Enchantment

Why all this 

mistrust

I have 

never taken you

into the circle

within the ring of flowers

or under the hills


I have not 

breathed over you

that you might forget 

the danger of it

I have not offered you

wine made from 

the grapes which are 

grown in darkness 


I have promised

not to do it 

I have promised 

not to ravish your will

or to hum 

intoxicating songs

under my breath 

or feed you cherries 

soaked in my blood


and I have nearly 

always 

not broken 

my promises.
