Lang's (2017) invocation of Tal (1996), "Traumatic events are written and rewritten until they become codified and narrative form gradually replaces content as the focus of attention" (p 11), brings to mind two related lines of narrative theory: [1/7]

besom

household implement? used for sweeping?
a broom for the slower ones in the back
you get it, but after I open the grimoire,
flip to 'flying spells,' after I apply my flying ointment--
readily available from any elderly witch over 40,
it's a joke we have-- smooth it into my elbows,
knees, neck, across the collarbones,
a small dollop on the heels -- I must be thrifty --
a smidge up and around the curls of my ankles,
after I ready the besom,
run my needles over the bristles, scratch-scratch,
after I rev an invisible engine, well, I'm off
I let my toes skim the rose bushes, coming back pink,
I bite my thumb, I thumb my nose, I blow raspberries,
I stick my thumbs in my ears, hee-haw hee-haw,
and I can't fly for very long,
mandrake and thorn apple never quite taking,
never quite gifting the besom the magic it needs,
the grimoire chock full of love potion recipes
and spells for summoning demons
but I don't want elixirs, all the demons are already here,
I want hope, I want something to believe in,
and yeah, I want spite,
because it never solves anything, but, I don't know, it might?
it puts a smile on my face anyway,
and when my besom runs out of gas,
I glide back, chug-chug-sputter-pant
you'll never get a better night's sleep
than the one you take after spitting in the metaphorical eye
of the mighty and high who don't think there's a hell
if they behave like this,
but boy, brother, take a good look around,
we known there is
