard`s Hat)

<br>Catblack the wizard`s hat <br>Spun in lore from Dagamoor <br>The skull of jade was pearl inlaid <br>The silks, skin spun, repelled the Sun <br>A tusk of boar with dwarfish awe <br>Sobs on the door where stood before <br>A mountain man with sky-blue teeth <br>Upon his head a python`s wreath <br>A deer he slew in the dawning`s dew <br>Her heart was a dagger for a murderer`s brew. <br><br>A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass <br>Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past <br>A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature`s costly gold <br>Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old <br>But his kiss he held and shadowed for the spell of nights are strong <br>And spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song <br><br>Catblack the wizard`s back <br>Daubed in doom in his tounge tombed room <br>We of the wind must rejoice and speak <br>And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek.
