Stream of consciousness . . . .

A blind sorcerers rift
A hunchbacked hermits divine gift

Secret of Indian rope trick
An age old manuscript
In cipher Arabic or Sanskrit
Unread and stashed
In a casket or chest
Velvet maroon vest
Tailorbirds intricate nest
Mesmerizing piece of a broken quill
A map of an unearthly outlandish hill
Talismanic conchs
Neem twig

A pariahs curse
An hourglass full of venom

A dog eared book of shanties
A chuckling fakirs lifetime bounties

Fearsome custodians of an ancient shrine
Accustomed eyes of a stargazer

Prophecies of a witch doctor
A lad looking for his lost marble.
