Seven
battered white gusts:
bleachers nearer the blackness
Minna
small but not afear'd
Cow
massive with twin horns
and that moon, backwards:
have no doubt
t'was on account of that cat
Seven
foamy white swans did swim
around the eye
nearer 'n darkness
Stardust
holes in a knitted coverlet:
seven ragged swans
the gold and the blue
Swans
carved in stone
by the millpond
those twins sired an army
Minna, he calls her
her name, small protector
for the druid light as saved them

Well... a few bits and pieces which could be called legends, mashed up together. "Minna" is the cat "Minnaloushe" from Yeats's "The Cat and the Moon," though I've made mine female (perhaps she's a descendent). "Minna" means "protector" and "loushe" means "light". I intended the millpond to be the one used by the Wiltshire Moonrakers (where I grew up). The swans and the twins were suggested by the Mabinogion. So if it is a legend, it's a bit of a jigsaw :-)
