Where did Cassie go?

—

Once upon a time, there was a Bhanvra and a Bichoo. They’d had a pretty rough time of it getting to be the sun of their father and mother – the Sun and the Moon.

Now theirs was to live and die, fight and fly

by the rhythms of the tides, Indra,

flowers, rainbows, unicorns standing by

one terrifying day, the monkeys started sprinting across

the tops of the mighty evergreens at the far edge

of their everlake and the Bhanvra and Bichoo knew

the Fox had arrived

that snake! it must have bit a monkey at last

the monkey would have lost control

gone too far, made enemies

and now the wolves were a’coming.

quick, said the Bhanvra, I’ll take the sky

you take the sea

we will see then what’s meant to be

the Bichoo cursed and dove under

the Bhanvra kissed the last flower and

rose under

and to this day, the butterflies

marry the twain. while the mother of the Shebas

wails as she wars

Where did my Cassie go

where o where did my kassi go

oh I miss her so

i miss her so.
