Another Response From Linda

red capped grotto
in the mushroom grotto
of red capped mushrooms,
i imagine there sings something
of beauty;

dangerous but gorgeous
full of energy and light
whose wings are anything but fragile—

they say you should avoid the
fae,
but i’m too curious for my own good;
would probably try to watch,
at the very least to see what they were like—

i know better than to give them
my name or my birthday
or make any deals with them,

but surely it couldn’t hurt
to watch them?

i can’t help but wonder about
the creatures
who make such lovely grottos.
